After you have been in practice for a while, time and experience will help broaden your knowledge of plantar fasciitis. As with any other injury or condition, personal experience will also broaden your knowledge of plantar fasciitis, so be aware of the condition of your own feet and lower legs. Working with clients who have recurring episodes will help you get a sense of what works and what does not, and how that can change on a case-by-case basis, which will help you build a working knowledge of how to treat this common condition. There is no substitute for experience for practicing manual therapists, and you will find that you gain a lot of experience in a handful of conditions that are common in whatever part of the population contains your niche market. The more you know, the more solutions you can offer and the more comprehensive care you can provide.
