What is plantar Fascia? The foot is made up of 26 bones, with many strong tissues holding them together. The plantar fascia is a thick tissue that connects the heel bone (calcaneus) to the base of the toes on the bottom of the foot, looks like a series of fat rubber bands. The plantar fascia supports the arch of the foot and becomes stretched or tensed when we step on the ground or move foot off the ground.

During the Treatment: While you are recovering from plantar fasciitis, you may need to change your activities and complete a home program that your physical therapist creates for you. Chronic plantar fasciitis, if left untreated, can lead to changes in the way a person walks, possibly resulting in pain in other joints such as the knee or the back.
