Understanding Plantar Fascia Heel Pain
Running along the underside of the foot is the plantar fascia — a thick band of tissue that connects the heel to the toes. The plantar fascia helps support the foot arch and contributes to movement and load absorption during daily activity.
Factors such as increased standing, walking, activity changes, footwear, or repetitive stress through the foot may place additional load on the plantar fascia. Over time, this may contribute to irritation, tissue changes, or reduced load tolerance around the heel attachment.
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.
Common Risk Factors Associated With Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis may develop when repetitive stress and loading exceed the plantar fascia’s ability to tolerate strain. Common contributing factors seen in clinic may include:
