Plantar Fascia - what is it, what does it do and what makes it painful?

The plantar fascia is a thick layer of tissue stretching from the calcaneus (heel bone) to the toes. It is in three segments:

Central portion: the most important. A thick portion of tissue running down the middle of the foot from the heel to the toes, forming the longitudinal arch of the foot.
Medial portion (inside of the foot).
Lateral portion (outside of foot).
