squat in orthotics???

[SupportD.Troops]

i have plantar fasciatus and now have to wear orthotics in my shoes...

can i still squat and if so should i wear my orthotics when i squat?

[A.Machado]

I'm no expert but what I suggest is that you try to squat with them in. Start off very light and over multiple workouts add weight over time. Also try to squat without them in. A good shoe, for example Converse, should give you plenty of support.

On the plus side, if you have Plantar's Fasciitis from being an over-supinator, that's a good thing in squatting, as you'll be pushing out the sides of your feet instead of falling inwards (but I'm not sure what your cause would be).

I'd def wear them.

IF you can wear the orthotics and have a stable base and are able to push through your heals Id leave em in. If they make you feel unstable or role a little bit take em out. Thats my opinion

strengthen and stretch your feet and lower leg muscles (and, most likely, improve your hip flexibility) to get rid of teh plantehrs.

You can't be serious... I will neg you if you say you are.

i'm not sure what they're made out of, but if they're foam/cork it wouldn't be a good idea if they're expensive. they would get very compressed very fast and not provide the support for walking/running that you desire. squatting focuses your energy on a different spot than running (i.e. if you're playing many sports you want to be "on your toes" while powerlifting, football linemen, and skiing being the only sports i think of that want you on your heels) and would probably compress the material in a different manner.

yeh im stupid neg me..my bad

[4MEandThem]

I feel your pain! i have been dealing with it all year and it is worse than a broken foot.I have broken mine multiple times so I know.
Sucks trying to walk on broken feet huh.Mine is usually bad after deads but only for a day.Google Plantar stretching for some exercises to help the pain and get it stretched out.

[SupportD.Troops]

yeah the podiatrist showed me how to stretch but its not helping. i guess i have to stretch and wear orthotics for few weeks before i can get healed...and even then it can likely come back...damn

I squat with inserts in my shoes, infact I have them with whatever I'm doing in the gym.
-doesn't cause an issue.

Usually when you get orthotics they recommend wearing them an hour a day and then slowly increasing till you wear them all day, a lot depends on why you have them if it's not for a leg length discrepancy or anything I don't see a problem but you should check with your doc.

I have them and wear when squatting, although now that I think about it haven't been cause I've been wearing different shoes.
