Sponsor's own description
Many patients suffer from chronic heel pain, and studies have not yet found the most appropriate treatment. There are some researchers who claim that the pain is caused by weakness in the muscles of the foot, which causes increased pressure in the heel. In walking, the muscles of the foot are activated and strengthened. No research has yet been done on whether walking (barefoot or with shoes) on a treadmill reduces pain in the heel and improves function.
