Symptoms

 Heel pain, usually in young physically active individuals, which is:

• Gradual in onset, and worse on
• exercise, especially running or jumping.
• Relieved by rest.
• Often bilateral.

Repeated activity leads to a small injury where the calf muscle tendon attaches to the heel bone.

Stretches as shown below – 30sec x 2 daily.

If pain continues at the same level, we may use shoe inserts.
