I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis back at the start of September 2018. I had always been super active; being a dancer my whole life, a runner, and a collegiate athlete through college, I was used to being quick and on my feet. So not being able to do any of the activities I loved, let alone walk without being in excruciating pain, was something I could not handle. I immediately started to do physical therapy twice a week due to my doctor’s recommendation. After about six weeks of consistently going to physical therapy and doing the stretches given to me religiously, I was not noticing a difference in my pain. After watching me suffer and not having any improvements through physical therapy, my aunt suggested I make an appointment with Don Beatty. He had worked wonders on two of my aunts and three cousins. I quickly made an appointment, hoping to have the same luck as they all did. After the first session with Don, I walked “normally” the next day. Before seeing Don, I could only walk on my tip toes due to the pain in my heels. I began seeing Don once a week for five weeks. One day after my second session, I was in terrible pain. I called Don to see if there was any chance, he had a last-minute availability for that day, and he fit me right into his schedule. After five weeks of six sessions, each at an hour, and continuing the stretches Don gave me, I am returning to working out and walking with ease. Don has a way of understanding the body and every ligament, joint, and muscle and how they connect and can cause pain within the body. I would recommend Don to anyone struggling with pain or discomfort within the body. He takes a natural and safe approach to correct each client.
