Fig 1.1: Longitudinal Arch Tension Map

Understanding Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis happens when the tissue along the bottom of your foot becomes strained from repeated stress. This can lead to heel pain, tightness, and discomfort—especially with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of standing. The plantar fascia supports your arch and helps absorb impact with every step. When it’s overworked, it can become irritated, making everyday movement more

Targeted support and compression can help reduce strain on the foot, support the arch, and improve comfort throughout the day.
