In this Episode with Dr Henrik Riel we discuss the terminology of “plantar fasciitis” and “plantar fasciopathy”. We also discuss whether there is inflammation involved in “plantar fasciitis”, whether it matters and the impact this should have on our recommended treatment for our patients.

Dr Henrik Riel, PhD, is a physiotherapist, postdoctoral researcher at Aalborg University, Denmark, and lecturer at the Physiotherapy Department at the University College of Northern Denmark, Aalborg, Denmark.
