Back on the Run: Recovering from Plantar Fasciitis

Written by a sports physiotherapist who specialises in runners' feet and lower-limb injuries.

Most advice for plantar fasciitis stops at "rest and see how it feels." This guide gives you the actual plan: a graded, phase-by-phase return-to-running protocol used in sports physio clinics, in plain language.

Inside you'll get:

• A clear self-check to confirm this guide is right for your symptoms
• - Red flags that mean you should see a professional first
• - A simple pain-monitoring rule so you always know if you're doing too much
• - Phase-by-phase exercises with sets, reps, and progression criteria
• - A sample walk-run progression back to full training
• - Common mistakes that stall recovery (and how to avoid them)
• - Links to guided video classes to follow along

This is the same framework used with runners in clinic, designed for people who want to understand the "why," not just follow a list.

This guide is educational, not a replacement for individual assessment. Red flag guidance is included throughout so you know when to see someone in person.
