Heel pain, most often plantar fasciitis, is that sharp pain under the heel with your first steps in the morning. It is stubborn but very treatable with the right loading program.
The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue along the sole of your foot. Plantar fasciitis is when it becomes irritated where it attaches to the heel, causing sharp pain underneath.
The classic sign is pain with the first few steps in the morning that eases as you walk, then returns after rest. It can linger, but a structured program of loading and calf strengthening reliably settles it.
I settle the irritated tissue, then load it progressively, because the fascia and calf respond best to graded strengthening rather than rest alone.
Adjusting standing and walking so the heel can settle without total rest.
Progressive loading that the fascia needs to recover and tolerate activity.
Soft tissue work for the calf and foot to ease tightness.
Practical guidance on shoes and support for your daily routine.
Treatment moves through clear stages. I set the pace to suit you, but the path usually looks like this.
I confirm the cause and check your calf, foot, and walking.
Reduce irritation with load and activity adjustments.
Progressive calf and foot strengthening to rebuild tolerance.
Graded return to walking, standing, or running.
See a doctor if the heel is hot, red, and swollen, if pain follows a sudden injury with a snapping sensation, or if you have numbness and tingling spreading into the foot.
