Pickleball is a fun sport combining several elements of different sports: tennis, badminton and ping-pong. According to the executive director of Pickleball Canada, participation in the pickleball game went from 350,000 people across Canada a year ago to over a million now.
Pickleball appeals to an older crowd, and many play under the myth that you can't get hurt playing pickleball. Plantar fasciitis is a common running injury that occurs due to an inflamed plantar fascia.
It's a dense tissue band located in the base of the foot and stretches from the heel to the toes. Runners suffering from the injury usually experience intense pain in their heels.
