What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue running along the bottom of your foot. This condition typically causes sharp heel pain, especially with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of rest.
Causes and Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis
Common Causes:
- Overuse and high-impact activity (running, jumping)
- Biomechanical issues (flat feet, high arches, overpronation)
- Poor footwear lacking arch support
- Prolonged standing on hard surfaces
- Tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Sharp heel pain, especially in the morning
- Tenderness along the arch of the foot
- Swelling or inflammation
- Pain that worsens after exercise, not during
- Discomfort after long periods of standing or walking
If you’re experiencing these plantar fasciitis symptoms, it’s time to seek expert assessment.
Traditional Plantar Fasciitis Treatments
Most cases of plantar fasciitis can be effectively managed with a combination of home care and physical therapy.
Standard treatments include:
- Rest to reduce strain on the fascia
- Ice therapy to decrease inflammation
- Plantar fasciitis stretches for the calves and foot arches
- Strengthening exercises to improve foot biomechanics
- Supportive footwear or orthotics (see our guide on the best plantar fasciitis shoes)
- Manual therapy to release tension
Our team will guide you through plantar fasciitis exercises tailored to your foot structure, mobility, and lifestyle.

FAQs
What are the best treatment options for plantar fasciitis?
A combination of stretching, strengthening, footwear adjustments, and physiotherapy is most effective. Chronic cases benefit from shockwave therapy or acupuncture.
How long does it take to recover from plantar fasciitis?
Mild cases can improve in 4–6 weeks. More severe cases may take 3–6 months depending on compliance with treatment.
Are there any natural remedies for plantar fasciitis?
Yes. Stretching, massage, icing, and wearing supportive footwear can help. However, professional assessment ensures you’re not missing an underlying issue.
Can plantar fasciitis be cured without surgery?
Yes. Surgery is rarely needed. With the right plantar fasciitis exercises, manual therapy, and support, most patients recover without invasive procedures.
What are the best shoes for plantar fasciitis?
Supportive shoes with arch support, cushioning, and shock absorption are ideal. Avoid flat shoes like flip-flops or worn-out trainers.
