Foot doctors (podiatrists) teach us that tight foot and calf muscles will worsen your plantar fasciitis. You can soothe or prevent the pain with an easy stretch routine to keep your feet free of pain. And when you finish your day, use a plantar fasciitis night brace to avoid having the morning pain in your heel and arch.
CALF STRETCH PROCEDURE:
-Stand an arm’s length from a wall.
-Place your right foot behind your left.
-Slowly and gently bend your left leg forward.
-Keep your right knee straight and your right heel on the ground.
-Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds and release. Repeat three times.
-Reverse the position of your legs, and repeat.
You should also wear a night brace to avoid the sharp arch or heel pain you feel when you wake up in the morning with your first step. Most podiatrists report excellent results with a plantar fasciitis night brace because it pre-stretches your plantar fascia. While it’s not a cure for plantar fasciitis, the night brace keeps you from having to start the morning with pain. The Stretch-Away Plantar Fasciitis Night Brace is especially recommended because it is effective, costs less, and is very comfortable to wear at night.
