Your a legend, two years I’ve been suffering with plantar fasciitis been to two different podiatrists, spent a fortune on orthotics, etc to no avail I was at my wits end. I tried your exercises and OMG the difference..turns out it was my hips! Cannot thank you enough!

I have been suffering for a year now. I am one week in on these tips. It works. Thank you so much. I am now convinced most of these foot issues can be helped by paying attention to the entire chain, especially the hips.

I've been having plantar fasciitis for months. I did your very first exercise and the pain was gone almost immediately, but of course the real test was the following morning after waking up....voila! No pain!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Thank you very much Matt!!! I'm a 61 y/o marathon runner and I thought my pain was related to the training and age. I was wrong! Thanks again!!!

Yes!! You’ve proved once again what my trainer says: “the problem is (usually) NOT where the pain is”. Your video helped me so much! Thank you!

Oh Thankyou so much for your bizarre fix. I have battled plantar fasciitis for 9months, trying all the other options….massage balls, orthodics, bare feat shoes, calf stretches and strengthening, cut out running and sport….to No or little benefit. Once I stretched out my hip flexors I noticed the pain was gone….it came back quote soon after but I though why?? Well I was sitting on my arse again in front of that computer or on a plane or driving a car causing my hip flexors / core to be tight again. But once I stretch it out the heel pain disappears. I can run again !!! Thankyou so much!!! I paid so much on doctors and podiatrist fees, X-rays, ultrasounds, stupid stability shoes, crappy show inserts….OMG 10 second stretch shows the problem.

Yesss! Thanks for sharing your success story!

Eureka!! That's why my plantar fascitis went away. I tried everything and nothing worked then I began ignoring it and just continued to increase training mobility and the problem faded away on its own. That is so fascinating! Thank you for bringing this to our awareness.❤

Which foot goes in front--the one with the pain? Of course , it's a good idea to do both sides anyway. How long does it take to make it go away * days/weeks?*

Dealing with a year old injury, wherein I broke my sacral bone and damaged the sciatic nerve. Significant muscle atrophy because of pain induced inactivity. Just recently having a flare up of plantar fasciitis and the shin pain caused from favoring the heel. Finally realized that the whole thing has shortened my hamstring. So when I saw this video come up on my home page, it made a whole lot of sense to me. Thank you SO much for answering SO many questions in one video!! BTW I'm 70, otherwise very healthy and previously very strong, so this last year's unprecedented pain, lack of strength and mobility was causing me to feel like my body had betrayed me. Thanks for showing me the way back!!

Found this channel a year ago when I thought I might need surgery for my hip pain, which was a terrifying thought. The pain was so bad I had even switched to a different car because I couldn't use the clutch anymore. Then after a couple years, the pain started on my other hip. Following a different video you made for that issue fixed it completely. Years of pain and it was gone. I couldn't believe the solution was so simple. As long as I keep up with those exercises a couple times a week, the pain doesn't return. Lately, I've been having more and more problems with my feet "plantar fasciitis", I was told. After just the first attempt at the first two exercises in this video, I found the relief to be amazing. And again, a couple times a week, and the pain is no more. Thank you so much! I'll just add that I've always been physically active, lifted weights, and thought myself to be in good shape. Obviously, there are areas that have been neglected, and these issues seem to be cropping up as I get older. Thank you again for all the work you put into these videos. They are very well done and easy to follow. I enthusiastically recommend your channel to anyone I hear complaining about the issues you cover.

I followed your exercises just now (just once) and my heel is pain free! I am amazed! I’ve had the pain for months and tried various stretches etc daily but nothing worked. Thank you. I’ll see how I feel tomorrow but I’m speechless.😘

I was doing multiple foot exercises to try to get rid of my plantar fasciitis and until I stumbled onto your video and incorporated the exercises in this video I finally am starting to feel less pain in my foot. Thank You! I am also transitioning away from orthotic type shoes to barefoot type shoes to help strengthen my feet.

Yes, barefoot type shoes were a game-changer where foot exercises were not! Love this video!

Thank you so much. Did the first two exercises, and I can bear weight again after 3 months of continuous pain. Thank you so much ❤ I had physio says nope, it's not PF, podiatrist it's PF but you need to pay us 1200 euros to fix it and you need orthotics. Following and liking ❤

This makes total sense with me! I am 60 and my hips, thighs/hams have always been weak. Time to get ankle weights! Love your sense of humor!❤ Grateful for finding your videos😊!

