Combatting Plantar Fasciitis With Remind Insoles

First and foremost: What even is plantar fasciitis and why should you care? It’s a fair question with some fair answers. We’ll just say, if you skate—you should care. If you snowboard—you should care. If you do anything active that involves your feet and the wear and tear that often comes along with it—you should care. 

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It can be an irritating and debilitating condition, causing inflammation of the tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes, (also known as the plantar fascia, hence the name). We learn something new every day.

These days, this injury is becoming incredibly common due to the weakening of the bottom of the foot in modern society, which basically stems from neglect; wearing insoles and shoes that lack support, not having a daily routine that "wakes up" the muscles on the bottom of the foot, or often, simply from overuse. The common neglect of our feet—the two things that literally carry us through our days—is pretty mind blowing at its root. Year after year, millions of people suffer from plantar fasciitis, but we’re here to make sure you don’t get bunched in that group.
