The plantar fascia is a large group of ligaments that are bound together and run from the ball of the foot to the heel. This group of tissue creates a tension that pulls your foot into an arch. With improper movement of the foot these ligaments begin to break down. This causes inflammation, and now you have a condition called plantar fasciitis.
Sounds pain full! All from losing the arch in your foot. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteSadly yes that usually starts the process. Orthoics can give you back the arch in your foot. Thanks for the comment!
