• Try ice/cold. This can be done with placing foot on an icepack (frozen pack wrapped in damp t-towel) or try rolling a bottle of frozen water/or a cold tin under the foot

• Typically heel pain, but this pain can extend across the whole foot
• Very often the first few steps on arising in the morning are very painful. This pain is also seen if you have been sat for a while
• The pain often eases once you “get going”
• Symptoms are often aggravated by high impact sport and activity or following long periods of standing

• One of the most common seen conditions affecting the foot is known as Plantar Fasciitis.
• The Plantar Fascia is a band of tissue that supports the arches of the foot and runs from the heel to the fore foot
• If it becomes strained and inflamed it can be very painful and debilitating
