Physical Therapy Course · Plantar Fasciitis

Heel pain with the first step after waking may be plantar fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is irritation of the fascia on the sole of the foot where it attaches to the heel. It is often most painful with the first steps in the morning or after sitting for a long time (heel pain can have many causes, so the physical therapist assesses first). Common factors include prolonged standing or walking, shoes without arch support, tight calves and Achilles tendon, foot shape, and body weight. Many people may improve with lifestyle adjustments combined with physical therapy. Results vary between individuals.

Frequently asked questions

Can plantar fasciitis go away on its own?

Some people improve on their own with rest and better footwear. However, if the pain is chronic or keeps coming back, assessment and training with a physical therapist can help identify contributing factors, such as tight calves or walking pattern.

Is Shockwave necessary?

Not for everyone. Stretching and footwear adjustment are the core. Shockwave is used for some people depending on assessment. You may feel pain in the treated area during the procedure, and it is not performed on people who are pregnant, have a wound or infection in that area, or have a bleeding tendency.
