Plantar faciitis

[pudding_bowl]

In the case of chronic inflammation like plantar fasciitis it is very important to offload the affected structure. I would suggest seeing a physio who is well versed in foot biomechanics who can sort you with a pair of shoe orthotics.
I'm not saying orthotics are the ultimate answer to cure all plantar fasciitis but they work brilliantly when given appropriately.
Also with the stretches make sure you don't overstretch as this is likely to hinder your progress. You can also stretch the plantar fascia by placing your heel on the floor and your toe on the wall (if you get what i mean) and then try to bring your knee to the wall... you should feel stretch under your foot. try not to overdo it.
Good luck

yep i agree with both of the answers so far. look at taping to offload the plantar fascia and look in to footwear and orthotics long term if necessary. physiotherapy can help with passive stretching plus soft tissue massage to eliminate adhesions. joint mobilisation around your ankle and heel also helps relieve any stiffness that has come about by walking on a sore foot. (or the stiffness could have been there in the start and actually caused the plantarfasciitis!!) It'd be interesting to hear what brought this on ie; what caused your plantarfasciitis in the first place
