Exercises for Plantar fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is a foot disorder usually felt as pain in the bottom of your foot around the heel. There are about 2 million new patients of this condition reported every year in the USA only. That pain is felt especially when taking the first steps in the morning or after spending some time sitting. This pain is caused by an injury of the fascia band at the bottom of the foot. This tissue is called the plantar fascia and it connects the heel bone to the toes. Mostly this injury is caused by overuse of the foot. Plantar fasciitis remission time can be lengthy because the overloading in the foot is part of the patient's daily routine and the foot gets injured frequently.
The foot is a quite unique mechanical structure. Each foot is assembled from 26 bones, 33 joints, more than a 100 muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves. The human foot mechanism is even more sophisticated which is changing in every person. The plantar fascia ligament part in the foot mechanism is to keep the foot longitudinal arch structure. It operates almost like a bow string. But this structure is actually kept also by the other components of the foot particularly the foot's small muscles. If you exercise your feet this whole structure will get stronger. Stronger foot muscles can assist the plantar fascia keeping it from another injury. Stronger feet can do the difference between a chronic heel pain and a treatable foot problem
.
There are plenty different plantar fasciitis treatments, but there is no one treatment that works for all. Treatment techniques can become simple, like applying ice on the foot, or very sophisticated like surgery. The most common and successful treatment is exercise.
