A member asked:
I have been less active since studying for school. calves and thighs became weaker. could my weak legs be the cause of my plantarfaciitis/foot pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plantar Fascia: To answer your question, consider the anatomy of the plantar fascia, which stretches across your foot. Studies show it works with the Achilles' tendon to store and release energy while running. See sports med MD to evaluate whether calf tenderness, fallen foot arches or FDP muscle tightness contribute. Roll out your PF with a golf ball and stretch your calves, consider a night brace/phys therapy.
