Landing with a heel strike when running was found to be the underlying cause of increasing lower leg compartment pressure beyond tolerance, resulting in throbbing lower leg pain, but is fully resolved with forefoot striking.
Heel strike running was found to trigger more abnormal stresses on the foot that transfers up the leg and pries into the knee, causing injury as compared with forefoot running, which was found to engage more precision coordination between the joints of the foot and leg, resulting in significantly less stress production across the body.
There is a right and wrong foot strike pattern. Heel strike running was found to be at the core of the high impact generation responsible for most major injuries, like long bone injuries as compared with forefoot running. This is because landing forefoot-first when running naturally sets in motion a safely positioned shin, knee and upper body angles that leads to silencing major impacts forces and other physical stressors linked to all kinds of injuries.
The impacts uniquely produced in heel strike running are so severe that they actually cause nerve damage, in addition to causing long bone, muscle and tendon injuries as compared with forefoot running, which provides a better mechanical base that produces significantly less forms of all impacts.
Forefoot running is the most important step in preventing plantar fasciitis because landing forefoot-first was found to prevent strain and instantaneous rates of loading from rising to pain-inducing levels on the plantar fascia as compared with heel strike running, which was found to produce the mechanics that makes it possible to keep fueling plantar fasciitis.
