IN THIS LESSON

Where the first step hurts

This lesson reasons about plantar heel and calf foot load, and retests first step pain. Morning heel pain that is worse on the first steps, with calf tightness, points to a load related pattern.

Treat the calf, the plantar fascia surround and the foot intrinsics, then retest the first steps. Choose one honest marker for better, rather than overclaiming the result.
