Fascia Soles Deep

Physiology of the deep plantar fascia

FPG (fascia plantar deep) is the connecting element of the bones of the ankle joint and is used to support and fix the foot in an anatomical position. It provides good cushioning, force transfer and stability while walking and running. Impaired function of the plantar fascia can lead to various problems such as calf muscle spasms, strains and poor quality of life.

Anatomy of the fascia The deep plantar fascia is located behind the soft tissues of the lower leg and limits the articular sac of the fascia of the heel protrusion - the anterior part of the fascia is connected to the skin of the sole, the posterior part is connected to the periosteum of the calcaneus, the lateral part is connected to the calcaneal tubercle, and the medial part is connected to the capsule of the ankle joint. The main function of the plantar complex fascia is to strengthen the tendons and ligaments of the muscles and support the correct position of the ankle joints.

Causes of violations of the deep plantar fascia * Injuries (concussion, sprain, bruise, dislocation) or surgical operations in the foot area * Physical overload (prolonged walking in high heels) * Excess weight (increased load on the ankles, spasm of the ankle muscles) * Age-related changes in the body, associated with a decrease in tissue elasticity.

***Symptoms of fascial disorders***

* painful sensations when walking and running * when contracting the muscles of the lower leg, sole and back of the calves * calf cramps * difficulty jumping in the water * swelling and decreased motor activity. Prevention and treatment of deep plantar fascia As a preventive measure, it is worth using exercises to strengthen the muscles of the sole and calf muscles. If you experience symptoms of problems with the plantar fascia, you should consult a podiatrist or physical therapist. He will conduct diagnostics that will identify the cause of the disorders and prescribe the correct treatment. Treatment may include stretching and strengthening of muscles, wearing special insoles or orthotics, physical therapy, and adjustments to exercise and diet if necessary. Massage and moderate exercise, such as swimming in a pool and walking in cushioned shoes, may also be recommended. Remember that prevention is much simpler and more effective than long-term treatment for advanced forms of fascia disorders of the deep soles.



This deep fascia of the soles is part of the foot fascia, a fascial layer that provides attachment to the muscles and bones of the feet to the soles. The deep fascia of the soles extends from the bottom of the shin to the toes and supports many muscles such as the foot, toe, heel and calf muscles. It also plays an important role in stabilizing the foot and shaping its shape.

The formation of the deep plantar fascia began in embryonic development. It is a network of connective tissue elements that connect adjacent fascial layers. Over time and under the influence of loads and movements, it becomes denser and more elastic and performs its functions much better. The deep layer consists of connective tissue, which consists of many collagen and elastin fibers
