About the Condition

What It Is & Why It Happens

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most misunderstood and mis-managed foot conditions. Most patients are told to 'just rest' or 'wear better shoes' — neither of which fixes the underlying issue.

Modern evidence is clear: progressive loading (heavy calf raises with bent and straight knees) is the gold standard. Combined with manual therapy and footwear advice, most cases resolve within 8–12 weeks.

Recovery outlook: 8–12 weeks for most cases; chronic plantar fasciitis (>6 months) may need longer.

Common Causes

  • Sudden increase in walking or running
  • Long periods of standing
  • Tight calf and Achilles
  • Weak intrinsic foot muscles
  • Unsupportive flat or worn-out footwear
  • Weight gain
