Think you’ve got plantar fasciitis? Well, you might actually be dealing with plantar fasciosis—and the difference matters.

Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation of the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue that runs from your heel to the front of your foot.

The interesting thing is: in chronic cases, research has shown that there’s little to no inflammation present. Instead, they’ve found degeneration of the tissue, such as frayed collagen fibres, reduced blood flow, and thickening of the fascia. That’s not inflammation—it’s degeneration, known as plantar fasciosis.

How we treat these conditions matters, as the treatment needs to match the condition.

If it’s fasciitis (inflammatory):
• Rest
• Ice
• Anti-inflammatory medication

If it’s fasciosis (degenerative):
• A progressive loading plan
• Stimulating blood flow and tissue repair
• Addressing biomechanics—think foot function, calf strength and hip control—because it’s all connected.

Signs it might be fasciosis instead of fasciitis:
• Pain lasting longer than 6–8 weeks
• Anti-inflammatories and rest haven’t helped much
• No obvious redness, swelling, or heat—just ongoing, nagging pain

So, if your heel pain isn’t settling with the usual advice, it might be time to take a different approach.

Why do we keep talking about strength training? Because these traditional barbell movements actually carry over to real life.

What you practice in the gym can mirror your daily activities: squats for sitting, deadlifts for picking up shopping, and carries for those heavy bags.

Nothing complicated - just useful strength training with purpose beyond the gym.

Paula specialises in these essential movements and can help you build strength that carries over to everyday life. Message us for personalised strength programming today.

“I could honestly cry with happiness. The whole drive to Pitlochry, I could lift my left leg right off the floor—absolutely no pain. Walked down a flight of stairs not holding on with no pain. Climbed a hill and walked down without my knees going.”

No fancy words needed—this is what we do

We can’t begin to express how proud and happy we feel seeing Anne regain freedom in her movement—and overcoming frustrations and limitations and feeling joy once again 🥲
