Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Videos

Plantar fasciitis is a common medical condition that causes heel pain and foot discomfort. Your plantar fascia is a flat band of tissue that is responsible for connecting your heel bone to your toes. When this area becomes strained, the fascia weakens and begins to swell. Most people notice this type of heel pain immediately after standing up in the morning. While this condition more commonly affects middle-aged people, it can also affect athletes and younger people that are constantly on their feet.
