@atrium.med.nyc: That stabbing pain with your first few steps in the morning? 👣 Your plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. When it gets irritated and overloaded, plantar fasciitis can make the heel feel brutal, especially after rest. The good news: most cases improve with the right combination of stretching, footwear, activity changes and time. #PlantarFasciitis #FootPain #HeelPain #SportsMedicine #PrimaryCare
