Understanding Plantar Fasciitis in today's busy world full of too much information. Foot pain can be caused by many different things. Falls, sports injuries, bad shoes, improper training methods, overutilization, and even underutilization. All of these can contribute to the painful condition known as plantar fasciitis. Runners usually are the victims and overutilization is the primary cause. Good news is that with proper fitting running shoes many can be helped dramatically. Something as simple as changing running shoes can stop plantar fasciitis pain dead in its' tracks. The advice of a running shoe store salesman is valuable. You run because you like it or maybe even need it. Taking the cheaper way out does not always add up wisely.

The tissue on the bottom of your foot ( plantar surface) gets tight. This tends to happen when the calf muscles pull on your heel. The tissue is thin and loaded with nerves that let you know there is a serious problem. Advil or Aleve may not do the trick here. Pain that won't go away should not be ignored especially if you want to run without pain. Here is another wild idea to get some rest between runs. Your body can do better with adequate rest. Give your feet a break every now and then.

Did you ever wonder who gets plantar fasciitis? It is not just runners anymore. Many athletes get it. An imbalance in the lower extremity usually is the cause.Then when your body can no longer take it the foot flairs up and your troubles begin. Where do you turn to when the pain gets in your way and prevents you from being as active as you would like to be?
There are somethings you can do at home to lessen the chance of getting plantar fasciitis. You can begin by stretching before and after a run. This just makes sense. There is no excuse for not properly stretching. If you enjoy running then put the time in to make running more enjoyable. All you have to do is go on Youtube and look up running stretches. Watch and learn, then do.
