The plantar fascia is tough fibrous tissue on the bottom of the foot , traveling from the heel to the toes.
Inflammation of this structure is called plantar fasciitis and is usually felt as pain in the arch, near the heel.
Patients suffering from plantar fascitis usually find that the first step out of bed in the morning is the worst, and
then the pain gradually decreases during the day. Predisposing conditions include overpronation of the foot, tight
calf muscles, poor ankle flexibility, and weak muscles on the bottom of the foot. At Everybody physical therapy we
can assess the causes of the problem and help establish a program that is specific for your needs.
