Plantar fasciitis is a common and often frustrating foot condition that affects many people. It occurs when there is irritation in the plantar fascia, which is a robust band of tissue stretching from your heel to your toes, acting as a vital support for your foot muscles. This condition can make everyday activities challenging!
The primary culprit behind plantar fasciitis is excessive strain on the plantar fascia. A variety of factors can contribute to this condition, including overuse from high-impact activities, wearing improper footwear, having flat feet or high arches, tight calf muscles, obesity, and even occupations that require long periods of standing or walking on hard surfaces. Understanding these causes can help you find ways to prevent or manage this condition effectively.
The hallmark symptom of plantar fasciitis is often a sharp or stabbing pain in the heel, typically felt on the bottom of the foot. This discomfort tends to be more pronounced first thing in the morning or after any extended periods of sitting or resting. Many people find the pain initially eases with movement but may intensify after long activities. Recognizing these symptoms early can lead to quicker intervention and relief.
Treating plantar fasciitis often involves a well-rounded approach that includes stretching exercises, utilizing orthotics, exploring shockwave therapy, wearing supportive footwear and engaging in physiotherapy. Incorporating home exercises to stretch the plantar fascia and consistently wearing cushioned, supportive shoes, especially on hard floors, can make a significant difference in your comfort level.
Recovery times can vary greatly among individuals, typically spanning from a few weeks to several months. Factors such as the duration of your symptoms and your ability to manage contributing issues play a role. With diligent care and adherence to treatment recommendations, many people start to notice improvements within just a few weeks. Hope is on the horizon!
While it's often best to steer clear of high-impact activities that may worsen your symptoms, don't feel discouraged. Low-impact exercises such as swimming, cycling, and gentle stretching can be fantastic alternatives. Be sure to consult with a healthcare professional for tailored guidance that fits your unique situation, you can keep moving forward.
To keep plantar fasciitis at bay, prioritize wearing supportive, well-fitted shoes, avoid overstraining your feet, maintain a healthy weight, regularly practice stretching and strengthening exercises for your feet and calf muscles, and gradually raise your activity levels to prevent sudden overuse. Small, proactive steps can go a long way in maintaining your foot health.
If heel pain lingers for more than a few weeks, it's a good idea to seek professional medical advice. Early intervention is key to getting back on your feet and enjoying life.
Remember, while these FAQs offer valuable general insights, they're not a substitute for personalized advice. Consulting with a trusted healthcare professional or physiotherapist is essential to create a treatment plan tailored just for you, ensuring you receive the most effective care for your plantar fasciitis. Stay hopeful and take proactive steps towards relief!

- Angela Brook
Super friendly staff. After suffering knee and lower back pain for ages, in desperate need I contacted these people. I have seen Regina twice now and she has done more for me in these 2 sessions than I have had in the past few years. Wonderful! She knows exactly what they problems are and how to fix them. I already have less pain than I have had for many years. Thankyou all.
- Sally Turney
Fantastic experience and engagement from the Physio. Without the support of the Physiotherapist we would not of got a referal for my daughter which supported a hospital appointment and a diagnosis. They made Penny (age 7) feel completely at ease and comfortable. Highly recommended for their knowledge and attention
- Louise Taylor
Great Physio therapy practice, very flexible and offering both 1:1 appointments and group exercise and rehab sessions, definetly recommend
- Magdalena Brandner
I would HIGHLY reccomend Back in Motion. I suffered for 8+ years with a condition and then had a major operation to correct it. I lost all confidence in how to move and use my body safely and comfortably. The calm, knowledgeable, friendly and careful handling by all the staff, but particularly Aimee has meant that I have regained confidence and in turn fitness. The careful progression and collaboration has been excellent. Thank you all! PS physio works best if YOU work with your physio!
- Sheila K
Brilliant new premises. Nice & friendly staff. Knowledgeable and understanding Physiotherapist.
- Alan Boulter
I have used Back In Motion for two courses of physiotherapy treatment over the past couple of years for an Achilles Tendinitis problem; the most recent was during the past couple of months.
I find this company to be very professional and also very friendly and welcoming from the moment you step through their door. I would particularly like to mention Salman Abedi who was my most recent physiotherapist at Back In Motion. He was outstanding, and I would even go as far as to say, he was the best physiotherapist I have ever had. I can highly recommend him and Back In Motion.
- Jacquie Wright
Dan gave me an hour sports massage and when I tell you I came out of it feeling completely different. It was amazing. I would highly recommend that to anyone that has some sort of problem. My neck and shoulders haven't felt this relaxed in years. And to top it all off, it was so good and I was so relaxed after that I proceeded to sleep for 3 hours
- Georgia Smith (Gee)
From the very beginning everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. I have had physio with Simran, who worked hard to achieve the best outcomes and was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had to include Gemma, who again explainedevery step in a friendly way but worked with me and not just told what to do. Communication is excellent even to just phoning to check how I was doing between appointments. I have also had a massage with Ailish, she read my history and explained everything she did and how it relates to another part of the body or why it was under stress. All in all this has been the most positive couple of mo the I have had after being under the hospital before and feeling I was getting no where. I now feel there is an end to the pain I’m going through and it is thanks to the team in spriwston
