Why is Plantar Fasciitis is becoming a problem in our community?
Over the years our shoes have changed, we walk on hard surfaces all day long and we sit for long hours everyday without exercising our feet the way we should. We also wear sandals that slide and we have to grip our toes while walking.
How does Plantar Fasciitis happen?
The plantar Fascia underneath our feet helps us to move our feet when we walk. It is made of ligamentous tissue and when stretched too far, it will inflame and become tender and sore. Our bones in our feet are meant to move and glide on dirt and adhere to surfaces. Now that we walk on hard surfaces all day long, owe slam our bones on the ground and our slam on our fascia.
The plantar fascia goes from our heel to our toes. When it is tight, it pulls on the toes creating "hammer toe" and also pulls on the heel which can cause a heel spur which leads to a lot of pain.
