Heel pain is equally common among the fit and the not-so-fit. It’s known as Plantar Fasciitis, arising from overload of the long arch beneath the foot. The ligaments (Plantar Fascia) that run from the heel fan out into five bands to the base of your toes, and these can thicken, degenerate and become sharply painful. 

It’s often triggered by a rapid increase in a new exercise (hill running, for example). Or it can come about because joints and muscles aren’t working correctly (poor biomechanics), weight gain or even ill-fitting shoes. The condition can take months to resolve. So what are the treatment options?

New studies show that the most effective approach to managing heel pain is a six week package of treatment, combining daily stretching exercises, taping and education.  Watch to find out more.
