Our Mission
PlantarCare was created to provide accessible, evidence-based educational resources for people dealing with plantar fasciitis and heel pain. We focus on serving active individuals - athletes, runners, and workers who depend on their feet every day.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge about recovery strategies, strengthening exercises, and prevention techniques so you can make informed decisions about your foot health journey.
What We Provide
PlantarCare offers:
- Educational Articles: Well-researched content about plantar fasciitis recovery, prevention, and management strategies
- Exercise Guides: Information about strengthening and stretching exercises commonly recommended for plantar pain
- Practical Tips: Guidance on footwear selection, workplace modifications, and activity modifications
- Return-to-Activity Protocols: Frameworks for gradually resuming running, sports, and high-impact activities
💡 Important to Know
PlantarCare is an educational resource, not a medical service. We do not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. All content is for informational purposes only and should never replace consultation with qualified healthcare professionals.
Who This Site is For
Our content is designed for:
- Runners dealing with plantar pain who want to understand return-to-running protocols
- Athletes seeking information about maintaining fitness during recovery
- Active Workers who spend long hours on their feet and need workplace strategies
- Anyone interested in learning about plantar fasciitis prevention and recovery
Our Approach
We believe in:
- Evidence-Based Information: Our content draws from research, clinical guidelines, and established rehabilitation protocols
- Clear Boundaries: We're transparent about what we are (educational) and what we're not (medical advice)
- Empowerment: Providing knowledge that helps you have informed conversations with your healthcare providers
- Accessibility: Making complex information understandable without overwhelming medical jargon
⚠️ When to Seek Professional Help
While education is valuable, plantar fasciitis should be evaluated by qualified healthcare professionals. Seek professional care if you're experiencing foot pain, before starting any exercise program, or if you have questions about your specific situation.
