Understanding Plantar Fasciitis: Causes and Symptoms

Say Goodbye to Heel Pain:

Are you waking up with stabbing pain in your heel? Does standing for long periods or walking cause discomfort in the sole of your foot? If so, you may be suffering from Plantar Fasciitis—a common but painful condition that affects thousands of people in the UK each year.

At John The Footman, we specialise in diagnosing and treating Plantar Fasciitis, helping clients across Farnborough and the surrounding areas find lasting relief from heel pain.

What Is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. When this tissue becomes irritated or overstretched, it can lead to sharp, persistent pain in the heel and arch of the foot.

Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp heel pain, especially with your first steps in the morning
  • Discomfort after standing or walking for extended periods
  • A burning or aching sensation in the arch of the foot
  • Stiffness that eases with movement but returns after rest

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore It

While some people try to “walk it off,” ignoring the symptoms can lead to chronic pain and long-term damage. Plantar Fasciitis can impact your work, exercise routine, and overall quality of life.

The good news? It’s highly treatable with the right care.

How John the Footman Can Help?

With over 40 years of clinical experience, we provide a thorough, hands-on approach to treating Plantar Fasciitis. Our personalised treatment plans are designed to target the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

  • In-depth foot assessments and gait analysis
  • Custom orthotic insoles for improved support
  • Advice on footwear and posture
  • Stretching techniques and soft tissue therapy
  • Ongoing support to prevent recurrence
