Should You Roll Out Pain: Plantar Fasciitis and the Safety of Self-Massage
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition causing heel and foot pain due to inflammation of the plantar fascia. Symptoms include stabbing or burning pain, especially in the morning. Massaging the affected area may help reduce pain and inflammation, although limited research supports its effectiveness. Contributing factors include overuse, poor foot mechanics, and obesity, making some individuals more prone to developing the condition. Understanding symptoms, causes, and potential treatments is essential for effective management of plantar fasciitis.
