Have you ever wondered what causes sharp, shooting pain in your feet, especially first thing in the morning? You may have plantar fasciitis which is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It can be caused by ill-fitting footwear, general daily activity, age, foot mechanics and general weakness through out the lower body. If you have this type of pain a physiotherapist can help you, by assessing your movement and determining the cause of the pain. From there a treatment and exercise program can be prescribed based on your needs.
