Plantar Fasciitis Massage Santa Barbara

Targeted Relief for Heel Pain & Arch Tightness

Plantar fasciitis develops when the fascia along the bottom of the foot becomes tight, inflamed, or overloaded from repetitive strain, poor footwear, tight calves, or overuse. It often shows up as stabbing heel pain first thing in the morning or after periods of rest. At Schwartz Sports Massage, plantar fasciitis treatment combines deep tissue work, myofascial release, and muscle scraping to relieve tension in the plantar fascia, calves, and surrounding tissue, reducing pain and restoring mobility.

Who It's For & What to Expect

This treatment is ideal for runners, athletes, and anyone dealing with persistent heel or arch pain, tightness after standing or walking for long periods, or recovery from a flare-up that hasn't improved with rest alone. Expect focused work on the arch, heel, and calf, combining deep tissue massage with muscle scraping and myofascial release to address both the fascia itself and the muscles feeding into it. Sessions are calibrated to your pain tolerance and can be paired with cupping for added relief.
