@@ReadyorNot811 Sadly, yeah. My previous podiatrist had a lot of "advice" that I think ended up doing permanent injury to my foot. These exercises still do help to keep the day to day pain very mild or even not noticeable.

I just watched a video where the guy (Eric Berg) said to stretch your foot DOWN, first. 3 times for just a few seconds each time. And if you believe everyone in the comments section, it's game changing for plantar pain. People who were suffering for months said stretching downward gave them the first relief from pain they've had in a long time. The doctor's idea was that it has to do with tricking the brain. When you are doing dumb bell curls for example, the body makes sure that the triceps relaxes, so the curl can happen. When doing tricep extensions, the body tells the bicep to relax. By pushing down on your foot, the body tells the bottom of the foot to relax, and so the fascia gets to 'relax' as well. Try it out. I did it and it works well. It's not a fix but it helps avoid that stab of pain when you get up. The thing that helped me was icing the bottom of my foot every night, and wearing supportive shoes around the house. My plantar pain is almost gone now.

One stretch that you didn't mention that's helped me a lot is sit up , cross your leg over your knee then pull/stretch your toes down stretching the top of the foot, the ankle and shins.

I do the stretches in the middle of the night before I get out of bed to go pee. Things are improving immensely. Foot goes into a slipper with good arch support and cushioning before I head to bathroom. These stretches do work. When sitting, I roll my foot on a tennis ball or spikey ball and also do stretches to keep things from getting too stiff.

I’ve had this problem for 22 years. It is generally like walking on tooth ache. The pain is in my foot permanently. The centre of the pain appears to be in the centre of where the arch used to be. I have since developed fallen arches. All of these eventually prevented me from my morning running regime, which of course has compounded a wider range of problems. I am now nearly 68, and am keen to fight this problem in whatever way I can. Thank you for your help and advice.

Thank you guys so much. I had crippling pain and your stretches have helped so much.

I'm so glad that I found this video. I've only been doing the exercises for 4 days and I can already feel the difference. I have Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. It started with the right foot many years ago, it eased off a bit but didn't go completely then it started in left foot a few months back but seems to be more painful that the right one ever was. I'm now doing these exercises on both feet and it's making a world of difference. I've watched more of your videos lately and I have ordered some K-tape. Thanks again Bob and Brad.

I am 87 and had to stop my usual long walks due to feet and other problems. I have only been following Bob and Brad for a little while, but my Planter Fasciitis seems to be improving. Will keep watching them. Thank you B & B.

I suffered from this for about 7 years. Went on the low-carb, Keto diet. The only exercise I did was just before I went to bed at night, I stretched out my heel up and down to relieve the throbbing pain. But that Keto diet? My pain completely disappeared in 4 days. Gone! I was not only amazed, but realized how very important a persons' diet is to their overall health. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. Within a week, you should have results.

I can’t thank u both enough. Your exercises is my go to for any injury. You are indeed the best on internet. 3 times you made a difference in my life, once I injured my shoulder and elbow during a fall, i had stiffness and my hand seemed to not straighten and ur exercises fixed those injuries, a knee injury when I felt as if I can’t walk properly anymore again like some miracle after doing the exercises u both recommended, gone and now I am back to fix my plantar fasciitis. I had it before and ur sessions had helped me in the past. I plan to start it again. Thank you 🙏 for serving humanity.

Thank you Bob and Brad for helping me heal my plantar faciatis!!! No surgery and I still do these stretches religiously! It is great blood circulation to feet and body!😅

If anyone’s lucky enough to read this. I had plantar fasciitis for nearly 6 months. Tried every stretch, iced it, rested my foot as much as possible. Nothing worked. I thought I was never getting over this thing. UNTIL.. I bought the copper compression plantar fasciitis night sock. I’ve used it now for over a month. I fall asleep with it on. And guess what? My pain is gone and my foot actually feels normal again. This is the honest to Gods truth. Try it. It really does work. You’re welcome! ✌️

This reduced my pain in like the first two days of doing these exercises. Thank you!

This works! I have been suffering for 6 months with PF of the left foot. Did one session last night and the pain was almost gone. Woke up today and it is completely gone! I think it was the massage that did the most for me. Great advice!

