ANATOMY
Your plantar fascia is a web-like band of connective tissue on the bottom of your foot. Unlike other connective tissues like tendons and ligaments, fascia is highly innervated, highly vascularized, and loaded with sensory neurons called mechanosensors. The good news is that because of its blood supply, it can heal quickly.
