Synopsis

Plantar Fasciitis

A Clear, Evidence-Based Guide to Heel Pain

Heel pain can be confusing, frustrating, and slow to resolve. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes, yet advice online is often contradictory or over-simplified.

This practical, evidence-based guide explains what plantar fasciitis is, why it develops, and how it usually improves, using clear language grounded in real clinical practice. It is written for patients, but trusted by clinicians.

Rather than quick fixes or false promises, this book focuses on understanding load, tissue recovery, footwear, exercise, pacing, and knowing when further assessment may help.

Inside this guide you will find:

• A clear explanation of what plantar fasciitis actually is
• Why heel pain is often worst with the first steps in the morning
• Common triggers, including activity changes, footwear, calf tightness, and body weight
• Simple, evidence-based self-care strategies that work when done consistently
• A realistic six-week plan to guide recovery
• When imaging, injections, shockwave therapy, or surgery may be considered
• How to reduce the risk of recurrence and protect long-term foot health

Written by a UK Consultant Podiatric Surgeon, this book reflects the same conversations had every week in clinic with people struggling to recover from heel pain. It is calm, honest, and designed to help readers make sense of their symptoms and take practical next steps with confidence.

This publication is for general information and education only and does not replace individual medical advice.
