"You step out of bed and-there it is. That sharp, needling sting at the bottom of your heel or along your inner arch, as if your foot has forgotten how to bear weight overnight. A few minutes of hobbling later, the sensation eases...until you sit for a while and stand again, or push through a long walk or run. For some people, foot pain is a result of plantar fasciitis, a condition in which the fascia along the soles of the feet becomes inflamed."
"Common Triggers of Foot Pain Anyone can experience foot pain, although midlife tends to be a perfect storm-not because your body is "declining," but because life gets busy and movement patterns become limited. Hard Floors and Barefoot Living Tile, wood, and concrete are unforgiving. If you're spending time barefoot at home (or in unsupportive shoes) without gradually building foot strength, the arch can feel the strain."
Foot pain commonly presents as a sharp sting in the heel or inner arch, often worst on first steps after rest and recurring after sitting or prolonged activity. Plantar fasciitis causes inflammation of the fascia along the sole, and everyday wear, unsupportive shoes, hard floors, sudden increases in mileage, tight calves, limited ankle mobility, and hip or glute weakness all contribute. These factors increase strain on the arch and plantar fascia. Addressing mobility of the ankle and calves, improving hip and glute strength, using supportive footwear, and progressing activity gradually alongside targeted foot stretches can reduce pain and improve resilience.
