What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is inflammation of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the foot. It is an over use injury causing heel pain which may radiate forward into the foot. Plantar fasciitis can also be know as a heel spur although they are not strictly the same. A heel spur is a bony growth that occurs at the attachment of the plantar fascia to the heel bone (calcaneus). A heel spur can occur (with repetitive pulling of the plantar fascia) on a foot with no symptoms at all and a painful heel can have no heel spur present

Hmmm have to ask Dr Ray, to simplified the above in a layman term ..
This injury is common to runners, so if u were to have it, get a golf ball and roll over it while you sitting down. Its works ...
