Listen "From Heel to Hip: Rethinking Plantar Fasciitis Through Whole-Chain Mechanics"
Episode Synopsis
Plantar fasciitis isn’t just a foot problem — it’s a whole-body story. In this episode, we break down what’s really going on when that heel pain shows up and why simply rolling your arch isn’t the long-term fix.We’ll explore how the lower chain works together to create healthy pronation and supination: the ankle bones gliding, the tibia rotating, the knees tracking, and even the hip controlling load from above. When one link in that chain stops doing its job, the plantar fascia pays the price.You’ll learn:• The most common movement blind spots that lead to chronic heel pain• Why gait matters more than footwear• How ankle mobility, hip stability, and midfoot control all influence your arch• My go-to exercises to improve foot mechanics (without spending an hour on the floor)Whether you’re an active weekend warrior, a clinician looking for a fresh perspective, or someone who’s tired of waking up to that first-step pain every morning, this episode will give you a smarter, whole-body approach to healing your feet from the ground up.If you want more tips on movement, recovery, and real biomechanics, connect with me on social:Instagram: @dr.nicoleaddisonHit play and let’s rethink plantar fasciitis for good.
