A sharp heel in the morning.
A tight arch after sitting.
Burning or soreness by the end of the day.
You stretch.
You buy inserts.
You try to support it.
It improves… then comes back.
Because the real issue isn’t just wear and tear.
Daily stress triggers inflammation.
Inflammation slows recovery.
Slower recovery leaves tissue irritated.
Irritated tissue becomes more sensitive.
And the cycle repeats.
If recovery can’t keep up, discomfort never fully resolves.
