Plan-ter-fash-ee-WHAT?? Plantar Fasciitis explained

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Plantar fasciitis, pronounced “PLAN-ter fash-ee-I-tis,” is a repetitive stress injury affecting the sturdy band of connective tissue which runs from your heel to the base of your toes. It is characterized by numerous micro-tears along this band, which result in pain ranging from a dull ache to a sharp stabbing feeling. Plantar fasciitis can last for months or even years.

However, the condition is highly treatable and may heal much, much faster if its hobbled victim engages in active recovery. Recovery time can be reduced immensely if the sufferer commits to a sensible, sound recuperation plan. This blog will discuss active recovery steps and how you can work them into your daily life.
