Should we perform the exercises on both the legs or just the affected one?

[@RuatheSidhe]

I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for 5 months and progressively getting worse despite seeing my Dr and a physio. I was doing their recommended exercises and rolling my feet on a tennis ball, taping, and wearing special inner soles after severely cutting back my regular exercise because I literally couldn’t walk. I was beginning to think there was something really wrong and life would never get back to normal because the pain was all day for me. This video made so much sense by including the calves and I did the exercises… it took two days and the pain had reduced by 95%. I no longer have heel pain first thing in the morning. My feet no longer hurt after sitting for a short period of time. The key is the toe yoga and rebuilding that strength and dexterity. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@m.taylor]

I discovered that doctors and some physios do not understand the related muscles that can contribute to pain in a specific area. They only look at that specific area where the pain is but not the surrounding muscles and tissues. It is frustrating that we have to seek advice from elsewhere such as youtube.

[@ShawqCalligraphy]

@@m.taylor hi, can you please advise me regarding this heel spur I have been doing this exercises for past three days, and my heel pain has increased a lot

[@m.taylor]

​@@ShawqCalligraphySorry. I don't know anything about heel spurs, but I would rest the foot and apply ice several times a day for about 15-20 minutes, and check with a good physiotherapist or sports doc. My heel pain was caused by tendonitis and plantar fasciitis.

[@303crew1]

This is a positive read! I’ve had this for nearly a year now. Did lots of training prior but am really struggling to do anything! I’ve also tried all the things you have but no real success. I’ll try the advice in this video.

I wish this video had been available 10 years ago when I had PF. I tried everything under the sun to decrease the pain at age 55. What finally worked for me was to lose 20 lbs and new shoes with excellent support and cushioning. This was prior to me understanding the progressive loading concept for rehab. So in my case, I lowered the stress by losing weight. I started lifting weights at about age 58 and it has never returned.

Im 38, never faced any major health issues, at 36 I had my daughter, around same time I started weight training in gym, when my daughter was around a year she got used to sleeping only when I carry her and walk, she weighed almost 8 kg and I walked for almost 2 hours a day carrying her, so a year ago slowly my heel started paining and it grew over a period of time, I guessed it could be because of extra weight im carrying, 3 months ago it got severe, I started limping, I visited physio and that is when I heard plantar fasciitis, doc gave me some pills for 10 days but there was no improvement, after watching hours of contents on plantar fasciitis I picked up 3 exercises shown in this video, it was magical, the pain just vanished within weeks, I walk a lot better, the pain arise sometimes but with this rehab it gets better.

I have tottaly lost confidence now in the medical system, I was at a doctor specialized for foot pain few years ago and she didn’t know what the problem was, told me to do an mri, still no clue. At that time I just bought more cushioned shoes. Now I watched this video and stretched the foot, all good.

[@thatgirlsandra]

Excellent information here! This was so condensed with useful information. I've watched hours of videos over the last three months in pain and could have just watched this single video. I took screenshots to save to scroll through and do these exercises daily in hopes it will help. A lot of these were recommended by my physical therapist individually at some point. Having them organized like this helps make sense of what they're trying to accomplish and helps me put together a plan for doing these by myself, which is critical if I'm going to get better. PT in the PT office isn't frequent enough and can't go on forever. Thank you!

[@Soultwine]

I have been suffering from plantar faciitis for 5 months now. I wish this is how my physio talked. Not just giving a list of exercises and sending me on my way will do these recommendations that are science based! I have a calneal bone spur that they wanted to operate on. I am a nurse who walks around 15-20k steps per shift, and my feet kill me every day after shift, and it really is miserable living with plantar faciitis. This makes a lot of sense that the bone spur is not a cause of it. For me, it's occupational. Thank you so much for all the information also read the blog which really explains a lot about the condition! Thank you!!!

[@Elflamencojuan]

Finally, sound advice for PF which was probably caused by a combination of over striding whilst walking (so hard heal impact) and poor shoes (thick spongy insole that went soft within 2 months). I did not want to stop doing a 2 mile walk to work or become dependent on orthotics or just "rest". So I bought some zero drop shoes (vivobarefoot shoes) and after day 1 (so 4 miles), the pain is no worse. But the flat shoes forced me to change my stride length drastically and slow right down which has in effect reduced the exercise load. This combined with the sensible exercises recommended here, might just make the difference and allow me to recover. Thank you for dispelling the myths and providing a good steer.

[@asgglass2709]

I had Planta Fasilitis on the 12th Aug and on the 12th Aug started doing the exercises recommended on the 17th Aug, my pain was almost gone by about 97%. The instructions are clear and concise. I did all three exercises, planta fascia stretch, the optional toe curls and toe yoga, Long term exercises level 1 and level 2.lONG TERM EX. LEVEL 2 IS VERY PAINFUL BUT VERY EFFECTIVE. I did the exercises as instructed 5x a day. Thank you for your clear information.

This should be NUMBER 1 rank on KZbin when searching PF! The top rated videos show how to massage it etc, unreal. I definitely screwed mine over the last month because I started running a lot more. It's a pity and disheartening because I was making great progress. Now I have to rehab for months :( At least it's not a case of resting fully and I will just get back to my daily 15000 steps. It sucks that I thought it was just a random pain that would go away, but after a week I realized something was off. Glad to know it's a bit more common than I thought.

