Barefoot shoes, toe spacers, and most importantly, strengthening/stretching my calves and improving my ankle mobility has given me tremendous plantar fasciitis relief.

Same actually. Since i got injured i legit didnt stop using the foot. I stretched and walked on it daily and massaged it before bed. But mobility definitely helps the healing process (with stretching prior). Albeit i kind of had a limp for a while lol

In the video they don't talk about calf stiffness at all though, instead it appears they're saying that the issue is caused solely by the shape of the shoe. Interestingly, that assertion isn't really supported by all of the evidence that points to stiff calves being primarily associated with the pain. I'm not sure the details outlined in this video are entirely accurate.

Changing to xero minimalist shoes changed the game for me. I lived with a tight back from wearing a vest in the military for 6yrs. I now work 12hr shifts in xero shoes with ZERO foot/leg/back pain 🎉❤

I've had severe PF for 4 years now. I had an right foot achilles tear and surgery 4 years ago, then it lead to even more severe Plantar Fascia pain. I had PF release surgery 2 years ago. Still having severe PF pain. I have seen every KZread video on PF, and all the PT I've received has "NEVER" said what you guys are saying. This is the 1st one that actually goes "against 95%" of what every Podiatrist treatment has been recommending for years. I will start this Tx and let you know if it works. I have run out of options and hope this is the answer...but it does make more sense then what I've been told for years!

THANK YOU!!!! No one ever could explain what the intense, hot, strain was in the middle of my foot whenever i would try to balance on one foot in my yoga classes. I think this is it!

Most important is to avoid bare foot shoes when having pain. Eventually after healing the pain and getting feet muscles strong, very gradually ease in to minimal support shoes over many years. You cannot become bare foot runner after having worn shoes all your life. Made this mistake and brought on the plantar fasciosis problem

Oh my god, the relief is intense. I’m so glad I came across your video. This morning I didn’t dare to fully extend my left leg because I was afraid I’d tear my muscle on the bottom part of the foot. After doing these stretches it feels so much more relaxed. My toes also spread much further apart than they usually do. Thank you so much

My heels need to be stretched daily so my plantar fascia doesn't get worse.

Good explanation for 1 specific cause of insertional plantar fasciopathy! Don’t forget it can come from other directions in the chain & from other external biomechanics. The vast majority of my patients have calves so tight they can only achieve 0-10 degrees dorsiflexion which can cause the plantar fascia to take a lot of the load, in which case throwing them into a minimalist shoe aggravates the symptoms

THANK YOU, It’s been hurting for 3 days, i just finished this video and now i’m feeling better with the exercises.

I got plantar fasciitis from not wearing shoes on my hard wood floors, as soon as I started wearing supportive shoes, my feet got better.

Thank you for making this video! I have come across countless videos and not a single one mentioned about the foot wear. Now it all makes sense. I started having plantar fasciopathy since I changed my track shoes. No one, not even doctor or physiotherapist taught me to do the stretches you did and gave the explanation you did. After doing the stretches in the video, I can already feel a difference! This video is life saving. ❤❤❤

Excellent info! A few years back I discovered I had a leg length discrepancy. I was prescribed custom insoles and a heel lift for the shorter leg. Fast forward 3.5 years and I developed horrrrrible plantar fasciitis in the foot that’s associated with the shorter leg. Did some research and decided to make slow, but drastic changes. First removed the custom insoles, then the heel lift. Then I got some barefoot shoes (Splays) and toe spreaders. Just about 6ish months in and my foot feels SOOO much better! Haven’t tried running yet, but I’m confident I’ll be able to get back to it pain-free eventually. I’m just so in shock that the devices that were meant to help ended up being the cause!

Great work guys! Thank you for sharing.

I deal with PF a year and a half and the pain was horrible, it took me some months to recover, did lot of calf stretches and feet massages, I found very useful doing calf stretches before and after my runs and started wearing wide toebox shoes, I work at a office and can’t wear barefoot shoes, the dress code it’s very strict but if found local shoe makers can make me special shoes with a wide toe box and it’s been game changer.

Foam rolling the inside of my calves has also helped me tremendously.

so i did marching band for several years, which involves heavy and extensive calf exercises. i was walking with a 45 deg flexed foot and 20 deg extended foot for hours upon hours in a day. my calves looked great lol but towards my last year, i developed "collapsed arches," which are super common in the marching world. at those times, i wore very minimal "running" shoes in practice with little to no heel albeit a normally compressed toe box. the shoes we marched in for competitions were extremely compressive lol. i occasionally experience intermittent plantar fasciitis in my left foot only, which has improved over the past five years. i find that high ankle shoes or shoes with toe straps (like chacos or sandals) make my pain flare-up, and that sometimes a pop in the ankle is followed by pain relief. pain is also accompained with foot swelling right in the center of the sole of my foot (right where the pain is the worse). is there an explanation for this? i imagine my calf and shin are involved. thanks if someone can explain the biomechanics and etiology, given that marching corps gets very little attention from the sports medicine world😅

