If you wake up in the morning and feel a sharp, stabbing pain in your heel as you take your first steps, you’re not alone. That classic “first-step pain” is one of the tell-tale signs of plantar fasciitis—a common but frustrating foot condition that can affect anyone, from runners and fitness enthusiasts to people who spend long hours on their feet at work.

At UK Podiatry, we understand just how disruptive heel pain can be. Whether it’s stopping you from enjoying your daily walks, exercising, or even moving comfortably around your home, plantar fasciitis can take a toll on your wellbeing. The good news? You don’t have to live with the pain. Our expert podiatrists are here to help you get back on your feet—comfortably and confidently.

What Is PlantarFasciitis?

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia—the thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your toes—becomes irritated or inflamed. This inflammation is often caused by:

• Overuse or repetitive strain (common in runners and walkers)
• Poor footwear or lack of arch support
• Standing for long periods on hard surfaces
• Tight calf muscles or biomechanical issues

The result? Persistent heel pain that’s often worst in the morning or after periods of rest.
