Planter Fasciitis is one of the most common foot condition. About 10-12% of people will suffer planter fasciitis once in their lives. It results from inflammation of the planter fascia which is a thick band under the sole running from heel to toes. Planter fascia support the foot arch and absorb shocks during walk or run. Planter Fasciitis can also result from either damage to the planter fascia mechanically or due to overused prolonged walk. Wearing poor fit footwear, high arched feet, over pronated feet and obesity are common causes
Symptoms

A sharp heel pain with difficulty or unable to take first step getting up from bed in the morning or after prolonged sitting. Swelling, numbness and radiating pain may also be associated with planter fasciitis. Insole treatment to help reduce planter fasciitis is very tricky and requires full bio mechanical assessment of feet. Any deformation within feet would require a tailor-made insole design to correct biomechanical problems.
