How much the sole of my foot hurts!
Have you ever woken up one morning and felt a very strong pain in the sole of your foot or heel when you touch the ground, which gradually diminishes over the course of the day?
If this is your case let's go into more detail if you might have plantar fasciitis, and as the physiotherapy can help you.
Very briefly, plantar fasciitis is a thick band we haveas the word itself says, on the sole of the foot. This band goes from the heel to the beginning of the toes and is the one that provides the cushioning for our constant movement forming a bridge-shaped curvature under the foot, suitable for supporting the load of our body constantly.
This band can be affected by several factors:
- For a overstretching or by stretching incorrectly.
- For a overuseThis is the case for sportsmen and women who continually put pressure on their fasciae during training and competition.
- Either by a predisposition Either because of a bad footing or because the bridge of the foot is excessive (cavus foot) or deficient (flat foot), in both cases the bridge of the foot is altered, so that the band constantly suffers tension and a lot of load when walking, which leads to inflammation and with it a strong pain when moving, as there is no good footing base.
A good physiotherapeutic treatment The best option for this type of problem is time, since theysiotherapy acts before the pain arrives, helping to preventThe guidelines (both for athletes and if your problem is a plantar bridge) for movement and footwear and alleviating the symptoms once the pain and inflammation are already there.
