      Excellent professional advice. Talking about avoiding too much time on concrete is a big one for me! Ive lived w/spur >decade. As much as possible, I use most all excersizes, but limiting time on slab flooring is something not every doctor mentions. Second floor/+ wooden based flooring & limiting the concrete slab time is so helpful, but this is the only doctor Ive heard mention this. TYVM.

    I'm a 71 year old woman and I've been in so much pain with pf for over a month, mostly sharp pain in my heel. I watched the whole video. A lot of the exercises I already knew, but the thing that really helped me was the brace that you showed that went up the entire leg. I have a rigid brace that goes up to my calf. Last night, I sat on the couch, put the brace on, kept my leg straight and elevated about 8". I stayed that way for an hour and a half. I woke up this morning with no stabbing pain! My arch is sore, but I had no stabbing pain in my heel. I am amazed that so much of this is caused by the tight hamstring and calf. I went to see a podiatrist who had zero advice. Thank you so much!

    Suffered for 2 years with this. Got through 12 therapy sessions with little improvement. Then I asked my therapist that I heard about something called cold laser. She walked out of the room without saying a word and brought back this machine. We put on the safety goggles and she used the cold laser on both my legs. She said that I would never be 100% better but she was going to try to get me to be 90% better. I'm glad my friend mentioned to me about cold laser. Today I am 100% better because of it.

    Hi, I’m a 74 year old female. Before Covid my husband and I used to walk 10k a day. Not able to leave home because of restrictions by our Government here in Australia, we couldn’t get out to walk. Now all the restrictions have been lifted, we are back walking again, but of late I have developed PF. This video I found today was so easy to listen to, and the info was amazing. I’m going to do the exercises you recommend. May I also say, it is nice to hear a doctor give advice without trying to do a big sell. God bless you. Veronica Donnelly

    I had the surgery on both of my heels at the same time in the early 80’s. It took a while to heal, but it was worth it. Casts and crutches, time off work. Couldn’t wear high heels again for a long time It has come back on both heels, one worse than the other in the last year. I’m so glad I can do stretches, no surgery. Thank you Doc!

    Very excited to try this out. Will update with results in a month
    Update: I feel pain reduced by some bit already in a week.
    Update: 4th week update- pain in heel starts only with an hour or so of walking bare foot. That has improved quite a bit as I used to feel pain within 2-3 minutes.
    Glad it is working for me. Thanks

      That is not uncommon, it will take a lot of time and consistency, keep up everything you're doing with good supportive shoes, maybe you need to go up sizes in shoes? maybe you need to get some orthotics made? or just purchase good ones. I believe the massage is the most helpful.

My left foot is almost completely better now, right one is a little behind but I was also in a boot for a month and a half because I couldn't bear weight on my foot. Also workers comp and they're playing games with me lol. Trying to say it's arthritis so they don't have to pay. So I've been researching what to do to get better and doing it on my own. Really bad system they don't care about people. Still working just with restrictions.

    First, this is a fabulous video! I am an RN, EMT, MT , veteran, and retired pro athlete (skiing). I have had trouble with healing my plantar fasciitis (can't sleep because of right foot/leg pain combo, imagine that pain killers don't work and surgery is not an option) with the exception of a hiking in the mountains for 2 months where every morning I would walk the stream bed near my campsite. The water was near freezing the bottom was sandy with pebbles, omg it felt soooo good to stand in and walk in and I did it every day to start my day, just stay in that icy water until my ankle and heel went numb like 15 min or so. was really relieving and refreshing. I did this trip to focus on healing me...all of me. I got up early (yes, crack of dawn) the pebbles basicly did what the rollers did. Id make breakfast, play with the dog a bit (enjoy the reduced pain), then after an hour or so start my morning stretching then hike multi terrain for 5-7 miles...I'm telling you I have not been able to replicate those relieving results...after 3 solid weeks the majority of my pain was gone. when I got back to work within a couple months (despite stretching every day) all the pain returned, foot, knee, hip) racking my brain as to why I cannot replicate the results of my mountain hiking excursion. I have some results with a tilt (balance) board and wearing sketchers workforce shoes, however I do not have arch problems, so I find shoes with built in arch supports, to increase exterior-lateral pressure, making my particular plantar faciitis problem escalate. Are there insoles for this? I am really needing to decrease my weight gain from the pain and missing my normal active life. I am extremely sensitive to vibrations in my feet so stim is not an option (i feel by vibrations, after a loss of nerve perception/control following a tbi and c4-7 fracture) recovery was interesting enough. but i either feel pain, or numb, or nothing & nothing is what i'm going for (lol) fyi, this is over 23 yr accident, I've been deailing with Plantar Faciitis about 4 years now...16 hr shifts following covid made the pain non stop....along the exterior-lateral and medial aspects of my foot & heel. Interested in any Ideas.

    Your information is gold to me. I'm currently in a situation. I also have a bunion on my right foot. My left hip is tilting forward. My hands have osteoarthritis and I have carpool tunnel syndrome. Currently in physical therapy and getting exams of VAT, ENG, ENT, and a brain MRI. It's kept me out if work now since December. I'm getting fitted for my orthodics ordered finally tomorrow. I'm very frustrated with arthritis. I just grabbed my frozen water bottle.. I'm about to decide to file disability. I don't know if I can be approved. I'm 52 and my health is very demanding with immune deficiency. It's tuff. Yeah. It just really hit me like a rock the last three years. Finally I'm seeing doctors. I never knew how painful it can be. Okay. I'm miserable me with some great humor for now. Thx for the explanation (!).🙂

    *Brilliant video* ❗❗❗Last month I developed foot pain suddenly. Immediately, I stopped wearing my massage flip flops and started wearing my runners with proper foot support which caused my left heel pain to go away within 48 hours and reduce my right foot pain by 50%. Then I have been watching videos which encouraged me to do stretches for my feet which does help.
    Found your video today! During this video I have been following along doing your suggestions. Fortunately I already have some of the items you are using! So far I have done the foot stretches, scraping (instead of a knife I use a type of guasha tool which works well), massaging under my heels with the massage balls (has the pokes), and I used the guasha tool to massage my calves and legs. I assessed before and after and surprisingly, after only being half way through your video, my pain has decreased significantly! Yay!
    Planning to watch the rest of the video and keep up with your suggestions.
    Thank you❗Thank you❗Thank you❗
    Sadly I can no longer wear my massage sandals as slippers at home. As a back-up plan I am using a slip in massaging insole into my at-home runners.

