Hey there, fellow foot warriors! Are you dealing with those awful first-morning steps that feel like stepping on hot coals? Ugh, we’ve been there too! Plantar fasciitis is the culprit behind that pesky heel pain that just won’t quit. But fret not, because Tooronga Podiatry Clinic is here to save the day and help you kick plantar fasciitis to the curb!

What's Up with Plantar Fasciitis?
Alright, so picture this – there’s this thick band of tissue, called the plantar fascia, connecting your heel to your toes. When that bad boy gets inflamed or irritated, voilà, you’ve got plantar fasciitis! It’s like a ninja heel pain that attacks when you least expect it, especially during your morning zombie walk or after chilling on the couch for a bit. Sneaky, huh? Plantar fasciitis loves hanging out with athletes, folks who stand or walk all day, and those with unique foot arches. But no worries, we’ve got your back (or rather, your feet)!
The Villains Behind Plantar Fasciitis
Oh, the causes! Too much stress on your feet, like overdoing those long walks or running like the wind, can lead to this heel chaos. And guess what? Tight calf muscles and wearing shoes without proper arch support join the villain squad too. Oh, and don’t forget our arch-enemy, obesity! Yep, it’s a sneaky one that can put extra strain on that poor plantar fascia. Those ill-fitting shoes? They can be the ultimate troublemakers too. So let’s get ready to face these villains head-on!
