It normally feels like a stabbing pain most notably as you first step out of bed in the morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;As you get moving the pain often dissipates but may return after long periods of standing or when you stand up after long periods of sitting.&nbsp;It can feel worse after exercise but may not be noticeable during a workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In today\u2019s episode of the Willpower Not Required Podcast, I will be talking about plantar fasciitis, the common causes and some stretches to improve or prevent it.\u00a0\u00a0This is for informational purposes only.\u00a0It is important to first speak with your health care provider if you are experiencing any type of pain.\u00a0 Do not attempt to diagnose or treat yourself. Pain is the way your body communicates with you. It is telling you that something isn\u2019t right&#8230;don\u2019t ignore it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch the podcast or continue reading below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tip #74 - Protect Your Plantar Fascia\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oD_KnFoyQ80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>What is Plantar Fasciitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot.&nbsp;It connects your heel to the base of your toes and acts like a shock absorbing bow string in the arch of the foot. If too much tension is placed on the plantar fascia, over time it can become irritated or inflamed resulting in heel pain known as Plantar Fasciitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If left untreated, chronic irritation can cause a heel spur -a bony protrusion on the underside of the heel bone. In addition, if you find yourself changing the way you walk in order to reduce the pain, it can lead to foot, knee, hip or back problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Risk Factors for Plantar Fasciitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Plantar fasciitis can develop without an obvious cause, however there are some factors that can increase your risk such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Poor foot mechanics<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Flat feet or high arches can cause abnormal weight distribution putting strain on the plantar fascia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">High Heels<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p> Wearing heels too often can cause the Achilles Tendon (the tissue that connects the calf muscle to the heel bone) to shorten and place tension on the plantar fascia. <br>Speaking of the Calf Muscle &#8211; tight calves pull on the Achilles Tendon which in turn pulls on the plantar fascia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Overuse Activities<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Overuse activities, like distance running, dancing or jobs that require long periods of standing put more stress on the feet and without proper flexibility and mobility training can lead to plantar fasciitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Exercises for Plantar Fasciitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercises that focus on stretching the muscles in the lower leg and reducing tension in the Achilles Tendon and plantar fascia can help to prevent or improve plantar fasciitis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, strengthening the muscles in the foot as well as around the ankle and in the lower leg will help support the foot and take undue pressure off the tendons and ligaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following exercises may be helpful, however please consult your health care provider before attempting any new exercises.&nbsp; Stop performing the exercises if pain does not improve or gets worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4><span class=\"has-inline-color has-luminous-vivid-orange-color\">Calf Stretches<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Stretch the muscles that make up the calf (the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"579\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Calf-Stretches.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Calf-Stretches.png 579w, https:\/\/firedupfitness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Calf-Stretches-300x122.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Soleus Stretch<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Stand facing a wall with both knees bent, toes forward.<\/li><li>Stagger your stance so one leg is closer to the wall.
