Podiatrist Tips & Tricks For Plantar Fasciitis

Hi, everyone. I’m going to share three effective tips to find relief from Plantar Fasciitis right at home. 

Tip 1- Stretching Exercise 

Fasciitis often results from tightness in the ligament and tendons; stretching exercises can help elevate this tightness and reduce pain. Try stretching your calf muscle, Achilles tendon, and the bottom of your foot regularly with the towel stretching.

Tip 2- Ice Massage 

Ice massage or a frozen water bottle can be incredibly calming and relaxing for Plantar Fasciitis. Roll a frozen water bottle or use an ice pack on the bottom of your foot for 5 to 10 minutes every day; this helps reduce inflammation.

Tip 3- Support Footwear Wearing 

Supportive footwear is crucial for managing Plantar Fasciitis. Find your shoe with good arch support and cushioning to restrain strain on your feet. Also, consider using prefabricated insoles or custom orthotic inserts for additional support.
