The plantar fascia is the part of the foot that acts like a shock absorbing bowstring, supporting the arch in your foot. Plantar meaning the bottom side, and fascia is the name of the tissue in this area. Fascia is not muscle, not bone, not cartilage, not ligament, not tendon, it is a tissue all it’s own. This fascia tissue is made up of billions of tiny fibers similar to the fibers in a piece of elastic or Lycra. If the tension on that bowstring (fascia tissue) becomes too great, minute tears can occur creating pain and inflammation. The result is foot pain. Foot pain is no fun.

Putting your best foot forward
Orthotics can be an important component to healthy living.
Where their running shoes are concerned, runners may need to think beyond the blinding myriad of coloured stripes and patterns. It’s no longer just a question of shock-absorbent gel or strategically placed air pockets.
When you’re considering premium footwear to prevent injuries, sports medicine specialists say that orthotic insoles, or “orthotics” – bespoke support for your particular feet – may be the way to go, especially if your problems are connected to the type of foot with which you were born.
Plantar Fasciitis and Custom Support. The only way to go.
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition involving foot pain and tightness, and many plantar fasciitis sufferers seek massage for relief. New research shows using a custom arch support helps manage pain and pain-related disability associated with plantar fasciitis.
