About Plantar Fasciitis Recovery
A free UK information resource powered by Health Hub Academy.
What this site is
Plantar Fasciitis Recovery is a free information resource for people in the United Kingdom who are suffering from plantar fasciitis — the most common cause of persistent heel pain in UK adults. Our aim is to make trustworthy, evidence-based information about diagnosis, self-care, exercises and NHS treatment options easy to find and easy to understand.
Every guide, exercise programme and downloadable resource on this site is based on published clinical guidance from NHS Trusts, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR Evidence), and NICE Clinical Knowledge Summaries (CKS). We do not invent treatment advice — we summarise and present what the NHS and UK clinical bodies already publish, in plain English.
