Frequently asked questions
What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a condition that develops when the plantar fascia is strained and/or inflamed.
The plantar fascia is a thick, fibrous band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot from the heel to the ball and toes. The ligament is attached at one side to the heel bone and at the other fans out to attach at the base of each of your five toes, supporting your arch and acting as a shock absorber.
When excessively stretched, micro-tears can occur in the tissue, causing swelling and pain. This can also cause other problems, like reduced stability or foot and ankle discomfort.
What are the symptoms of plantar fasciitis?
A sharp pain in the middle of your heel, that's worse first thing in the morning or after rest, is one of the main symptoms of plantar fasciitis. Some people also feel increased strain in the sole of their foot.
What causes plantar fasciitis?
Heel pain like plantar fasciitis can develop due to poor biomechanics, such as over-pronation, when your feet roll in too far when you take a step. Unsupportive footwear can worsen stability issues, which is why the best shoes for plantar fasciitis have contoured footbeds for enhanced arch support.
How can I treat plantar fasciitis?
We've put together five healthy tips for easing and preventing plantar fasciitis:
1. Wear supportive footwear
Update your wardrobe with shoes for plantar fasciitis or invest in a special insole to help with natural realignment. When worn consistently, orthopaedic shoes and orthotics are a great first step in managing the condition, effectively alleviating pain and improving stability. Choose footwear that stays secure on your feet with cushioning and heel support.
2. Stretch regularly
Keeping your calf muscles limber helps to reduce the strain on the plantar fascia. To stretch your calves and Achilles tendon, stand on the edge of a step, resting your weight on the balls of your feet. Bend your knees for 25 seconds and then straighten. Perform up to five repetitions whenever tightening occurs.
3. Exercise your arches
While seated and barefoot, try this exercise to reduce high arch, heel spurs and plantar fasciitis pain. Squeeze your foot as if you have a small marble under the ball of your foot and then pretend to set it down on the floor – and repeat. This stretches and strengthens the muscles that run under the metatarsals, enhancing overall stability and comfort.
4. Slowly increase physical activity
Plantar fasciitis can be caused or worsened by overuse, especially if it's a sudden change. If you’re a runner, limit weekly mileage increases to 10%, max. If you’re new to a walking programme, the same caution should be applied. Choose the best shoes for exercising to safeguard against plantar fasciitis, like cushioned trainers with a balanced drop and ample room in the toe box.
5. Apply ice and rest
After mild stretching, use a frozen water bottle to roll under the arch of your foot for 10-20 minutes or apply a cold pack to the bottom of your heel.
