My physiotherapist had me doing all three of the exercises you recommended when I had plantar fasciitis and they worked great! After a few months of physio I was all better but a few years later I got plantar fasciitis again. After my second bout and another few months of physio, my physiotherapist advised to keep doing the leg stretch exercise against the wall regularly but in the shower. The warm water from the shower warms up the muscles and it makes the exercise easier. I've been doing that leg stretch exercise in the shower for several years now and have not had a return of my plantar fasciitis.

Do you know what helped me, the only thing really, is an orthotic arch support in my shoes. I buy them a half size bigger to slip in that insert. I don't use them much now, but when I feel my foot start to tighten up, in they go! It really did the trick. The balls and exercises didn't.

@kimberlycooper4170 Жыл бұрын

@@annespellberg7173 the same for me! I continue to always buy shoes and sandals with support for high arches to prevent reoccurrence. Although, sometimes I walk barefoot.

@curtisclement5467 11 ай бұрын

Calf raises are also an excellent exercise to strengthen the plantar fascia (if loaded appropriately of course) - see E3Rehab videos on plantar fascia pain. Also, if you perform it off a step or on a slant board, so you get a full stretch+2-3 second pause at the bottom, then it will essentially act as a loaded stretch as well. This has the advantage over static stretching in that the extra strength built over the long term will reduce the risk of your calves getting over-worked and thereby tightening, but static stretching has the advantage of being able to be performed much more frequently and without recovery constraints.

About 10 yrs ago , I started to have tightness, cramp and pain in soles of my feet . Saw podiatrist - he thought it was due to poor circulation , who sent me to a vascular surgeon , who did many tests and prescribed medication , which I could not tolerate . It is such a relief to know that my symptoms were due to tight calves , I intend to follow your advise, I am certain , I will get better. Thank you very much Dr Harlow, Keep up the good work.

As I have been ill the last 3 weeks I have lost a bit of weight and lost muscle in my calves so I am doing your calf exercises together with bar work. Unfortunately I have scoliosis with a protruding spine and where a brace but with the result have a severe balance problem so now walk with a crutch or walker. I am wearing Skechers shoes which has helped me a lot

You might find it helpful to get a proper biomechanical assessment from a specialist musculoskeletal podiatrist. They specialise in understanding hoot function in walking. Clearly something is going on in one foot but not the other. You may benefit from custom made insoles to correct the timing cycle of your gait. Please make sure you choose an HCPC registered professional with at least 5 years experience and who specialises in biomechanics! Good luck Francesca Barrow

I’ve been having problems with a sharp, burning pain in my right foot below my right little toe. Worse in the morning, then ok after I’ve walked on it a little bit and then if I walk too much it starts aching. At first when it was really bad and I couldn’t walk on it they thought it was a stress fracture and I wore a boot for three weeks after which it plateaued at the level I’m at now. Very frustrating.
