Activities that involve prolonged standing, walking, running, or jumping can place excessive strain on the plantar fascia, leading to irritation and inflammation over time.
Flat feet, high arches, or abnormal walking patterns can alter weight distribution across the foot, increasing stress on the heel and arch.
Shoes that lack proper arch support, cushioning, or shock absorption—such as worn-out trainers or unsupportive everyday footwear—can worsen strain on the plantar fascia.
Increased body weight places additional pressure on the feet, raising the risk of plantar fascia inflammation, particularly during standing and walking.
