Condition
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is inflammation and irritation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, causing heel pain. It is often linked to overuse, poor footwear, foot type, excess weight, or age, and can usually be treated without surgery. A physical therapist teaches exercises and techniques to improve foot strength and flexibility as part of a broader treatment plan.
