Wow, Daisy! I’m so sorry that you’re struggling with this. PF is just awful. I’m not a doctor either, but the fins and aquajogger shoes increase resistance in the water – so they might be something to work up to rather than to start.

Know that there is shallow water aerobics and deep water aerobics. If you don’t want any weight on your feet, deep water would be the way to go. Also, some gyms/aquatic centers offer pool running classes.

I’ve had chronic plantar fasciitis for 3 years. After 15 years of running and yoga and working long hours as a nurse my feet are in trouble. I haven’t run in 3 years. I’ve stopped teaching yoga ( i did this for 10 years) I have kept working. After trying many podiatrist recommendations, the night splints, ice and exercises etc. I’ve had my feet put into hard casts. (One at a time). When the cast comes off in 2 weeks I plan to hit the pool. I have gained 20 pounds during this period of 3 years and I know losing weight will help. I don’t want to lose my gains of de-escalating the inflammation through casting and rest. So i’m trying to be very smart about how i approach pool work outs. While my doctor is all for the pool, he’s not a sports doctor.
This last year even cycling and lower body weightlifting has triggered painful flareups.I’m thinking the pool is my last resort.
I’m looking for suggestions on pool work outs. I hope to mix it up. I’m hoping to start with water aerobics at a nearby gym and then get more self directed as my comfort level increases. I don’t want to do anything to aggravate my feet (Like pushing off walls when doing laps)
I’m considering fins or the jogger shoes but I don’t know if they will make it better or worse.
Any feedback would be appreciated