5:26 "... and there's a bonus here because as you get more and more flexible, you can actually clean your feet and your toes with your tongue." LOL

I knew I had tight hip flexor, but didn’t know it could effect my plantar fasciitis! Thank you because it already feels better from first stretch! Thank you so much!!

Yes!! Same! I noticed I couldn’t sit cross cross applesauce and now am learning how that can be related to my PF! Hoping to help my hip and feet at the same time!

While working a desk job where we were all but chained to our desks, I had terrible plantar fascitis. I then worked at a garden center where I was moving different ways all the time and the foot problems cleared up quickly. Now many years later I have a problem hip and I can tell cramps & pain I get in my leg & foot are coming from my hip.

Wow, just doing the first exercise made my feet stop throbbing! Everything is connected:) I actually cant wait to do these stretches every day... Pain sucks.

Thank you so much! This absolutely works! I had the pain for 2 weeks then when i tried it, immediately it went away!

OMG! the second stretch really did the trick for me!

I can feel the difference already.. wow!

These exercises worked absolute wonders for me. Still no idea why;-) Thanks so, so much for fixing a years-old problem!

This guy is a god send, thx u 4 the upload, bless u

Just watching you start with hips. I’ve had plantar fasciitis and arcillies pain in both feet for a few years now on and off. No one really looked into the cause - just got given a bunch of the usual to do. I always thought it was weird it was both legs-and it would often be irritated from doing nothing. Recently I got a hip injury so was working on stretching and mobility in the area - 90% of the pain for both issues went away.

Thank you - I will try these ❤️

omg, this really helped, thank you so much!!

Thank you very much. You are so right. You made my day!👍😀

Great content! I shared it with a friend who has being suffering for years & l hope she gets better.

A very big thank you for solving my problem. Keep the good work.

Thank you so much

Wonderful exercise! This is work for me

I love your sense of humour.😊

I love your videos you are so helpful ❤️

Love your video it helped my feet immediately.

Thank you. The exercises worked for my pf. 😊

You have good grounded wisdom on the body have followed for a long time , thankyou . I always enjoy

HOLY CRAP!! It did help imediately! I am a believer now. Looking forward to more information from you!

That last tip about barefoot shoes is what solved ALL of my foot problems … and I owe it to Upright Health … Matt tipped me over the edge so to speak and I tried them out over a year ago. Be gentle and go slow, of course, but I dove right in like an idiot - and suffered no consequences at all! PS: I have been trying these exercises, and my butt and hamstrings feel much better and a little bit stronger. Thanks, Matt!

Thank you for being YOU❤ First video I’ve seen of yours and laughed 😂 all the way through. Did help my foot and my spirit !!!

Thank you!!!! this really works I tried everything, this one really works.

I simply went barefoot 98% of the time for 4 years. Initially I needed to wear gel heel pads when static on my trade stall, especially on hard ground. But after a few months I dispensed with those. I kept a pair of soft slip on shoes in the car for the refuse tip, horse stables, builders merchants and the like, as well as any time I was challenged to wear something on my feet for insurance purposes in particular buildings. Now back in low heel boots for 4 years and still no pain. One day I may afford some barefoot boots for dog walking! 😊

Thank you. I will try the exercises. I was impress by this aproach. very interesting.

Wow that was a great work out for my feet! Soothing music and voice to make it all perfect . Thank you!

Thank you so much sir I never felt like this before

Thanks so much for sharing. These stretches are helping my PF feet 😊 Felt less pain after the first stretches.

Great content my friend, I'm a PT and have been using traditional calve/foot stretches with little success. You got yourself a new follower and fan. Have a blessed day!

Great as usual! thx 🤟

I did these exercises after trying the traditional remedies and I agree about minimal shoes and an ex runner .. so I did the stretches and then I got a burning sensation in the fasciitis in the outside of my heel. I will do the stretching you recommended and I’ve become sedentary lately and that’s what brought this on again plus I’m detoxing and believe oxalate dumping has brought this issue back after years of healing. Thank you for reminding me to stretch in this manner.

You are cracking me up! I had this foot pain for a long time, and never understood why it went away. But now I understand. Thanks, Matt!

Talking about FOOT PAIN. A friend of mine was having a lot of foot pain. He went to a neurologist and was diagnoses with foot neuropathy and given all kinds of drugs for it. Didn't help much. After many months he finally wet to a FOOT DOCTOR. The Doctor found a small PEBBLE in his foot. Once removed. No more pain. Simple things make all the difference.

thank you 1000000 sir really really worked.

Excellent video! I use these stretches (along with strengthening) for my hips. The presentation and recommendations are so different, and very helpful!

