Plantar Fasciitis is the inflammation of the fascia, which are thick connective tissue attached at the front of the heel running along the arch of the foot and branching out to attach behind the ball of the foot. When there is overuse of the fascia due to impact caused by increased activity during the day such as, sports, weight gain, and walking on hard flooring, the fascia strains and becomes inflamed.
