Plantar Fasciitis is characterized by pain and inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is a thick band of connective tissue running along the bottom of our foot, connecting to our heel and our toes.

A high ankle sprain is stretching of the ligament in front of the ankle which holds our two leg bones- fibula and tibia together above our ankle joint. High ankle sprain is caused by rolling over the front of our foot (toes in the ground) this places more pressure on the front of our ankle, unlike the usual lateral ankle sprain where we roll on the outside of our ankle.
