What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain, responsible for around 80% of cases. It’s a repetitive strain injury where the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue connecting your heel bone to your toes — becomes irritated and damaged.
Despite its name, plantar fasciitis isn’t always about inflammation. It’s now understood as a degenerative condition (often called plantar fasciopathy), where the fibres thicken and lose their normal structure due to overload.
It’s most common in people aged 40–60, but can affect all ages. It’s also frequently seen in athletes and active individuals due to the repetitive stress placed on the foot.
Typical symptoms include:
- Sharp heel pain when you first stand in the morning
- Discomfort after sitting or resting
- Pain that worsens after prolonged standing, walking, or running