I did a very similar hip stretch for my PF a couple of years ago, this WORKS. Crazy how easy it was.

This is fantastic! Thank you! I can already tell through trying the stretches that I am much tighter on the side I have foot pain on. Now I have hope that my foot will get better!

So very true. Those foot stretches did not took care of my heel pain. Your information is appreciated.

Did these once and already feel better. Amazing release and relief to my feet/heels. Thanks for the streches!

After now going on 4mo of plantar fascitis with 2 of unmerciful pain which I had thought a result of the dropped foot on same side, trying just the 1st and last stretches you showed have already brought a bit of relief. I am so very grateful to you for sharing these with us

Thank you 😊

Great video. Informative entertaining and funny. Thank you. Makes total sense - stop treating the poor end result (only) and start (also) treating the root cause.

Tin Man Here. HI all. Been a while. I'm sure my phone is talking to your phone Matt cause my plantar fash flared up about a week ago. This morning I wake up to your vid on how to work your plantar fasciitis. Timely! Yes I've done the lacrosse ball and pinch the heel and though I do hip flexor stretches every day and the "four", I will double and triple those efforts. And after a summer of almost daily visits to the gym, this Tin Man is becoming less of a Tin Man. I do your morning workout from the FAI fix every single day. In this ever changing world in which we live, I hope you continue to keep doing what you are doing for some time yet. Gracias

Thank u so much this has relieved my foot pain lol but I noticed after I got done doing your stretches when I went to massage my foot I felt no pain god bless u imma gonna do this everyday until I heal hopefully

Thank you !!

Wow. This works! Thanks man. Almost instantly for me anyway.

First try, and it worked!!! I will keep doing this. Thank you so much!

I suffered from PF and bone spurs for four years . Fed up from bed ridden routine I went out and stated jump up on my foot toes in a grassy lawn . When I felt relieved continued for a week and PF automatically got relieved. It worked for me.

Interesting u should say that.. I remember having foot pain for years and on daily painkillers, one day I walked around a field barefoot on the grass, it was a 15 Mins walk then I sat for an hour with feet on the ground barefoot.. I kid u not.. I had no pain whatsoever for the following 2 months! I belive it's was a combination of foot stretching and GROUNDING my feet, body to the earth.

First time and WAU!!! My PF is starting to go away 😳🤩

Since I was a youth I rode horses but I always had hip problems and know this from sitting on fence posts and the pain it caused, but then a truck accident being tboned in 2010 I have been on a quest to fix this . I have splints, boots ,taped ,iced ,rolled and everything but a year ago I found your old video and it was magical and now another video and it makes huge sense and brings instant results and really takes that pain off the bottom of foot . Saved this time in my email ❤thank you much appreciated for your time and efforts to help others with this painful foot condition.

Yes! You are so right! I have just started doing some of these stretches and it has relieved the pain a little. I need to do the stretches more often AND consistently, so it lasts longer with no pain. I shared this with a friend. Thank you!❤

My plantar fasciitis disappeared. I tried a lot of other stretches and even physio. Nothing worked after a couple of times I actually could my foot down . Thank you so so much!

Thank you so much! This gave immediate relief 🎉

Thanks for all your videos. Would love one on shin splits. Trust and appreciate your advice.

Immediately can feel the difference. Stretching the hip flexors and glutes brought more relief than all the foot stretching that really seemed not to be at the root of it all. Thanks 🙏

Hallelujah! It worked!!!!

Thank you for this info. I had this PF for 5 months now & it’s not so nice ,painful & uncomfortable. So I will do this everyday. 😊

Brilliant info. This helps. Occasional roller hockey & hiker climber. I was sore getting back into it. I’ve been walking barefoot at & around my property since 2020 work from home. Now I’m not so used to my old work dress shoes I have to wear. 6 hrs here or there

Love this vid. Have also discovered the foot collective which is working the same way but from the feet up! Love it all!

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you so much!!!! These stretches have helped, I have always done at least 5 days a week of yoga which included hip flexor and hip opener poses and had stopped a few months ago and realize that’s when the Plantar Faciitus symptoms started. I’m getting relief after only two days!!! Thanks for making these videos providing the best ways to heal ourselves!!!

Thanks, ❤ your channel

For those who must do the pigeon stretch while standing, you can use a chair either with arm rests or not. A kitchen chair is probably the easiest. Stand to the side of the chair and grip the back or the chair for balance. Put your leg sideways on the chair as shown in the video. Keeping a straight back try to bend forward. I used to use this stretch for an injury years ago and it helped me so that now I am able to do the stretch as shown in the video or as the yoga pose.

