Abstract

In brief: Recreational runners are prone to a variety of lower extremity injuries; one of the most common is pain in the heel and sole of the foot. Among the most frequent problems are plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and calcaneal stress fractures. Management may be challenging, since an underlying biomechanical problem often must be corrected in addition to treatment of symptoms. The authors describe the signs, symptoms, and management of heel pain and include several exercises to prevent it.
