It could be plantar fasciitis โ the most common cause of heel pain, affecting around 10% of the population. Waiting it out often makes it worse.

Plantar fasciitis happens when the thick band of tissue along the sole of your foot โ the plantar fascia โ becomes strained and degenerates where it attaches to the heel bone. Despite the name suggesting inflammation, research shows it's actually a degenerative condition, which is why rest alone rarely resolves it.
๐ฆ๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐น๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ:
โ Sharp pain under the heel with your first steps each morning
โ Pain that eases with gentle movement but returns after prolonged standing
โ A deep "stone bruise" sensation at the base of the heel
โ Difficulty with stairs, running, or long walks
The single biggest risk factor is ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐ณ ๐บ๐๐๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ๐ โ limited ankle flexibility increases strain on the plantar fascia by ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ๐. That's why targeted stretching is so important.

"Just had my first physiotherapy session at J&J New Malden with Lavya for my plantar fasciitis. She thoroughly massaged my legs, lower back and ended the session with a shockwave therapy. My foot no longer hurts. Highly recommended." โ Kaye V.