Thank you so much. I injured plantar fascia 9 days ago, the physio gave me stretches, and the pain shoots up to 8 immediately. Stretching the front of the foot and the big toe exercise that you demonstrate is the only thing that is giving me relief. I have been running and walking and living barefoot for many years with no issues. But the physio mentioned supports etc, goes against what my body says. I injured the pf climbing in my window and going up too high on the toes of my right foot, the window sill is up passed my belly button and my left foot was flat on that. The injury is more down towards the heel as opposed to the arch. The physio also mentioned heel spur but I feel it is where the fascia inserts on the heel that is traumatised. It does not make sense to me to stretch what I already over stretched. Thank you so much for this video. I need to take the load off a bit and give it time, but that is difficult with everyday life. If anyone else has received this injury from an over stretch/load please let me know if you resolved it. I have other injuries and don't want this to be chronic

Well, I have been wearing barefoot shoes, toe separators, doing exercises to strengthen my feet… for a year! Nothing alleviates my plantar fasciitis, on the contrary, it is very aggravated. I am at my wits end with this.

Going to try these exercises and stretches. I have been wearing barefoot prio shoes by xero for a year straight every day. Its gotten a lot worse during that time so its not from my shoes. Might be from being on my feet all day.

This is the best explanation and the cure!!!. so many other ones want to make it about diet and keto etc...thank you soooo much...

I'm so glad to get this information. I have been wearing shoes like shown here, with the toes compressed and the big toe pushed into the second one. I developed plantar fasciitis recently after some particularly busy days on my feet. I realized that it was the toe compression from the tapered shoes. I read about the barefootsprinter years ago. I realize that our feet were not created for shoes, and most shoes are not created for feet. Thanks, will do these things.

Thank you! Any chance you have recommendations for footwear in the office for plantar fasciopathy?

Thank you so much for this invaluable information that even professionals do not provide. What shoes would you recommend?

1) The streach removes the pain. I have PF combined with reduced ankle mobility in the left side. 2) Here in DK the physio therapists recommend to strength train by putting the front part of the foot on a stair or box, elevate the toes, and then like calf raises, with 3s hold in the top and slow decent to vertical before repeating.

You're a great scientist!

This is a great video very informative

Great video, I have a question. Does this also cause issue on the top side of your feet? Above your toes? I have plantar fascitis and bone spurs too. But my pain is mainly on the top of my feet.

I started experiencing PF three months ago when standing for extended periods on the train while wearing flat shoes, and I’m still suffering now. Furthermore, I’m an active runner and hiker. 😢

I wear barefoot shoes for over 10 years. Since this year I have pain in the explained Arial. It started with running and rope jumping. Well, probably for the most people the video fits there needs but there are also people like me :/

So, I think I got this problem from sitting with my toes curled up... Thanks for walking through the mechanism, this is really helpful.

Thank you!

This is fantastic, thanks!

I'm a little skeptical of what's being mentioned, here, because I developed plantar fasciitis while walking barefoot and in sandals.

Been wearing barefoot shoes for 4 years. It has made a huge difference but I still deal with this issue in small amounts. Stretching helps. But I didn't think about the blood flow.

Tension knots in the side of my calf produce foot pain… try rolling these out.

I've got PF for wearing sandals too much. My podiatrist said I need support and recommended shoes and wearing an insole to help. Not sure wearing non-supportive shoes would work. I like the exercises though.

You should not neglect to stretch your calf muscles to top off all the good advice these guys gave! I wear barefoot shoes (and have for years), but still suffer with PF from tight calf muscles.

Great info, thanks!

Excellent video, might you have one on posterior tibial tendonopathy?

I developed PF from running to much too soon in barefoot shoes , I hope this helps

For me it is the back heel that is feeling the pain. However, when I walk it may hurt a little bit as I walk more, and for longer period it gets better after. May be it has to do with the stretch that the walking gives to my foot. Then I also felt the stretch/pain more when I bend it forward towards different angle of my ankle. So I think it might have to do with my ankle mobility too 🤷 I hope I can get the right stretch to fix the pain so that it's gone forever!

could it be bursitis, I just watched a video on that. The pain for me isn't in the typical plantar area either, more towards the heel on the sole of my foot not towards the arch. I over stretched 9 days ago up on my toes

Thank you for this video. I have mild pain in my heel and I go barefoot a lot and only wear shoes like Altra and Lems that have zero drop and broad toe box. I teach yoga so I roll the bottom of my foot a lot on yoga tuneup balls and some small spikey balls, use to spacers and also thread my fingers between my toes and flex and extend my toes and massage my feet a lot. I don't have any pain up into my arch. But I did jam my big toe several years ago so I do not have full range on my big toe and have been working on flexing my big toe a lot I have been working on trying to gain more movement in my big toe for at least 2 years. I have worked on flexion of my big toe way more than extension. But I have started to work on some flexion. Could the minor pain in my heel have been caused by working on too much flexion? Just recently is the first time I started getting pain in my heel.

what is the best shoes to wear

I agree with the barefoot shoes. I honestly walk around barefoot as much as possible. I have PF. My toes are spread out more than most. My problem is I have to wear leather boots at work. What can be used in a construction field. I work with steel so I'm always doing hot work.

