⚠️ What causes plantar heel pain? It’s not just bad luck—it’s a load management issue.⁠
⁠
For dancers, when the stress on your plantar fascia increases beyond what it can handle—whether from weak intrinsics foot muscles, long rehearsals, sudden increases in training, or dancing on hard floors—your plantar fascia may start to protest!⁠
⁠
👣 Common culprits include:
▪️ Spikes in training volume
▪️ Hard flooring or barefoot choreography
▪️ Pointe work and repetitive footwork
▪️ Tight calves & limited ankle mobility
▪️ Weak intrinsic foot muscles⁠
⁠
And it’s not just dancers—older non-dancing adults may also be at risk due to reduced tissue elasticity and metabolic factors.⁠

Dancers, do you experience heel pain when you first get out of bed? Or after a long rehearsal? You might be dealing with plantar heel pain (a.k.a. plantar fasciopathy or plantar fasciitis)!
⁠
👣 Common symptoms include:
🔸 Sharp pain under the heel—especially with those first steps in the morning
🔸 Discomfort after long periods of sitting or rest
🔸 Pain that improves with movement but returns after standing or dancing for too long
🔸 Pain post-class or after repetitive footwork like sautés, relevé, or pointe work
⁠
Pain often hits the inner edge of the heel and can radiate into the arch. Catching symptoms early is key to avoiding long-term issues.⁠

Check out our latest blog dedicated to this common condition and helping you with your heel pain!

🦶What actually causes plantar heel pain (a.k.a. plantar fasciopathy or plantar fasciitis)? It’s not about inflammation—it’s about overload.⁠
⁠
The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that supports your arch and absorbs impact. When it’s pushed beyond its limits—whether from muscle weakness, intense training, long hours on your feet, or sudden changes in activity—it can’t recover fast enough.⁠
⁠
💥 The result? Pain where the fascia meets the heel bone.⁠
⁠
Once called “plantar fasciitis,” we now know it’s not usually acute inflammation—it’s more about tissue stress over time.⁠
⁠
Understanding the root cause is the first step toward healing. 🧠👣⁠ Our latest blog takes a close look at common causes of plantar heel pain!

Preventing En Pointe Injuries starts with the right preparation! 💪✨

- Gradually increase loading at the back of your ankle to build strength and stability.
- Ensure your hip and knee muscles are strong to take the load off your ankle and foot when in the extreme pointe position.
- Choose the right style of pointe shoe to support your technique and protect your body.

Keep dancing strong and safe! 🩰 Read more in the linked blog!

To reduce the risk of a lateral ankle sprain in dancers, the most effective approach is regular, individualised exercise 🏋️‍♂️. If a personalised program isn’t possible, focus on strengthening the calves and feet, as well as the deep core and deep hip rotators. Maintaining overall health and fitness is also crucial for injury prevention and long-term performance. Head to this great blog to read more!
