Introduction
Plantar Fasciitis is a common condition affecting the feet, causing pain and discomfort in the heel and bottom of the foot. It is caused by the inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs from the heel to the toes. Physio Active, a leading physiotherapy clinic, provides top-notch treatment to help individuals manage and recover from Plantar Fasciitis.
