The plantar fascia is a thick, fibrous band of connective tissue. It begins at the bottom of the heel bone, called the calcaneus. Specifically, it originates from the medial calcaneal tubercle and extends forward along the sole of the foot. As it progresses, it fans out toward the base of the toes. This tissue plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the foot’s arch. It acts as a passive stabiliser, helping to limit excessive flattening of the arch during weightbearing activities.
