Heel pain first thing in the morning?
If your first steps feel like walking on pins, it may be plantar fasciitis â and it is treatable with the right plan.
Quick selfâcheck (3 classic signs):
⢠Stabbing heel pain with your first step in the morning
⢠A tender heel base that worsens after standing or walking
⢠It eases briefly after calf/plantar fascia stretches
Why it hangs around:
⢠Tight calves and reduced ankle movement increase load on the fascia
⢠Training spikes, hardâsoled shoes, or prolonged standing on hard floors
⢠Foot mechanics (arch height, alignment) can add strain
What actually helps (nonâsurgical, evidenceâinformed):
⢠A proper physio assessment â handsâon treatment to calm the flare
⢠Targeted rehab and calf/plantar stretches to stop it returning
⢠Add radial shockwave therapy (ESWT) for stubborn cases; ultrasound/TENS when appropriate â all in one place at J&J (assessment â treatment â exercise coaching)
