How do physical therapists treat acute plantar fasciitis using eccentric stretching?
My heel feels like it is tearing every morning when I step out of bed. How does specific load stretching repair the bottom of the foot?

Plantar fasciitis is the micro-tearing and inflammation of the foot arch ligament. Eccentric stretching involves slowly lowering the heel off a step under body weight. This controlled lengthening under tension forces the collagen fibers in the ligament to realign and rebuild stronger without re-tearing.
