Can you ride a bike with plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis can involve cycling, as the weight-bearing load during cycling is reduced compared to walking, running, or mountain climbing. It allows appropriate movement of the knee and hip joints, which can help alleviate symptoms. With plantar fasciitis, it's best to minimize physical activities because once active, it may promote tension in the plantar fascia, leading to pain. Treatments can include heat application, physiotherapy, taking blood-activating and pain-relieving medications, and, if necessary, some invasive treatments to alleviate symptoms. After rest, recovery is generally slow, taking about 2 to 3 weeks, and symptoms can be reduced or even eliminated with the help of blood-activating and pain-relieving medication. However, it can easily recur, so it's recommended to wear sports shoes often, walk on flat surfaces, and sports shoes with air cushions are preferable for better effect. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
