Do you have heel pain in your first few steps when you get out of bed?

It might be plantar fasciitis!

Plantar fasciitis is inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of your foot. Look out for pain with your first steps in the morning, or while walking or running.

Common causes include poor foot posture, tight calf muscles, and lack of proper footwear support.

If left untreated, this problem can hang around for months and years.

Luckily, there are lots of treatment options available.

The days are getting colder, the mornings darker, and you're starting to snooze your alarm for just one more hour in bed... you're not alone!

But did you know that slowing down may actually be causing your joints to feel stiffer?

Here's our best tips for beating those winter aches and pains:

• Get moving - it seems contradictory, but depending on your level of pain, movement can actually help to limit the pain you are experiencing!

• Get some sun - direct sunlight does wonders for our joints, even in winter!
