Walking, running, and jumping put a lot of pressure on the feet. Although the feet can take a lot of force, the pressure can take its toll and heel pain can develop.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, running causes an impact around three times a person's weight.
Heel pain can occur due to a few different reasons, but one of the most common causes is plantar fasciitis.
