RK Team Fitness, Health, Wellness Academy

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia). We have received many comments and questions regarding PF, foot pain, and questions regarding what you can do to relieve the discomfort. Plantar Fasciitis creates tightness in all of the joints and muscles around the foot, above the foot, and below the foot.
