🦶 Plantar Fasciitis – What’s Really Happening Under Your Foot

This image shows the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the heel bone (calcaneus) to the toes. Its main job is to support the arch and help the foot act like a spring during walking and running.

🔍 The Biomechanics Behind the Pain

With every step, the plantar fascia is loaded and stretched

Excessive load, poor foot mechanics, or repeated strain causes:

Micro-tears at the heel attachment

Inflammation near the calcaneus

Thickening and reduced elasticity over time

📌 The pain is usually worst in the morning because the fascia stiffens overnight and is suddenly loaded when you stand.

⚠️ Common Biomechanical Contributors

❌ Prolonged standing or walking
❌ Over-pronation or very high arches
❌ Tight calf muscles & Achilles tendon
❌ Sudden increase in activity
❌ Poor footwear or lack of arch support

🔗 It’s Not Just a Foot Problem

Plantar fasciitis is often part of a kinetic chain issue:

Limited ankle dorsiflexion → increased heel stress

Poor hip & core control → altered foot loading

Calf tightness → constant pull on the heel

✅ Key Treatment Principles

✔ Reduce excessive load (not total rest)
✔ Improve calf & plantar fascia flexibility
✔ Strengthen intrinsic foot muscles
✔ Address ankle, knee, and hip mechanics
✔ Use supportive footwear when needed

🧠 Take-Home Message

👉 Plantar fasciitis is a load-management and movement problem, not just “heel pain.”
Treating only the pain without fixing mechanics leads to recurrence.

🦶 Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

Custom foot orthotics are designed to correct foot function and improve alignment with the lower leg—helping treat and prevent injury-causing movement.

If you experience excessive pronation (rolling in) or supination (rolling out), custom orthotics can make standing, walking, and running more efficient and comfortable.

⚠️ Not all orthotics are created equal.
A proper fit starts with a full biomechanical assessment—because your feet deserve personalized care.