This is Great because I have it in my feet as well but for workout what are the best shoes also would a frozen water bottle be helpful to roll the foot across?

i have already tried everything. but icing and stretching made it worse. i have watched around 30 videos or more over half year and read numerous articles on how to treat it. nothing has worked even if i stayed for 2weeks or more. calves are as loose as possible and mobility is great. i noticed after swimming i feel much better and more relaxed foot. i also noticed serious trigger points up my hamstrings ,gracilis and painful adductor muscles. when i walk or run my toes are as much stretched as possible and i have only noticed when i took my gait test at local running shoe store. it looked horrible. this is the first video where i see this kind of stretch and not an actual fascia. i ll give it a go.

Amazing video 💪

I developed issues with plantar fasciitis from minimalist shoes with wide toe boxes. Thinking it’s because my shoes were too thin, people used to wear sandals yes, but they also didn’t walk on hard surfaces all day. While rolling out and stretching are good I’d be skeptical of this as a primary measure and recommend going to a physician.

Thanks for your valuable information but please can u tell us which types of trainers we have to wear thanks

Thanks for a great video. I'm battling PF for 2 years. I cry every day. What sneakers/shoes do you recommend?

Thank you so much

Just saw your post. Q. So, what kind of shoes 👞 you require people with this foot 🦶 pain get? Do you have place to look 👀 for these shoes 👞 to help relieve this pain? I’m having this pain all the time in my right foot 🦶. And have felt this pain in my left 🦶 but it’s mild. I’ve tried everything and still have this pain.

What's up man, looking around I found that I most likely have posterior tibial tendonitis. There's this little bugger right below the inside of my ankle that just hurts for no reason some times, and also when I push into it. I don't know what to do or how to treat it (or even if there is a treatment) I have functional flat foot, my ankles just cave inward if I let them, I'm wearing barefoot shoes now, but this has been going on for a lot of time. If you could make a video that'd be awesome but even if you reply I'll be grateful, cheers

I'm not sure if I have a plantar tear. I've been minimalist for a while. I go to a lot of standing concerts and started working out my legs again. Above my right heel is so tender/painful right now. Not sure what to do, but using toe spacers and massaging my calves and shins.

I wear altra shoes (zero drop, lagre toe box) and i ve got plantar fascitis issues. so shoes might not the main reason.what you say about opposite streching makes sense

It's so frustrating looking for help with PF and mortons neuroma because there's so much conflicting information out there.

These tips can help, but are not always a pain relief. PF issues are due to various reasons. Depending on various problems. Different people, different problems ! There isn't a one fits all, solution ! One must try out many therapies, and exercises. Rest is good, especially when the inflammation is really high. Because, it IS an inflammation of the area, and of the tissues, at it's peak of pain. The circulation issues can only be treated after rest and less or no inflammation ! So don't do these exercises when you're in high pain ! Various stretching helps a lot of people, not me, though ! I'm already hyper lax, and an ex pro ballet dancer, so stretching has near to no effect on me. It just irritates the tendons. Knots in my calfs was one of the key problems. Resolved with hook therapy, and massages. 👍 Other problems are lower back, ilico sciatica nerve pinches, = accupuncture, and knots in thighs. = massages. Ultrasound therapy has helped greatly on heels/feet against inflammation and for better blood circulation. I also have great relief and am painfree when walking in leather shoes with soft insoles, and a hard heel of about 5cm. Strange, but true ! Although, I used to always be barefoot or sneakers! There you go. So, one has to try out various things !

I developed plantar fasciitis after doing a lot of digging with a shovel. I think the pressure of the shovel in the arch of my foot caused damage to the tissues. It wasn't right away after digging but a few weeks later. I wonder if other people damage their feet like this and aren't making the connection.

Hi, I've found the Hoka Bondi 7 (&8) to be the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Could it be making my pf worse?

Plz explain me in hindi

I live in a village and we always wear flip flops (thongs). Never running shoes. I was learning a classical Indian dance called Odissi and from that my heel pain started. Plus I was running on a cement surface barefoot. It has been about 4 months that I am suffering with this heel pain on my right foot. Pain on waking and then slowly improving as the day goes on. If I stand for long my foot starts to hurt. So are the exercises the same for me since my pain is not caused by running shoes?

Big toe downward stretch gave immediate relief

Holy, how was this video made 3 weeks after I got this, I don’t know how I got it initially, might have been when I was doing calf raises overdoing it. Cause it started hurting a day after.
