[Plantar fasciitis due to driving lessons?].
A first league female soccer player presented with the symptoms of a fasciitis plantaris of the left foot. After treatment and a training pause she complained about the same symptoms in the other foot. In our opinion the reason for this dysfunction could be driving lessons. After interrupting the driving lessons in combination with pelvic myofascial treatment, the foot complaints were resolved. We must therefore assume that unusual actions by an athlete may lead to an overuse syndrome. The conclusion for the physicians is that it is obligatory to determine all aspects of the athletes activitis, especially those of recreation and leisure time also.
