Weight Management
for Plantar Fasciitis
Reducing excess body weight to decrease the mechanical load on the plantar fascia during standing and walking.
How it works
Each kilogram of body weight adds approximately 1.25kg of force on the plantar fascia during walking. Weight reduction directly reduces the mechanical stress that perpetuates inflammation.
What to watch for
Low-impact exercise such as swimming or cycling can support weight management without aggravating plantar fasciitis.
