The Plantar Fascia

The plantar fascia is a supportive band of tough, inelastic fibrous tissue connecting the heel bone (calcaneus) and toes (metatarsals). Fascia is a strong, sinuous tissue; it is not a ligament, tendon or muscle.

Plantar fascia pain is caused by micro-fibre tears in the fascia.

The Symptoms

  • Sharp, intense pain in the plantar fascia when taking your first steps in the morning

  • Pain can reduce as the day progresses, but then increases again in the afternoon or evening

  • Pain worsens when walking barefoot or wearing soft, flat, or cushioned shoes

  • Increased pain after strenuous activities like walking (bushwalking, beach walks, hiking), working or playing sport

  • Acute pain after long periods of rest or inactivity

The Cause

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most misunderstood and poorly treated foot ailment in medical history. Current medical opinion still promotes lifestyle factors such as age, weight, exercise, time on feet, poor footwear and hard surfaces as the cause. These are NOT the cause; they are contributing factors. After years of research and 1000’s of assessments, our specialist bio-mechanists discovered the primary source of stress on the plantar fascia proved to be a deviation inward of the heel bone on ground strike. As the heel rolls in, joints in the foot structure unlock, reducing the arch’s ability to support bodyweight. Over time, this excessive strain on the fascia causes inflammation and micro-fibre tears.

The Cure

Treating and Curing Plantar fasciitis are not the same thing.

Treating addresses symptoms. To cure Plantar fasciitis, you need to remove the source. This starts by avoiding the commonly recommended symptomatic treatments listed below. There is no medical evidence of any long-term benefits, and in many cases, it can make it worse.

  • Rolling feet over ice bottles or cans

  • Calf muscle step stretches

  • Massaging the arch

  • Arch support orthotics

  • Pulling toes back

  • Soft flexible shoes

  • Shockwave therapy

  • Cortisone injections

No rolling feet over ice bottle
No calf muscle step stretches
No arch support orthotics

No Shockwave therapy
No cortisone injections

Recognising in 90% of cases the source of Plantar fasciitis is the aforementioned heel deviation, we developed and engineered a unique heel-based Insole specifically for Plantar fasciitis and Achilles pain, creating the Inverted Calcaneus Device (ICD), or “Kraedl”. See FAQ’s for more information on the Kraedl.

Instead of lifting the arch (which can actually aggravate the plantar fascia by pushing up into it) Kraedl insoles restrict the excessive inward rolling motion, reducing tension and strain on the Plantar Fascia and allowing it to repair. Kraedls are comfortable, light, semi-flexible, self-moulding EVA foam.

Combining our comprehensive Daily Routine Program with Kraedl support, we created the unique “Kraedl Treatment Plan”. This program addresses all aspects of the healing process, including lifestyle, workplace, exercise and time on feet. This strict program will reduce inflammation pain and allow the torn fibres to repair and strengthen.

With our help, you can self-manage and cure this intense, frustrating ailment and prevent recurrence. The Kraedl Treatment Plan is designed to provide a permanent cure.

Each Kraedl Insole is personalised to the specific details provided when you order the Kraedl Treatment Plan.

  • So happy with treatment the pain is starting to ease and no where as bad as it was . Hoping at this rate to be pain free in a few weeks.

    K Bulmer

  • "I had extremely painful plantar fasciitis for about 6 weeks and wore the Kraedl insoles for about 10 days and hey presto, it's mostly all better ! If it starts to flare up again I wear the insoles for a few hours a day for a couple of days."

    H Memery

  • "Following the advice from the wonderful consultant - I don't have much pain. I am so pleased that I am able to manage the condition"

    N Sultana

  • "The supports definitely realign your posture which decreases pressure on the feet. This lowers and assists in managing pain levels"

    K Harris

  • "I injured my foot in late Feb, been in pain ever since. I contacted PF online and Bill phoned me the next day, he told me things about my foot that l didn’t know even about severs that I had as a kid. I ordered the kraedle and followed the plan. I used it for 12 days straight in my my work boots, took a break for a few days and used it again for another five days. I am now pain free and walking normally. BUT! You have to be diligent and tolerant as it is not the most comfortable insert to wear but it works well. Bill you are a legend thanks for you support."

    V Riordon

  • "The pain has decreased particularly when I go to bed at night. Before wearing the insoles and the program I would have pain in bed at night I don’t have this now but I still have some pain during the day when I walk I will persevere with the program."

    N Stanley

  • "I think I am on the right track. The Kraedls have definitely made a difference. They still hurt my heels a bit during the day, but it is way better than the PF pain. Each day seems to be improving. I still walk and stand a lot so cannot expect an instant miracle."

    V Sharpe

  • "So far been great have done a couple of 2k works and been great"

    G Ellis
