The plantar fascia is a thick layer of fascia tissue that covers the toes to the
heel and supports the arches of people’s feet. It’s like a human shock absorber that
absorbs the top-down pressure of the body’s weight and the impact of the weight
on the foot. However, walking or exercising too much would lead to plantar
fasciitis. A 52-year-old female office worker had severe heel pain for three years.
Every time she got out of bed or stood up after sitting for too long, she would feel
uncomfortable. Therefore, she came to the clinic on August 20th, 2019. Through
the “quadrant pain detection method”, the symptoms were diagnosed that the
tibialis anterior muscle was tight. After two months of treatment, the patient was
fully cured.
