Motion Specific Release

The fat pads of the feet play a crucial role in shock absorption, weight distribution, and overall foot biomechanics. These specialized adipose structures, primarily located under the heel (calcaneal fat pad) and forefoot (metatarsal fat pad), undergo significant changes with aging, often leading to discomfort and an increased risk of foot-related conditions.

When patients ask me what more they can do to speed up their recovery from foot pain, reduce inflammation, and ease discomfort, my answer is often, “Yes, there’s more you can do!” Beyond the treatments and exercises we recommend, I often bring in two powerful approaches: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Fascial Manipulation.
