    I have suffered with plantar fasciitis in both feet for around 2 years. It does tend to flare up and get worse at times, and which foot is worse changes too - lately it has been the right foot. I have also had Achilles tendinitis. I have been to my podiatrist, tried custom orthotics, icing, stretching, a vibrating roller that claimed to help, so many different things, nothing has really made much of a difference, but I am so happy to say that this video has helped drastically. After the first session I noticed the change and now having done it four nights in a row, it seems to be improving more and more each day. I have gone from crippling pain all day every day, walking slowly with a limp in order to get around at work (where I am on my feet all day), to what I would describe as more discomfort than pain. I can walk without a limp, although it is taking some time to get out of the habit! Sitting here now writing this I have no pain, whereas before my foot would have been throbbing in pain even with no pressure on it. I am emotional thinking about how much better my life is going to be without the constant foot pain!! Thank you so, so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis for four months or so, affecting my mobility drastically. I stopped taking my dogs on walk, I stopped hiking, I hated waking through a grocery store. After one week of these exercises there was a dramatic difference and I’m having pain free days. If I skip a day I can feel the pain start to come back, so now I’m making this 20 minute video a priority! Thank you so much.

    I'll refrain from calling you the Messiah, but during the first session, when we did the golf ball roll, I could feel how tender the spot was and that we were possibly on to something. I immediately felt more balanced and the tension in my foot had relaxed so exponentially. I woke the next morning and while I still had heel pain and what feels like knives poking my heel, I could walk without limping. After two nights of this routine, I woke up with almost no pain.
    Just the simple advice of spreading your toes has made a world of difference.
    I took a day off from the routine. I did the routine again this evening and the tender spot on my arch has improved so much. I know it'll take time to truly heal and rehab. But I have been stretching and rolling, icing, using a night splint and massage gun. All those things helped to varying degrees, but this is the only thing that really feels progressively better. (I got a cortisone shot and considered getting another one, but I knew if I did, I would fall into the habit of not rehabbing my foot/calf and wearing crappy shoes.)
    I am so so grateful for this video and your expertise.

    Thank you so much for sharing this information! I thought I needed orthopedic surgery or something!
    I’ve been waking up in the morning lately with my arches so tight that I limp like an old man immediately when I get out of bed. (I’m 37 as I post this comment.)
    I thought your body just kinda broke down and atrophied as you age and pain is a part of life.
    But turns out there are simple, inexpensive, highly effective exercises you can do at home that magically unlock your aching foot muscles, no surgery or medicine needed? And I don’t have to go to the doctor and pay for a visit?
    You saved my feet! 👣 Thank you again! 👏👏

    I am anxious to try this routine. I have been dealing with crippling pain for about 5 months. I am and avid tennis and pickleball player and I have had to shut it all down. I am in account management so I drive and walk on concrete floors all day so it’s difficult to heal.
    I have tried physical therapy, different exercises with not much success. Lately, I have been doing electric shock wave treatments.
    I sure hope this helps so I can get back to the activities that I love.

      Way to go! You are doing all the things. I also have clients doing shock wave treatment for plantar fasciitis with relief. You'll have to keep us posted with how these exercises go! We love using toe spacers as well to keep working on the mobility in the foot and looking further up the chain at hips, pelvic spine, core... We also have more videos addressing foot pain and connections to further up the chain you might enjoy. Keep up the good work!

    I've recently acquired my very own case of PF and oh my God! I also have a bunion on the same foot and I believe that the bunion is the primary cause. I went to the doctor because the pain was so bad I couldn't even walk. He had zero suggestions for the plantar fasciitis and when I told him I needed to think about and get affairs in order before surgery, he jumped up out of his chair and told me call him when I was ready and he walked out the door. No recommendations... Actually that's not true, after pushing his fat porky finger into the most painful spot of my foot, he told me I needed to stretch. Him sticking his finger in my foot was so painful I busted out into tears. I'm going to follow this and I will check back in in a week.

    Thank you for these exercises. It didn’t heal my plantar fasciitis in one week but I have definitely seen some improvement. When I first started, I had excruciating pain in my heel, worse in the mornings, but still all day and could barely walk. Pain is tolerable now but standing or walking for more than 5 minutes is still very painful (I also have a heel spur). I will continue this every morning in hopes that I can get back to walking a decent distance soon! 😊

    Hi thanks! If i have plantar faciitis in one foot do I still need to do both sides. And also when you do the exercise where you are on one knee forward and bending to the side which is helping the plantar the front leg or the one that is bent back. The last exercise also which is helping the plantar faciitis the foot that is on the mat or the foot that is going back and forth. I Hope i don't sound confusing, i'm just trying to figure out how to just work the one foot that has the plantar and not both feet and cut down on the time it takes to do this, trying to do the exercises 2 or 3 times a day so i only want to work the one foot that has the plantar.

    • @DrMelissaOleson
      @DrMelissaOleson  Год назад +1

      Great question! I typically have my clients do both sides to keep everything even. It's more about getting to the cause of the pain verses just trying to take care of 1 side. I totally get the time factor so tell my clients if short on time do 1 side, but try to occasionally work both. The kneeling exercise it's not specific to 1 side it's looking else where for tightness that could be contributing like the hips. That nerve glide is to be felt down the front of the leg that is in the back. The last exercises the foot that is on the yoga mat is the one that is working on the mobility. Keep up the great work! We also have lots of other foot pain videos you might enjoy!

    Dr. Olson - thank you for this video. I’m only second day in, but seeing some lessening of pain in walking, already. I do have a question indirectly related to the videos: My muscles tend to cramp easily, particularly calves and hamstrings. If stretching one muscle, the corresponding muscle group that is supposed to relax often cramps…, making me have to stop the stretch mid-process. Any suggestions? I’m a male, 65 years old, in good health and fit for my age. I am also subject to leg cramps at night. (My apologies to all if this is off topic.) Thanks.

      @DrMelissaOleson  10 месяцев назад

      Such a great question! A lot of my clients experience leg cramps, which can be from a number of different things so I always recommend checking in with your doctor for what is best for you. Hydration and electrolytes are a good place to start! It's recommended to drink 1/2 your body weight in ounces per day. I have been working on this one and definitely notice a difference when I am dehydrated. Keep up the great work!
