Plantar Fasciitis

There are several physical factors that can contribute to the development of plantar fasciitis:

• Tight calves can increase tension on the plantar fascia
• altered foot function, such as excessively flat or high arches
• Lack of big toe extension or upward movement of the big toe
• Tight hip flexors and reduced gluteal and hamstring strength can also lead to increased workload on the calves and plantar fascia, predisposing to overload and injury.
  
  Non-biomechanical factors such as improper running technique, worn-out or improper running shoes, and increasing mileage too quickly can also play a role in the development of plantar fasciitis. If you suspect that any of these non-biomechanical factors may be an issue, it is recommended to consult with a running store or coach for proper guidance.
