[@mpasaa]

great simple tips and since having PF issues recently I have learned a great deal about this part of the feet and calf areas....amazing. Will try those early morning tips for stretching prior to exiting bed.

[@fainahbangira985]

Thank you so much you have helped me

[@renosevangelakis]

What if you have to ''rebuild'' yourself/your body from scratch? As i call it, the definition of ''Body architecture'' Based on wheelchair at the beginning, many walking exercises, muscles' strengthening equipment, too many rehabilitation hours per day. Believe in yourself, be active and go on After 10 years of my car accident, I enjoy my "new" self, I appreciate the moment and of course I loved fitness, gym, physiotherapy & calisthenics. Especially how you can control your body. As an architect, I am trying to "build" myself again. Healthier & stronger life. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHOaooauopmbqJI&ab_channel=RenosEvangelakis

One thing I never see mentioned in all of these quick-fix Plantar Fasciitis videos, is the need for the body to be adequately hydrated. Lack of hydration can have an negative effect on the Plantar Fascia ligament. By drinking enough water and staying hydrated you can help reduce the severity of the pain.

[@ThePrehabGuys]

Hydration certainly plays a role in overall health! We can't argue that!

[@luthando13]

Ok

[@HypotheticalZ]

You got cancer? Lol drink water, stay hydrated. Cancer gone. :)

I suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for about two and a half years. Nothing worked to end the pain. An old runner told me to go up one shoe size. I did. It worked. Never had a problem since.

[@cyrilstheone]

@@garypulliam3740 I'm really miffed. I need to exercise to get fit etc. But everytime I start something comes a long to stop me in my tracks ie this. Never felt pain like this. Well so bad trying to hop to easy the pain hurts. Everything bloody hurts 😁 never felt pain like it. Think it came on walking my dog. I'd never have thought walking a dog could do this.

I’m a chef at a casino and I walk on very hard brick tile all day and have been suffering every day with PF. I did your exercises and had immediate relief and I’m no longer limping. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Cwatty]

My plantar fasciitis flared up about 2 months ago and I have been hobbling out of bed ever since. Compression sleeves, heel cups, massage balls, shoe inserts, etc. all gave temporary relief but it would flare back up again the same day. I had just ordered a night splint when I found this video. Today, the second day I tried the stretches, I got out of bed and walked without pain for the first time in months. This video is the cure, and I am so grateful!! Thank you, Doc!🙏🏾

[@texastea5686]

, I had it a few years ago when I was walking a LOT and doing step aerobics. I started working out again and it's flaring up, I'm literally watching this video in bed this evening wearing a night splint! I'm 1 minute into the video..... let's see what info I can gather. Thanks for your comment!

That last exercise was the money shot. Felt it directly on the bottom of my heel where the pain is. I'll start doing this exercise regularly and see how it goes. Thank You. Update: The excercise did help but about 50% of the pain was still there and would get progressively worst if i stopped doing that stretch. I decided to try it another way. Roll up a sock and place it on the edge of a phonebook or anything sturdy enough to hold your weight without tipping over. Be sure the ball of your feet ( the area just after your toes) is firmly on the phonebook with the rolled up sock under your toes. Do the stretch in reverse where your heel is below your toes and the height of the phone book. Bingo, you should feel the muscle stretch directly on the bottom of your heel. Hold the stretch for about 20 seconds. If necessary, place your hands on a table top to help support your weight and I found leaning forward a bit helps. After I started doing it this way the pain is almost completely gone after a couple of days...😁🥳. I believe it is because I am now stretching through a full range of motion. Also do the original stretch where your heel is above your toes. I found that for the original stretch I didn't have to raise my heel much to feel the stretch most effectively, just to where my heel was about an inch above the ball of my feet. It's also important to roll horizontally on the ball of your foot as you stretch. Hope this helps. Try at your own risk or with the supervision of a fitness trainer. Good luck. 2nd Update: The pain would come back after a couple days even with continued stretching. I completely stopped the stretching and decided to try some shoe inserts that would give me arch support. I used the Walk Hero brand. Combining this with massages (VERY important) finally did the trick. After only 2 weeks it's almost completely gone with no relapse of the pain. Even getting out of bed in the morning I sometimes don't feel any pain at all. This is a world away from the crushing pain I used to feel. One funny trick I discovered for massaging is to Firmly roll the bottom of my heel against my inside ankle bone on the opposite foot in a circular motion. Be sure to maintain the initial point of contact as you do the circles. You can also try rolling it against something positioned firmly like the corner edge of a counter or coffee table. This allowed me to do a much deeper and aggressive massage than I was able to with just my hands. Cheers to finally being free of this annoying, debilitating pain.👍 Last update. It's been about 7 months since my last update and I am happy to say the pain is 95 percent gone. That may seem like a tediously long healing process but remember you're walking on the injury every day. The single most important factor IMHO was the arch support inserts. That reduced most of the pain to 50 percent permanently after about a week.. Stick with it and best wishes.😊👍🏾

[@Asherroc]

Welder here Friday on the shop floor killed my feet out of no where been doing shop work 12 years never had it till now.

