Went to see Von my physical therapist this morning. He had them do a bunch of stuff - ultrasound, e-stem, massage and ice. Hoped to have some time to do some biking as well but the other stuff took a while so only had time for 15 minutes on the bike.
After massaging both feet Von said he could see a noticeable difference between the plantar fascia on the left (torn/ruptured) foot vs the right foot. He thinks I am correct in thinking a large portion of the plantar on the left has detached at the heel. He says this isn't necessarily a bad thing but I'll need to take care to always use shoes with good arch supports to make up for the lost functionality of the PF in the left foot. Otherwise I run the risk of losing my arch, getting flat feet (at least the left one) and having all kinds of nasty problems that come with that.
Von is a great guy (also a childhood bud) and excellent PT. I highly recommend him.
