15. I used to have a problem with it
Edited on Tue May-19-09 09:52 PM by Juche
Two things cured it and I haven't had problems in a year.

1. Powerstep pinnacle insoles

2. Stretching in the morning. The best time to stretch the plantar fascia is in the morning before you get out of bed. Put one foot on your opposing knee, grab your toes and pull back your foot back to stretch the bottom of it, and hold the stretch for about 2 seconds. Do that about 10 times, then do the same with the other foot. Make sure you do it before you get out of bed and start walking.


Doing that made it go away within a month. However I had only had problems with it for a couple of months before that (started a new job that required a good deal of standing) so the damage at that point was probably minimal.
