Plantar Fasciitis
Q. Why did this happen to me of all people?
A.
The shape of the foot, body weight, footwear and a sudden increase in activity often overlap. It rarely arises from a single cause.
📝 Detailed Answer
Load accumulates on the plantar fascia when the following conditions overlap.
- A flat sole, or the opposite — a cavus foot
- Exercise beyond what you are used to
- Repeated impact to the sole on a hard surface
- Weight gain, or work that involves standing for long periods
- Frequent wear of shoes without cushioning, or high heels
- A bone spur protruding from the heel bone
- Weakened muscle in the sole of the foot from middle age onwards
So releasing only the painful spot often helps just for the moment. We establish first which of these conditions overlap.
