Understanding Plantar Fasciitis
The plantar fascia is a strong band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel to the toes. It plays an important role in supporting the arch and helping the foot move efficiently during walking and running.
In some individuals, increased stress through the plantar fascia from walking, standing, activity changes, footwear, or long-term loading patterns may contribute to tissue irritation near the heel attachment. This may involve changes within the fascia and periods of symptom flare-up associated with inflammation or overload.
This may lead to heel pain that feels more noticeable after rest, improves with movement, and returns when the plantar fascia is placed under load again.
Factors That May Increase Stress on the Plantar Fascia
Plantar fasciitis is commonly associated with mechanical and loading-related factors that place increased stress on the plantar fascia where it attaches to the heel. Some common contributing factors we assess may include:
