What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and arch pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes—becomes inflamed or overstretched. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain, especially with the first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing or walking.

It can affect athletes, workers who stand for long hours, and even those with flat feet or improper footwear.

At Myo Physio at Home, we offer an integrated, non-surgical treatment plan delivered directly to your home, focused on:

  • Correcting biomechanical issues

  • Preventing recurrence

We combine Physiotherapy, Manual Therapy, and Chiropractic adjustments with personalized rehabilitation exercises to heal your foot—naturally and holistically.

Common Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

1. Overuse or repetitive strain

Common in runners, athletes, or individuals who stand for long hours.

2. Flat feet or high arches

Alter foot mechanics and increase tension on the plantar fascia.

3. Tight calf or Achilles tendon

Limits ankle motion and increases strain on the fascia.

4. Improper footwear

Lack of arch support or cushioning can trigger inflammation.

5. Obesity

Excess weight adds pressure on the foot with each step.

6. Poor foot biomechanics

Walking pattern (gait), overpronation, or unequal weight distribution.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

  • Sharp pain in the heel or arch, especially in the morning

  • Pain after prolonged standing or sitting

  • Discomfort that increases with activity, not during rest

  • Tightness in the calf or Achilles tendon

  • Tenderness at the bottom of the heel.
