15 year old? : A 15 year old typically will have calcaneal apophysitis before plantar fasciitis as she may still have growth plates open. Unlike adults, her plantar fascia may not be as tight and she may be able to stretch farther than adults. Try off-loading her heels with custom inserts. If this is an update to a previous question, please list out the medical history. Good luck.
