An Insight Into the Plantar Fascia: Foundation of Foot Health
Central to understanding plantar fasciopathy is delving into the anatomy of the plantar fascia—a robust tissue akin to a tendon or ligament that traverses beneath the foot and connects to the heel bone, or calcaneum. In some instances, the strain on this tissue can manifest as a heel spur, a bony growth near the heel. While heel spurs and plantar fasciitis share similarities, the targeted interventions offered by physiotherapy can effectively address these issues, offering relief and restoration to those affected by foot discomfort. Undue stress can be place dupon the plantar fascia die to reduced ankle mobility caused by a stiff ankle or tight calves. A weakness in the intrinsic foot muscles and calf also may place undue stress on this tissue.
