You may have Plantar Fasciitis If you have stabbing or burning heel pain when taking your first few steps in the morning or after physical activity, you may suffer from a common condition called plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is caused by tightening of the tissue (the plantar fascia) along the bottom of your foot that connects your heel and toes, often occurring while sleeping. The good news is, recent studies have shown that a regimen of isolated stretching of the plantar fascia can help you overcome the chronic pain without surgery or drugs. As always, it’s a good idea to check with your medical professional before starting any exercise program.
