What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes pain in the heel or bottom of the foot due to inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament, affecting approximately 1 in 10 people across the UK at some point in their lives.
With the right preparation and medical advice, most people with plantar fasciitis continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
How the right policy helps if you have plantar fasciitis:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with a musculoskeletal condition like plantar fasciitis
- Allow extra time for walking distances if plantar fasciitis affects your feet
- Choose accommodation close to key attractions or transport links
- Take regular rest breaks to avoid foot pain or discomfort
- Bring any insoles, braces or supports you normally use for plantar fasciitis
If you have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Read the medical declaration questions carefully so that everything about your plantar fasciitis is included.
Travel insurance is still available if you have plantar fasciitis. The cover offered depends on how the condition affects you and how well it is controlled, and clear, accurate answers in your medical declaration help make sure the right cover is arranged.
