Inflammation to the ligament, under the sole of your foot, which connects your toes to your heel can result in a painful foot injury that is known as plantar fasciitis. In this condition, the arch of the foot and the heel can both be affected by the ligament inflammation, and although it can often resolve by itself, some people struggle with it for longer periods. If you have been diagnosed with this condition and are seeking treatment, Swan Podiatry can suggest some simple exercises to help you.
