PLANTAR FASCIITIS is the most common foot problem and one of the
hardest to overcome. The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous tissue that
attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus) and spans across the bottom of the
foot and arch and attaches to the back of the toes. It acts like a bowstring
to maintain the arch of the foot.
