Symptom 1

Select symptom
  • A poorly localized ache in the midfoot, particularly under the inside arch.
  • Worsened or brought on by running.
  • Pain goes away quickly with rest only to return again during exercise.
  • Tenderness over the navicular bone (at the highest point of the inside arch of the foot).
  • A navicular sprain can be caused by a change in training methods or running terrain, particularly hill running, overuse, significant flat foot, or running in shoes that are not supportive enough against excessive pronation (rolling in of the heel).

Symptom 2

Select symptom
  • Sharp or dull pain radiating into the arch of the foot/heel/toes.
  • Tingling, numbness, burning, or electric shock feeling on the inside of the ankle or the sole of the foot.
  • Pain with prolonged standing.
  • Pain when running.
  • Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is commonly caused by tight shoes or fallen arches.

Symptom 3

Select symptom
  • Pain and tenderness on the underside of the heel, often about 4cm forward from the heel, although it can be anywhere along the inside arch of the foot.
  • Pain is often worse first thing in the morning, described as ‘walking on broken glass’.
  • As foot warms up, pain eases, but can worsen later in the day, especially if you are walking a lot.
  • Often worsens during a run, or worsens after the run (sometimes the next day).
  • Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by sudden increases in running intensity, duration or frequency, wearing the wrong running shoes (or work shoes with poor cushioning), running overweight, and tightness of the calves and achilles tendon.
