Oh my gosh never in my life was I ever gonna wear crocs🤮 BUT you’ve made me decide to get a pair to wear at home, I’m home with chronic pain & fatigue pretty much all of the time so home footwear is my main footwear. Had PF for over 2 months now, being even less active than before is not doing me any good! Thank you for your advice, I’ll get straight into it & hopefully I’ll be walking normal again!🙏🏻
I've been troubled by P.F. pain since the beginning of the year. I sent for a 50$ ankle strap "CareSole Plantar X-Wrap" advertised on Facebook: tried it for 2 months but it was totally useless, no improvement whatsoever so have returned it for a refund. Watched your 2 videos last week and then sat watching TV with a tennis ball rolling under my foot each evening AND did the big-toe stretch the following mornings before I got out of bed...Result: MAGIC! Almost no pain at all for that first walk to the bathroom! You are my Heros! It's easy to continue with this as part of my get-up routine to ensure it heals completely and keeps the pain from returning. Thank You So Much ! Kind regards from a Brit living in Greece.
I was so mad when I woke up the next morning after doing these exercises and the top of my foot hurt. After a few minutes of walking, the pain in the top of my foot was gone and my plantar fasciitis was GONE!!! I take back all the blue words I used towards you both. Thank you very much!
Another easy but effective treatment for PF is to roll your foot over a frozen water bottle on a towel. I do this every morning after I get up, and it has helped greatly. This was recommended by my podiatrist. Thanks for your great videos guys!
A couple of years ago, I was having plantar fasciitis pain in both feet. Bob and Brad had a video describing a foot taping procedure for plantar fasciitis. I ordered the special tapes and followed their instructions. That was instantly helpful. Then, watching more from Bob and Brad taught me the calf stretches. Those proved so helpful that I could stop the taping.
Watching here in the Philippines,im 37 years old.I have plantar faciitis,thank you for your demo of home treatment, this is so helpful for us,those who have plantar faciitis.I dont have money to go to the doctor,thats why i will do home treatment like you teach,thank you so much,this is very big help fo us especially like me,dont have money.
I have plantar fasciitis and it's been getting better because I've been wearing a compression sock and sleep with my foot against the wall and I tell you it's been working!
I dont have money to go to the doctor,thats why i will do home treatment like you teach,thank you so much,this is very big help fo us especially like me,dont have money.
Almost 3 years of pain, injection that never helped, expensive high arch shoes, devices and in the end it was chucking it all in favor of a pair of flat sole almost archness, pull on round toed sneakers, alternating with bare feet on my hardwood floors, and yoga toe spreaders that fixed me. It hurt really bad for a few weeks, but I have been completely cured now since early spring. I can wear any shoes, go barefoot in or outdoors, but still do my stretches and toe spreaders. I belong to a line dance club too.
After dealing with this pain for years and heel spurs, my heels would feel like they were on fire, I went on ebay ordered a pair of XERO barefoot shoes added a pair of insoles from some asics gel shoes i had and after one month of walking my dogs every day in these shoes my plantar pain is 100% gone, took about 3 days to get used to the shoes, now they are my most comfortable shoes, also the pain started to go away week by week, so be consistent
@@alicegarcia9873 I ordered hokas bondi 7, wore them for about 8 months and my pf got slowly worse. What’s helping me more now in a few days is flat shoes with a zero drop in the arch. Made by Altra. They still have some cushion which I think I need with my active lifestyle but a big wide toe box and zero drop is the keys imo.
Thanks guys. I was doing those stretching exercises but the outside bottom of my feet was still hurting. I started to wonder if i really had Planters fasciitis. Because my feet only hurt when i went walking for exercise. Other than that my feet never hurt. Then i saw the walking part. No one ever said it might be the way i was walking, except you guys. My heels were hitting the ground. I tried changing the way i walked like you pointed out. WOW NO MORE PAIN! I tried all kinds of inserts, shoes nothing helped. Then you guys show up. Thanks again
I had this crippling condition for months until I tried a usb rechargable vibrating foot roller. What an absolute miracle it was - once or twice a day for about 2 weeks and the pain was gone ! Life has returned to normal !!
