Heel Spurs

Hello,

I have been training my mother for 3-4 months now. She currently does squats, OHP, and deadlifts. However at times she has extremely painful heel spurs which forces her to cut her workout short. Squatting really hurts for her. Any advice on dealing with this? She is 59 years old if that helps. She has been having this for 3-4 years now.

Thanks for your help.

Hey, sorry to hear about your mother’s foot pain. Can you provide some background information about the diagnosis of heel spurs? How’d this information come about?

Overall, heel spurs are often blamed for plantar fasciopathy. The usual approach here is training with tolerable symptoms while managing loading to the area. I’m curious to prior supplied narratives.
