Plantar fasciitis is a frustrating condition and can be the result of improper movement patterns that actually originate in the hips and pelvis.

Many patients self diagnose themselves and start stretching their feet, rolling them on frozen water bottles, etc. The fascia that is on the underside of your foot actually spirals around your entire leg and connects to the fascia in your lower back.

This is why just stretching the calves rarely solves the problem. The fascia of the entire back of your leg needs to be worked on.  Patient frequently complain of pain when they first get out of bed in the morning or after they have been sedentary for a while.The key to successfully treating this condition, is to let us look at your feet as soon as you start experiencing symptoms.
