I have noticed major improvement just by intensely stretching my calves. Still have some discomfort but it’s improved significantly. Stretching seems to be the key. Thanks all
Marathon / ultra marathon runner as well as a studying certified personal trainer here.. Even after your recovery , snag a tennis ball, baseball, whatever ball... and when your just sitting watching tv or on the computer... rub that ball around on the bottom of your feet to massage those areas for a few minutes under each foot. Its the little things that make a differenceDealing with plantar fasciitis for the first time. Pain is more in the heel area. For those of you experienced with it, what worked for you getting through it?
I decided last week I better get serious about getting it gone. Now is the time as it’s winter. I’ve got a few sets of insoles coming in the mail. Right now I am taking a two week break from all workouts. No running or lifting. Just light walking around work. Icing and rolling my feet on a frozen water bottle twice a day.
Any other thoughts?
I delt with it for about 4 months, saw a chiropractor on youtube said to stretch your calves. I started doing a one minute stretch on stairs. My pain was gone in a week.PF is linked to tightness in calves. Or at least it was for me. Start stretching your calves. There’s a few different ways. Dry needling in the calf helped me a lot.
Also for me very flat shoes helped a lot. Vans slip ons and altra lone peak.
Are you implying that everyone who has recovered from PF actually never had PF in the first place?If you really get plantar fasciitis, you don’t get rid of it. That’s been my experience.
