What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis derives its name from the plantar fascia, a thick and robust fibrous attachment connecting the foot’s front to the heel. Its primary role is to ensure the foot’s normal biomechanics by supporting its arch. Plantar fascia is put to work during motions such as walking, placing the weight on the foot, and running. It may get damaged and swell if it sustains too much tension and stress.
