What is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common, painful condition affecting the heel and underside of the foot. It is characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of connective tissues that run from the heel bone to the toes, providing arch support. The discomfort associated with plantar fasciitis is typically most acute with the first steps after awakening or long periods of resting, as the fascia stiffens. Athletic activities can also exacerbate the pain and stiffness, which may gradually develop into a chronic pain scenario if unaddressed. For individuals seeking relief, registered massage therapists (RMT) at Locus Health serving in Vancouver, East Vancouver, Hastings, Burnaby Heights, Brentwood, Renfrew and Rupert area offer a range of therapies designed to promote optimal health and alleviate foot pain.
