Although the pain is often felt at the heel, plantar fasciitis rarely starts as an isolated heel problem. It usually arises from a combination of factors affecting the whole lower leg and foot.
Common contributors include:
Tight calf muscles and a stiff Achilles tendon
Reduced ankle mobility
Sudden increases in walking, running, or standing time
Hard or unforgiving surfaces underfoot
Footwear that does not match the person's needs
The plantar fascia becomes the tissue that complains, but the origin of the problem is often higher up the chain.
