Fascial based Exercises For Plantar Fasciitis

Put foot on stairs (or a block of wood would do) and drop heel down – NOT really a stretch but strengthening and revising the plantar fascia has good effect on plantar fasciitis

Important step is use of rolled up T-shirt to help with stretch:

Bring feet/foot up and slowly bring down for 5 secc. – requires use of stars and can be done bilaterally at once – 5 sec holds – NOT a Stretch (that would be uncomfortable)

 

 

Stat off once daily repeated ten times and work up.  After a month add weights by use of coat or backpack.

“it is important that patients are compliant with the training paradigm and have some tolerance for pain.”
