Cullum Mills was a lock, I'm not sure now.
How can you manage the training loads when you have mild plantar fasciitis?
Rest is needed to recover.
Googled: mild plantar fasciitis recovery time
A mild case of plantar fasciitis typically takes 6-12 weeks to recover with proper treatment, including stretching and rest, with most people seeing significant improvement within the first two months.

Key points about mild plantar fasciitis recovery:
  • Early intervention is key:
    Starting treatment early with rest, ice, stretching, and supportive footwear can significantly shorten recovery time.

  • Pain management:
    Over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen can help alleviate discomfort while healing.

  • Physical therapy:
    A physical therapist can provide specific stretches and exercises to strengthen the plantar fascia and calf muscles.

  • Footwear considerations:
    Wearing supportive shoes with good arch support can help reduce strain on the plantar fascia.
Factors that may affect recovery time:
  • Severity of the condition: More severe cases may take longer to heal.

  • Activity level: Maintaining high-impact activities during recovery can slow down healing.

  • Age: Older individuals may have slower healing times.

Yeah I'm having a re-think of my backline now without him in it, if he does start ok with a couple of decent scores, I'll pick him up then.

I've had it, it sucks, but it's not exactly debilitating. If you want it to completely clear up you basically need that full rest, but really most people can play/train/whatever through it - it can sap explosiveness, you see it in American sports and guys don't get the same jump/spring they usually have. It's also what Lachie Neale almost won a Norm Smith through, and I think he had a more severe case.

This is an interesting piece about Neale’s experience. Very impressive effort, I’m surprised this hasn’t garnered more attention.

Didn't Daicos just recover from it. He looked ok the other night.
