Managing planter heel pain in athletes:

Often MSK conditions in particular (Planter heel pain) can act very differently in an endurance athletes than a relatively sedentary or less elite patient cohort.

We will need to broaden the differential diagnoses and reshape our treatment regimes.

We will explore some of these clinical challenges and look at what some of the research says around prognosis for planter heel pain in the Athlete cohort versus the non-athlete cohort.

We will also include a panel discussion of multidisciplinary experienced clinicians to gain their perspectives on this also to close the session.