Great video. I would recommend releasing the Fascia on the entire leg below the knee. The Fascia on the calf and shin bone is too tight. This causes restrictions on the movement of the foot. I would hold the lower leg near the ankle and pull up. Hold each position for 3 to 5 min until the fascia releases and then move up to another few inches and hold again until the lower leg is cleared out. The Plantar Fascia will start getting better and the foot was never touched. For fastest results Include the foot exercises and foot massage and also release the fascia on the lower leg and notice a huge improvement. Peace guys.

It used to take me 2 or 3 months to heal my PF. Then I finally splurged and got a boot like device from either Footsmart or Amazon for $40-50. I am so glad I got so desperate that I was willing to experiment because sleeping with that boot like thing would heal any PF in 2 to 3 days. Your foot is in the proper position to heal while sleeping which is probably when most healing takes place and no re-injuring the PF all over again in the morning. It works! Also, I switched from different brands of "comfort" shoes to Propet's twilite walkers and any of their shoes that have the same bottom. I have not even had PF in almost 10 years because of the shoes.

here's several things to try Try a natural remedies for plantar foot. Something as simple as ginger root, which can be bought at your local grocery shop, is a great anti-inflammatory. Ginger root is in a group of plants known as Cox inhibitors. This means they help inflammation naturally. Another natural remedy for pain is Bromelain. Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapples. If you drink the raw juice or eat raw pineapple, you can gt advantage from the natural pain relief of Bromelain. This is natural healing at its very best. (I learned these and more tips on fergs foot formula site )

My PF was so bad I was having trouble walking first thing in the morning. I started doing these exercises and felt the difference immediately! I do think that always making sure that my footwear has arch support might have made the biggest difference. Thanks!

Omg! Thank you for this video. Just saw it this morning before getting out of bed. I did all the stretches and I have a pair of sneakers by my bed. It’s the first morning I get up without excruciating pain.

I can't thank you enough for your videos ! They have been a god send ! I broke my arm - Couldn't afford Physical Therapy so I found you ! I am doing great. I just started to have foot pain and this is awesome ! Thanks again for all you do !

Thanks a lot Bob and Brad! I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis for a year and a half now. Finally after an MRI it’s determined I have a torn one. Been through the custom inserts, three boots/night splints,the whole 9 yards. Cortizone shots etc. These stretches will certainly help to promote healing. I haven’t been doing this faithfully before getting out of bed but I certainly will now. I really appreciate it. Tom

Tom ... Worked hard to get rid of it. But, here is what helped me most. You probably need better shoes. Get you some new shoes (like Sketchers Strike On or something like that) that are better support, Molly, and also some Greenfeet on Amazon (foot inserts). Trust me they work. I've had these type of pains (PF), but now, I'm starting to get it under control. Those two things will change your world. Sorry, they're called SuperFeet but they're green.

@@rafajero-8904 doing a lot better! I am no longer limping and can walk normally. Had sound waves treatments 6 months ago -that really helped and then just a few weeks ago I had a “targeted dry point needling procedure” where they poke a bunch of holes around the tear injury. The doctor said they basically turn a chronic injury back into an acute one, so your body will push blood into that area to heal etc. That seems to have helped as well. I still do the stretches every morning. That was the last step before having full-blown surgery, where they go in and cut it. I am thinking I will not have to have the full surgery. Thanks

Thenks you so much ❤

These exercises really work! Thank you!

I fixed it in three days by rolling my calf muscles on a hard foam roller while on the floor. I place my other leg on top of the leg being rolled. You can find the “knot”, problem area, in your calf easily this way. Roll the outside, back, and inside of the calf. You’ll find the “lump” easily this way. Continue rolling on the spot, repeat each day. I also lifted my butt off the floor for extra pressure on the calf. Pain was GONE in three days for me.

What I wear when I get up for slippers are waterproof Birkenstock sandals. They're soft enough to feel comfortable but they have a high arch support.

Being a barber for almost 20 years, I can be on my feet at times for 12 hours straight. Thank you for these tips! I also tried using a baseball to massage my foot a few times a day. That has helped me immensely! Stretch in the morning 🙏🏻

Thank you… Starting NOW! I need these exercises….

This is a helpful set of things to do for self care, and will help me heal going forward. Another good reminder thank-you.

Thank you for this! Ive been suffering through this for years. Sometimes I want to give up but your new creative tips have reinvigorated me.

Just look up new balance shoe for flat feet/ overpronation & decide from there .They also gave me rigid inserts to support my flat feet. However, I went to a podiatrist to get diagnosed with flat feet. You can get plantar fascitis for different reasons, so it’s best to see a podiatrist if you can. If you have flat feet, I also found Superfeets insoles to be helpful & affordable. Also just KZread “how to tape your feet for plantar fasciitis”. Lots of dif techniques to try.