[@maxi-me]

@jakeasher777 can't believe that was 7 months ago..... After much research I figured out it was the position my foot was in on the 1 hour drive to and from work. I had my left foot flat on the floor (leg tilted slightly back) which meant the plantar facia was in a relaxed position. When I'd get out of the truck and was walking, suddenly it had undue tension. That caused stretch inflammation. Edit: I had recently been assigned a different fleet vehicle. Now I am conscious of my foot during commute. I hold it upright (toes slightly toward shin) against to floorboard under the emergency break pedal. It was uncomfortable at first but now is natural inclination. No more problems. Pay attention to your daily routine, how you're holding the affected foot in different situations and any recent changes. Always make sure it's not over tilted downward from the shin for extended periods of time. May just be an unmindful positioning habit you've developed.

[@JMarie-th8xe]

Same, mine just showed up out of nowhere recently. I pray that this works for us all!

It must have been the old sneakers i had. Theres still a tiny bit of pain for a few seconds if im sitting for to long but it disappears after 2 seconds after i stand up. So happy now, if your getting these pains try changing your shoes to really soft sole shoes. I think NB 1080v12, nike invincibles and also the hokka might do the trick for you.

why cool the plantar fascia a lot of research out there that cooling decreases inflammation and thus also recovery time (ofc if pain is the thing you want to treat than i understand yet this is treating the symptoms not the origin), Furthermore why are you saying it is not inflamed? when you look at it under an echo you will see thickness of the fascia and echogenicity.

How did yours go away? What worked for you? Thx

[@melindatovar3997]

I'm interested to know too? How did u fix it

[@chickenwings4058]

@@minaoh9492 Thank you for asking,I had Plantar Fasciitis for about a year due to me wearing non Slip Shoes with no Arch for work.I did the stretching against the wall as seen in this video but i only did that about 3 times the whole year.What I really did was I got a plastic water bottle full of frozen water sat down in a chair & just rolled it on the bottom of my foot.Then after that I have a roller I bought from 5 Below,it's round & a little long with things sticking up from it.I did the same thing I did with the ice, sit down and roll it back and forth on your foot.I did the Ice for about 15 Minutes everyday or as long as you can stand the cold and the Roller I did everyday too sometimes 2 or 3 hours a day.Before I knew it I was just fine.

Thanks for the video! I have just recently started experiencing pain that I believe is plantar fasciitis. I have a question for you: is walking all day helping to stretch my plantar fascia or is it doing me more harm? Thanks!

[@Jenniferslife01]

I've noticed that a lot of walking during the day can irritate mine. When reading online I've noticed they have said to limit walking to minimum since it can cause more damage while it's healing.

Very useful information, thanks

Oh I needed to do this, especially about 2 weeks ago, but I can still use this now. Thanks!

Ok so I’ve been doing the towel exercise for over 3 days and I’ve noticed SO much relief. I’ve been digging through KZbin and noticed a common theme in most plantar fasciitis fix videos: tight calves, hamstrings, glutes, and hips. I’m doing this exercise in addition to foam rolling my entire body, from my back all the way down to my calves. I’m hoping to get rid of this thing once and for all. However I do have a question, is rest necessary when healing this?

Did it wörk?

I had horrible plantar facitis in both feet from being on my feet at work for 18+ hours six days a week and I am overweight. I needed to use compression foot braces on and off, stretching and taking two weeks off work helped allieviate my pain immensely. I was offering my feet some respite by not being on them so many hours a day.

[@neverbeaten]

Yes rest is a must for 3 months at least

[@YvonneT2]

[@ramus93]

@@YvonneT2 you can still walk just not as much as you normally would cut your walking down as much as possible basically

The preview of the pain face with the golf ball has been *me* trying to use that as home therapy. 😂 Thank you for giving these helpful and easy steps to treat this annoyingly painful condition - I can’t wait to see how well they work.

I started jumping rope and BAM! my foot hurts all the time, especially my right heal. I haven’t jumped rope in over a week now nor any other exercise to give it a break and I am still in so much pain, limping all through the day. I am a nurse, on my feet 12 hours a day, wear good shoes, etc. My workout is my antidepressant ❤️ Help! Also can’t miss work but I am seriously struggling.

For me, I used Omega 3,6, and 9 oil with borage and primrose oil. My PF went away in about a week and never came back.
