Battling Plantar Fasciitis at Disney World

I’ve been battling plantar fasciitis for a long time. I’m currently training for the NYC Marathon to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association and I looked into ways to ease the pain in my foot. I was having little success until I found Alleviate Therapy.

Before my marathon training began, there was something else on my calendar that I needed to be pain free to accomplish. That was visiting Disney World with my family.

Anyone that has ever visited any of the Disney theme parks knows your feet kill at the end of the day. I was going into the vacation with my feet already hurting and was afraid my painful moments would ruin my kids’ happiness.

Along with all my Disney themed t-shirts, my Alleviate kit made the journey to Orlando in my suitcase. The kit included a plantar fasciitis massager, compression socks, a therapy boot, and a massage cream.

 

 

 

We would come back to the hotel for a mid-day break and I would spend a few minutes using the foot massager. If I was walking around in the room, I wore the boot. I did the same thing at the end of the night. The compression socks were great, and I wore them throughout the day. Before I went to bed, I applied the cream to my heel.

I still had many moments of discomfort while walking around Disney World, but I couldn’t have made it through without the use of the Alleviate Plantar Fasciitis Kit. The vacation gave me an idea of how to use each item to prepare for my upcoming marathon.

Whether you’re going to Disney, running a marathon, or just wanting to get through a day of work, I recommend looking into Alleviate. It helped me at Disney and is currently helping me with marathon training.

As I said at the top, I’m running the NYC Marathon to raise money for Alzheimer’s research. If you feel inclined, please donate to my fundraising page here.