I need to try maganese.

I am 26 and have chronic plantar fasciitis. I have dealt with it for 15+ years and after I didnt know it was that because I had a relative screw me over... he said he was a foot specialist and I had been in highschool. Long story short: I wrapped my feet until I was losing circulation in my toes.. I got intense cramps where my toes would clump together and sometimes would last half an hour. I went to a real specialist years later and got officially diagnosed after I married my massage therapist husband. After my first kid I came to a damning realization that I had such tense feet that when I was pregnant my feet "fell" into their natural form. I had high arches inherited from my mom and bad circulation. The best thing I could have done that I found was the fact from the beginning I found a way to keep my feet at almost 90° while I was sleeping. After a while I conditioned myself to sleep in my back to keep them comfortable. For a long time I had insomnia from my feet and I could get a normal job because I get intense muscle tightness all the way up to my hips. I could soak in Epsom salts for 30 minutes and my legs would still feel like a brick. On the positive note, I have finally gotten toe mobility back but now I'm having issues because my shoes are uncomfortable to wear. Like when I make a step I feel my toes moving and flexing outward every step and because of it I end up limping. Also the muscles are weak so when I flew them it's like the toe is curling because it can't handle walking.

Hi Bob and Brad. I'd this issue for 7 months pain everytime ii started walking. Massaging stretching flexing doesnt help. I found this video yesterday and immediately did as you said. It's like miracle pills. My heels no longer in pain. Guys out there, they are the real thing. I was about to take steroid injections. Many thanks to you both. Greatly greatly appreciate your work.

I swear you two have access to my medical history ... lol! Every time you post a new video, the subject is on one of my areas of pain! I had a nasty bout of plantar fasciitis three years ago (went on for months); I could barely walk. Even now, I know it’s still lurking in there. Thank you SO much for explaining that the fascia can start to ‘heal in the night but tear open again’ - I never knew that! No wonder it takes forever to heal! Also your advice telling viewers to flex the foot before they get out of bed is the best advice ever! I make sure I do that every morning - if I didn’t, I’d be in trouble again. One final note - I like Brad’s suggestion of “writing” the alphabet.

akanksha gupta - Yes, it’s been gone for almost five years now BUT I know it could easily flare up again so I make sure I flex my feet back and forth (about 8 to 10 times) before I get out of bed every single morning - or even after say, an afternoon nap which I rarely do. I know it is still ‘hiding’ in there but I’m doing my very best to avoid it flaring up. The pain was just terrible - I couldn’t walk. That foot-flexing tip was the BEST advice ever given me!

I read a comment from someone about massaging your leg calfs and I tried it, it really helps

I have been put on rest for two weeks without any activities on my feet. I use a tiny massager on my feet and quickly wear my arch socks before stepping down. I didn't even know I had flexible flat feet(a mild variant of flat feet apparently) until the visit to the podiatrist. :( I am on the obese side and also play tennis and BB. Started hurting after these intense activities I realised. But the first time was a few months ago after I tried on a new pair of shoes in a showroom and ran inside the store to check the shoes. The plantar pain started after that event. I feel I must have twisted or injured my fascia during that shoes check and then it never got a break to heal. Phew! Maaan. I am so done with all these repeated injuries...so glad I landed on Bob & Brad. You both r definitely the best physios on the internet. TY for all ur videos. Very helpful.

What about a compression sleeve? When I'm in pain I wear it and it helps.

These stretches are great! Just when I got my Achilles Tendonitis under control with an immobilization boot (wearing it for six weeks, then rehab runs, then short runs), now my Achilles Tendonitis has moved south to Plantar Fasciitis. I'm thinking to myself, "C'mon!!!", it doesn't go away, it just migrates. I will begin tomorrow morning with these stretches, because I've been dreading my first step every morning. I'll let ya know how it goes. Thanks.

Why does the area towards the ball of the foot hurt more doing the massage you showed, then the heel?

As a skateboarder we develop these periodically I’m currently experiencing a painful one. A friend suggested sitting and placing a golf ball or two on the floor and rolling it around under my foot it’s honestly the most effective method I’ve experienced in stretching and breaking up that tissue coupled with these stretches you’ve mentioned I’m hoping to shake back soon
