[@clivegreenall309]

Jeff, Your timing couldn't be better. A few weeks back, I thought I'd bruised my left heel and the discomfort comes and goes. I thought about planter fasciatus, but couldn't confirm if that was correct. I'll definitely give your exercises a try. Thanks from S Africa.

[@Hehanni]

Jeff, I've battled Plantar Fasciitis for 3+ years. I followed your protocol for the last 12 days and ran yesterday the most I've done in years. 0 pain today. You're the best.

[@ZachCresswell]

Did you find your calves or your hips were the main problem? I’ve done a ton of calf stretching and they’re pretty loose but I haven’t tried the hip exercises.

[@Hehanni]

@ZachCresswell Both honestly. I've tried calf stretching before, but adding the step over angle to it made a big difference. I definitely drop one of my hips in a sort of limp when walking, the exercise he shows has been helping with that. I've been doing the stretches 3x a day and the hip PT at least once

[@Jazzyshan]

After a year of foot pain and countless videos watched, this one may have done the trick. In addition to the stretches I began walking with a sense of feeling contact with the ground with the outside of the foot first, and also feeling like my toes are pointing somewhat inward (though in actuality they aren't), engaging the ankle more, and haven't had any foot pain for the past few days despite walking several thousand steps per day. Thank you!

I watched you religiously 7 years ago. You got me through a tough breakup as a young man as I turned my attention to the gym as one does. Using your videos, I went from a thin and weak 120lb to a very strong and healthy 145lb! I lost motivation surprisingly after joining the military due to multiple reasons, but within the last month I've reignited my motivation. Lost 15lb already, and I'm making remarkable strength progress despite the short period of time. Not sure if you read these comments but just know, you've been a very positive influence in this dude's life. Continue the great work! Knew the go-to guy in catching myself up with tricks of the trade when it comes to hypertrophy. I'll be back to if not greater than I ever was within 6 months!

I watched your previous video on plantar fasciitis and I did those stretches against the wall to loosen the calf (where you cross your foot over the other instead of just stretching straight at the wall) and it worked wonders. The foot pain went away and even though I don't have the pain anymore I still keep doing those stretches. Thank you so much!

I've dealt with plantar faciitis, hip, low back and shoulder pain for years and had to give up hockey and all running sports. It will start to feel a little better then one run and it's all back. I think this is the information I've been looking for and couldn't find in a way that makes sense to me. This one short video connects a lot of dots that my physio, podiatrist, RMT and Chiropractor have pointed to over the years but never in such a way that makes so much sense. The change in calf stretch alone has an immediate impact that none of the angles or devices I've used ever have. Thank you!!!

Had the agonizing issue on my left side for 3+ years. Combination of arch support insoles, calf/solus stretching, hip abduction exercises, rolling foot over ice bottle, deep massage and 2 steroid injections finally alleviated it but now have it on my right side...

As a physical therapist, I 💯 agree with everything here! I treat clients virtually and work almost exclusively with people who have foot pain. These two exercises, or similar ones, are almost always in my exercise programs. I would add that depending on foot type, strengthing the intrinsic muscles of the foot and getting the foot in proper alignment are also super important components to solving plantar fasciitis. Awesome video!

[@marybethparr7805]

How do I strength the intrinsic muscles of the foot ?

[@claddagh143]

​@marybethparr7805 you can look up some exercises. Some that I've done are "toe yoga" (better to look up videos than me trying to type out the explanation), also toe curling where you use only your toes to scrunch a towel, bringing it towards you.

I injured my knee jogging and hiking about 20 years ago, and it hasn't been the same since. I still like to do a lot of walking and less hard-core hikes but about 4 years ago I started getting Plantar fasciitis on the foot of my good leg and that in turn caused both my knees to flare up as I tried to compensate for the foot pain. I've described this weird sensation of forgetting how to walk without hurting myself to my physio, but I don't think she understood. This guy has described the issue very well. I suspected that hip and heal position were both contributing to the problem. I'll try this out. If it works, I'll post in 12 months if I remember to do so.

