What causes plantar fasciitis

In a discussion featuring physical therapist Jeff Cavaliere, it was mentioned that plantar fasciitis is not typically caused by something mechanical in the foot itself. Instead, it can be related to issues in the glute medius muscle due to postural weaknesses or lack of training. These weaknesses can lead to trigger points and tightness, which affect how you walk and stand, potentially contributing to plantar fasciitis 1. Addressing these weaknesses by strengthening and properly activating the glute medius can help alleviate the problem.