    Omg! I am soo grateful for your video. In this 41 min post and going through it step-by-step with you I am already feeling a bit better. I am doing this every day to make this go away. It's been years having this horrific pain with no relief. My biggest issue is the right shoe/sneaker but Nothing works and I have spent hundreds of $$ and I still to this day can't find a shoe. All in all THANK YOU for sharing this with us. I am hopeful now that my pain will decrease.

    The cheap "rocker" stretcher is fantastic! The instructions do say to wear shoes...! I have a frozen great toe and compensated by throwing my leg out....after 50 years I found a PT who finally figured that out and stretched from foot to hips, part by part and worked on glutes, balancing muscle strength... Also, a step to practice "stairs" strengthened my legs better than anything by relearning how to do stairs.... No stairs in my house so that exercise was huge!

    one doctor says don`t stretche it... the other one says do it. it is hard to get the right solution. i have been massaging and stretching it gives short term relief but dose not help heeling

    • @DrTomBiernacki
      @DrTomBiernacki  3 года назад +15

      Stretching is not bad, the point is stretching an injured muscle is not the best idea. Getting rid of the pain and soreness and letting it heal sometimes is the best first step. Then gaining flexibility later.

    • @ricardorivera6543
      @ricardorivera6543 Год назад +4

      I would like to add my input. No real expert here, but treat facitis like how you would treat knee pain. It is commonly known now that squatting knees over toes not only stretches the ligaments, but strengthens them which in turn increased mobility, which is I think what is necessary here.

    • @kimberlymorgan1767

    • @GurayNY
      @GurayNY Год назад +5

      @@kimberlymorgan1767 check your feet if you have arc or flat. if it is flat most probably your skeleton out of alignment. I would buy Birkenstock Sandals and use it 7/24 and let the body fix itself. i dont have enough arc so i dont walk bare foot even at home. that sandal gives you arc support so plantar muscle will come back to its normal length and it will heal. wish you pain free days.

  • @magnusengelmark

    I get relief by:
    1) Single leg weighted calf raises with toes elevated on a threshold or similar. 3x10 Left and Right, 3 times a week.
    2) Stretch of foot both ways 10 times, twice a day
    3) Splaying massage under foot
    4) Changed the way I walk after consulting a PT, push off with foot/calf.
    5) Insoles with good support.
    I hope this is gone in 6 months..
    I feel improvement, but I try and test the foot by running or boxing now and then and running messed up the foot badly for a couple of days. But I learned from doing these tests that I can get much less bad consequence by using a cold pack on the foot a couple of times a day after having pushed it hard. It gets me back to baseline quickly, say one day.
    I’ve had left foot plantar fasciitis since July 2023, so 5 months now. It may have something to do with my left hamstring tear 3 months earlier which took 10 weeks to heal, then I got back to running and got plantar fasciitis quickly… I don’t know.

    I began having PF after I gained weight but I found that Birkenstock sandals really helped, it was way better than a custom made orthotic. I now wear the Atacama style Birkenstock because the rubber sole keeps the shape better and keeps the foot in place than the cork sole.

    @mr.nonamanadus4463 5 месяцев назад

    Everyone is different, best advice is moderation and learn from your own feedback.
    A tennis ball made mine worse, massage gun has minimally effective.
    I have been doing a lot of different stretches to loosen up the hip and hamstring/calfs.
    I do agree that shoe and inserts are a big factor in aggravating my foot. Steel toe boots on cement are particularly problematic.
    My belief it is weak/imbalanced muscles in conjunction with poorly coordination in the ankle. I picked up a yoga mat and have been doing balance squats (one leg in front of the other) and can feel my feet getting tired. Then, I splint up for a recovery phase. The biggest problem is that the rest phase is interrupted by walking.
    Recently I added Voltaren to the treatment for inflammation because I can't ice my foot throughout the day.

    I have planters fasciitis, collapsed arches, bone spurs, small bunions on my big toes and slight hammer toes. I have osteoarthritis a bad back, hips, knees and ankles. My doctor said I need to try to rest and stay off my feet but, I have a toddler so it's impossible. I honestly don't know how I manage to get through a day and get everything done and still manage to take the baby out to play, go for walks and so on. I'm hoping I make it until she's at least 13 before I need surgery. I have custom orthotics and I do all these stretches and exercises but, Im still in excruciating pain especially when I first wake up 😩

    So much useful information. Thank you. I have plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, I had hip surgery so I have tight muscles and I have to do a lot of good stretching and thank you so much for this information. Lol I have that prostretch and wasn't using it with a shoe on most of the time.

    What also helps is to stand at the edge of a side walk curb, toes on the curb edge and lift and drop your ankles

    I was out of shape I realize, but my heel didn’t start hurting until we replaced carpet with vinyl floors (concrete underneath). I started wearing my kids crocs and it made it better , but you just stated I need to wear my expensive shoes, even in the house. 😊 I need to exercise more.