Hey! I just want to say thank you. This fixed my fasciitis. I was wondering why sometimes after doing yoga my fasciitis disappeared, and now I realise it’s because there we do hip stretching exercises. I’m now stretching before I go to bed, and I hold the full pigeon pose for a while, and when I wake up, I do the stretches in your video. My fasciitis is gone!!!

Thanks!

I love your videos. I think what I have is plantar fasciitis. I am 74, training for a month long walk and must have gone too far, too fast. I hate to stop and lose progress but everything hurts! I will limit myself to strength training for the next little while and use this video in particular. Thanks for your excellent instructions. I would love it if you made videos of a lower and upper body 20-30 min strength session ...

If the pain is in your heel, worst when you take your first step in the morning, bad when you get up from sitting, not so bad after you’ve walked a bit, then you have plantar fasciitis. The first step in the morning will tell you. Stabbing pain in the heel.

Thank you , thank you , thank you 🙏🎯

Hello sir..... thank u so much for helping me.... its very pain ful sir.... am watching u r video just now... and on the spot am doing 1st and 2nd exercises..its really working...actually i dont have that equipment in using 3rd one... anyways once again thank u so much sir....may god bless u....and lots of love from Andaman and nicobar....India...❤❤

Thank you for underlining what I suspected. I have tried everything, physiotherapy, ice, injection etc but nothing worked. I remarked that some positions help and some others don' and this had nothing to do with the painful spot. So I " suspected" that healing had nothing to do with all the stuff that I had tried but I just had to enforce my body so that it could be able to heal on its own. And then I saw your video and I understood that I was not the only one who came to this conclusion. So thank you once again I continue with muscle strengthening and hope

Cool ideas! I am a long distance hiker and had knee problems the first 2000 miles I hiked. Then I noticed a correlation with my knee pain and my pack hip belt. I stopped using hip belts and now have done 8000 miles without knee pain. I say this because the hip stretches you recommend actually immediately started to help with the plantar fasciitis I am dealing with now and I didn't think to loosen my hips. Hiking across New Zealand and it has a ton of road walking which my body isn't used to. Thanks again!

For the modified pigeon stretch at 6:50 for those with really stiff hips- it can also be done on an incline bench for those who have access :)

thank you! the second stretch took my pain away!

I am a senior 76 years old and these excerise they teach in Silver Sneakers Class. I have gotten away with doing these stretches. Thank you for your reminder. The first excerise for seniors you can actually do it sitting down on a chair. You are so right! I asked my doctor if the pain in my foot was coming from my hip?? I was told no this is only a foot problem.

I saw a Massage Therapist/Physio Therapist yesterday and he told me exactly the same thing, he said my Plantar Fasciitis is coming from my hip. He gave me some exercises to do. The first one you showed here I did and I feel amazing... I’m going to add this to my exercise regime. I wear a uniform which includes a certain type of Ladies shoe which make this very tricky for me.

Thank you thank you thank you you’ve made it clear to me I’m not stretching nearly enough or sometimes not at all after long cycling workouts, which is probably the reason I can’t shake this plantar fasciitis😢 great tips❤. I am going to try these 🎉 I’ve got old-school training techniques and theory stuck in my head that no pain no gain😮😅😊

The first exercises instead of my feet I felt it on my legs like the and the second one on my butt but I am so bad shape all over my body that whatever exercise I do that helps me in some ways is ok probably doing more frequently it work on my feet so thank so much you make a lot of sense when you’re explaining all this exercises

Hi thank you. I feel better. Do you have any good exercises for my knees. Still sore and stiff after lamenectomy 4 yrs ago. Thank you. Best

Thanks for these helpful videos. I am just wondering if these stretches are ok for someone who has had partial knee replacement?

Love ur content & informative delivery. Question: Does the plantar fascia become dry & brittle like a dry sponge as we age? Do u recommend minimalist footwear for seniors? Or, Oofos?

YAAAAS! I've been battling plantar fasciitis about 9 months now. At first, I was trying to avoid being hard on my feet. After a few months of being careful with no improvement, I just "gave up" and returned to my regular martial arts training and stretching and stance work and, lo and behold, I forgot I had a PF! My feet are way happier when I am working my hips and stretching my big muscles around my pelvis and back and legs. Also note- martials arts is BAREFOOT. I think the recommendations to wear orthotics and extra cushioning and TLc are totally off. So, like, YEAH, I totally agree with you!
