Plantar fasciitis is often due to overuse and stress on the plantar fascia, leading to strain and damage. Risk factors and contributing factors include:
structure: Flat feet or high arches can increase stress on the plantar fascia.
: Being overweight or gaining weight can increase strain on the feet.
: Overuse from activities like running long distances or on hard surfaces.
: Shoes with poor arch support or soft soles can contribute.
tightness: Tightness in the calf muscles and Achilles tendon can affect foot mechanics.
