"No plantar fasciitis" means that the person does not have a common condition that causes heel pain. This condition usually results from strain or injury to the plantar fascia, which is a band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. When this tissue is damaged, it can cause a lot of discomfort, especially when walking or standing.
