plantar facitis

[BigBlueHen53]

Hi! If you can tolerate it I would recommend to stand on a softball, the fuzzy yellow green ones and move you foot over it and put as much pressure as you can on it then move it up a little more and put more pressure on it. It should help alot.

Tennis ball?

I had this and was able to get the special insoles from Walmart that really helped

I tried the Dr Scholl's ones but they didn't help. My podiatrist even gave me some, but nope.

The important part is the customizing as every foot is different and the location of the recess/cutout and the surrounding padding needs to align perfectly with the person's foot.

Do you feel something like a knot when palpating along the plantar tendon underneath the arch of your foot? It is not always the heel alone in need of being relieved.

I had it two years ago, it felt like I was walking on bone. I had no odea what it was, and I was toilet training a pup at the time

Crocs saved my life. I also found a orthopedic guy on youtube who said to never bend the foot backward; instead, bend the toes over to relieve the tension on the tendon, which has been stressed. There is also a new insole called Akusoli, if you fancy doing battle with their terrible website. I hope it's resolved soon for you.

Tennis ball?

Yes, this is also a great way to remedy it. I used one of the dogs' soft rubber balls to start.

It has to be squishier kind, like you get to play with a dog. Apologies I'm not athletic

Stop walking around barefoot or sockfoot and buy yourself a good fitting pair of cowboy boots

I had it A few years ago. I started wearing supportive socks and had purchased some insoles by Dr. Scholls. This seamed to help a lot. I hav also lost about 45 pounds since then as well. I haven’t had any issues in about two years.