Didn't try to run after because I'm still kinda scared to do it often, but it is progress.

@@nathanieltyghe4526 Yes, I think you should be able to cure your fasciitis. It took me nearly a year and I have to continue the stretching routine. As well stated in this video, it is the posterior chain of connected muscles and bones that need to be stretched. Also, the tibia muscles are probably tight. In addition to Jeff's recommendation, I also: a) sit on the floor, heals to the but, same but bent forward, with the knees against the chest, and a variant, one leg straight behind while being bent forward; c) squatting feet flat; d) standing hip bends straight legs fingers touching your toes. All stretches are for one minute. Twice a day, every day is great.

Fellow PT here. Great exercises. I will humbly add that the posterior capsule of the ankle needs to be mobilized otherwise you are going to limit overall improvements and prolong the rehab. This dx should only be 2-4 week rehab. Use a belt put in on your ankle with the other end on something stable. Get some tension in the belt and do the same movements and stretches. This will greatly improve the effectiveness.

[@bryanbloom8640]

Excellent explanation!! I have been a high level athlete my entire life and Plantar Fasciitis will shut you down!! At the end of the day, most problems are solved and, more importantly, PREVENTED, with proper and CONSISTENT holistic body stretching. No matter what sport you engage in, stretching not only prevents injury, but enhances your ability to perform and gain strength. Your muscles are like rubber bands. The more elastic, the faster you run and higher you jump!! The quicker reflexes!! It is all connected. Stretching is the most overlooked part of athletics and it makes me so aggravated when coaches and athletes do not give it proper attention and time. You see many athletes simply going through the motions and not truly stretching. They are only hurting themselves and potentially their team because they don't perform as they could or injure themselves and are now unable to contribute their needed talents and skills.

I have right hip pain and so have developed plantar fascitis on left heel , great video, thanks

[@coledawson2120]

So good Jeff, appreciate your advice! My pain in my foot literally disappeared straight after the stretch and my calves were definitely tight!

[@nikos.1111]

Hey, Jeff! Your videos have fixed so many issues I used to have and this is one of them. I can’t thank you enough! You are amazing

[@jamesgoodman7853]

As a pt student, I love this. I’m especially fond of the biomechanics break down. Thanks Jeff!

[@TonyAlbanese-q9o]

Wow this couldn't have come at a better time for me! Thank you and going to try both exercises and hopefully this should help. Great information!

[@SummersDC]

I can't wait to try this! I have suffered with plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, and extremely tight calves for several years. The stretches that the foot specialist gives out are worthless. Thanks so much for this video. ❤

Just do it a bit everyday. Worked for me 3 years ago

[@ssouperman]

Awesome! Had a bad case years ago. Sometimes it becomes inflamed. I’ll try it out

[@SolarCrown]

Yes great timing Jeff. Thank you for making this video. PF is just killing me these days. Will try your stretches/exercises.

Hi Jeff, I just wanted to say that you’re truly awesome and incredibly professional as both a trainer and physical therapist. I had been dealing with lower back pain for a while, and multiple doctors told me it was an issue with my discs. Then I came across your videos, mainly for training, but I happened to watch your video on lower back pain and decided to give it a try. And wow, you solved it! It turns out that the gun I was carrying every day in a concealed holster was pressing against my glute muscles, causing the pain. Thanks to your video and the valuable knowledge you share on KZbin, I finally found relief. Thank you so much, Jeff. You’re amazing!

Concealed carry is the worse. Especially when sitting. Hip is going to be the best for comfort I have found. But, then again all our bodies are built different as is the gun we carry.

OMG, I felt the stretch in my calf right away!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Great info, as always. I copied and sent this link to my mother, who’s had these issues/problems for a long time. Thanks Jeff.
