I had the pleasure of helping a family member with plantas fasciitis today in a reflexology session. I received this message from her "Thanks for the reflexology, my sore heel does feel a lot better"
What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis happens when your plantar fascia becomes damaged. The plantar fascia is a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It connects your heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of the foot.
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain and can develop because of:
overstretching your foot
overusing your foot
a medical condition
Plantar fasciitis is often associated with a heel spur. This is a spike of bone poking out from the heel bone. However, many people have heel spurs without any pain.