I'm going to try these things, but some I've already done. Multiple PTs and podiatrists have given me various combinations of stretches, exercises, and anti-inflammatory medication for months. All with little success. I am hopeful this will change now.

[@DavidDeeble]

You guys already know your plantar fascia workbook healed me completely of my plantar pain and enabled me to resume running marathons. I don't think I've mentioned that my affected foot subsequently rolls over the ground much more smoothly than my "healthy" foot, the toes of which kind of "dig in" to the ground as my weight passes over it. I chalk this up to the three-times-a-day toe mobility exercises included in the workbook and this video. In other words, a nice unexpected benefit of your rehab program! In fact, I intend to perform the toe mobility exercises this winter on my never-affected foot to endeavor to match the performance of my rehabbed foot.

This is a wonderful video and I love the science-based approach. I've been "diagnosed" with PF but I have to answer no to the first question in the video. It used to hurt a lot upon waking but I use a night splint and that has made a tremendous difference in the morning. BUT my problem is that my heel hurts constantly with each heel impact. I've learned to compensate unconsciously and walk on my midfoot so my heel doesn't hit the ground. If I have to walk for a long period (like running errands and grocery shopping, or cooking, etc) the pain just gets worse. I'm a very active senior and this is curtailing my activities. I've been diagnosed also with a mix of PF, heel fat pad atropy and achilles tendonitis. Do these exercises help all three? An x-ray, CT scan and MRI found nothing other than thickening of the PF and chronic partial-thickness ATFL tear. Do these exercises help all three? Or do you have another video to help any of the other things? I really appreciate your approach!

[@skiyogagirl]

This is excellent! I had a terrible case of PF for 4 months from increasing my exercise from walking 2 miles and then quickly added 2 miles of running…I ended up doing 2 cortisone shots and changing all of my shoes to accommodate arch supports recommended by my podiatrist. He also had me see a physical therapist who designed a program for me of exercises that involved stretching and dynamic movement. We found that my hips were very tight and most of the exercises involve movement of the hips. I also got a lot of relief from making sure that I wasn’t extending my foot while sleeping (trapped under sheets and comforter) and for some time wearing a splint to keep it from extending. I slowly have increased my walking from 1 mile to 3 miles x 5 days/week. It has taken me 6 months! I am now in the phase where I feel I can add back in pickleball. Fortunately I have been able to golf the this whole process! It has been really slow but I am improving a lot! I will also add in your exercises and I am hopeful that they will help to strengthen and increase mobility in my ankles and calves! I really like this video! So helpful to me on my continued journey to heal PF!

It took 3 years from the time I twisted my knee running to figure out what was wrong. Now, I know better. I will go directly back to the orthopedic guy and not my primary care. I got lucky and my 3rd primary care dr was an ultra runner. If it wasn’t for him I’d still be trying to figure out what was wrong with my foot when it wasn’t my foot at all.

Had it for couple of months. Took physio therapy but no use. Took a mixture of turmeric powder, pinch of black pepper powder and warm for a month, twice a day. Was cured of the pain permanently. Exercise was only a temporary relief.

Can you please explain this in detail.

[@srikanthshastry4973]

@@jasminshobaebenezer2135 take half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, add a pinch of black pepper powder and add half a glass of warm water. Mix completely and drink it. Initially I took twice a day for 2 weeks and then reduced to once a day. I felt a difference in a week and was lot better in 2 weeks. I startedctaking it after reading number of articles on the subject. I am based in India.

Best video I've seen on this topic and trust me I've watched a ton of them!

This is the BEST and most comprehensive plantar fasciitis video I have seen!!!! I have watched them all..... Great job!

[@georgeikinya2779]

I got this pain over the weekend after running on a different shoe than I normally use but some of this stretches aggravates the pain really bad, but when you pull the toes down wards you get a relieve

[@jayneduvall5815]

This is the best advice i have seen regarding this issue. It makes total sense. Tons of thanks!!

[@jenniferhall4060]

This was the best information, I have received, concerning my heel pain. Thank you!

[@thomasspielhofer3229]

I wonder if these recommendations are the same for lateral plantar fasciitis? I found somewhere else online that for such lateral pain (on the side of the foot) other exercises are needed in particular around increasing flexibility around the ankle ... anyone else found this?

[@curiouscatgeorge2736]

Had this shit on my right foot for a year, then it went away. Then I got it on the left foot and have had it for a year. Mornings are always worse. I'll try this stuff. Rolling had not helped at all and this all makes sense. Great presentation of anatomy and drills!

I developed plantar fascitis after wearing a lower leg-foot cast for many weeks. Now I need to undo this fascitis that is causing me piercing pain along the foot arch and intense heel pain. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[@beautifulawa]

I have currently been diagnosed with a heel spur as well as plantarfaciitis on my right foot and have just finished with the physio of which I felt was telling me the same thing from the first and second appointment and nothing new or different from the follow up appointments I've had so I've stopped going because I can do all that at home and I felt I was waisting my money because the sessions were getting shorter and shorter at the same cost and I was advised to do the exercises that you said aren't needed so..... it is a totally different perspective from what the physio encouraged me to do. I like what you have said and from reading the comments, the feedback is positive.

I appreciate your researched-based recommendations! Your video was very informative and helpful. Thank you

[@LillianMuna-ht6uz]

Thank you for helping me understand what is wrong with me. I have learned a lot

[@nathanf6799]

Great video! Glad I found it as the advice my dr gave me was to roll my foot on a frozen water bottle, now I can actually make progress.