When I was eight years younger, about 57, I had plantar fasciitis. My PT had me do an exercise of picking up standard size marbles! Yep. I'd pick them up with my great toe, mostly. I did that for about two times each day. It worked. 😃
I had this plantar fasciitis, got layoff from work … watched Bob how he applied the tape on the leg and feet, I didn’t it and I use a thick shock with some Velcro and used at night….. After a week I was better but after week 3 I was almost normal with some pain, it finally got better, I had no pain!! I can’t thank them enough for helping me! It works !!!❤
Thank you so much for this video. I have finally came to realise that my foot injury from 3 years ago has not only given me ankle issues but also plantar fasciitis. Will be doing these daily now.
Took one full year to finally be free of the agonizing pain from PF. I did everything everyday - ice roll, massage, stretching, pain cream. The healing process was probably prolonged due to my stand up busy job.
@@umis941do calf stretch and towel Stretch for plantar fasciitis, each for 5 min in morning and night. I did this for 1.5 months and my pain had reduced to 40% and the course of my PT is 3 months
I've had it for 6 months now and it's not getting better. But I'm required to wear killer steel toe shoes at work. Plus I'm flat footed and 6 feet tall. I still need crutches in the morning.
@@umis941I’ve been dealing with it now for almost 2 years (I’m 36), also dealing with a bulging disc and sciatic pain. If the PF isn’t better in a year from now, I’m gunna seriously consider surgery for it
To be very honest I checked this video just 3 days back and started doing only stretching of the foot forward and backwards and it has helped me , that sharp pain in my lower side of both heels has gone , however it needs to be continued so that it will be helpful for me , otherwise I had unbearable pain in the morning while walking and the inflammation...omg , throughout the days I would be tensed that what will help me without taking painkillers , thank you so much for guidance .
This is perfect. I spent a long day walking in Munich recently (I'm in my 50's ). The next day, my right foot, ahead and behind the ball of my foot, and the middle of the base of my foot were so sore. I ended up liming around, which then gave me a pain just below and towards the outside of my knee joint. I was like an old man ! It took a few days to settle down ( I limited walking, and stretched and massaged my foot by hand morning and evening ). I've just ordered massage balls on foot of watching this video. I'll investigate one of those massage gun things too. Thank you for this video ! Greetings from prague, CZ
All of a sudden I couldn’t walk. Couldn’t move my right foot. Then I came across your video and did the exercises and my foot is at least not too stiff and painful.
There are some good temporary fixes in the video but if you want to get rid of PF you need a stronger focus on strengthening your lower leg muscles, gastrocnemius, soleus, posterior and anterior tibialis, and your peroneal muscles (longus and brevis). You’re basically building up your capacity so that it’s higher than the loading you’re putting on your legs/feet. Heel raise variations and gradually increasing weight is a good place to start. Start out slow and don’t do too much too fast or you’ll be pretty sore for a few days to a week depending on what kind of endurance/strength you have.
just want to say thank you. watched this n couple others last night n its changed me foot pain so much for the better. in just 1 day the stretches of me foot while sitting on me bed. hurt like hell but really made a difference while walking today. still hurts n sore but tons better. ive ordered a night splint n a roller thing to do daily exercises with. again thank you. x
This was so very helpful. Thank you so much. The stretching immediately helped me walk. Pain gone right away. I really appreciate this information. God bless you!
Recently i visited saudia arab for my umrah pray and walked almost 8km daily due to some reasons..its been more than 45 days i really feel pain below my both feet, specially in the morning.....chcked up with online dr but i gues he didnt properly diagnosed it...am gona try your home remedies hope i will get the releif
VERY VERY helpful! I started walking 3 miles a day and developed PF very quickly. Thanks for this! I will try it for sure! and HELLO from a fellow youtuber!
Great video! So glad you finished with footwear, I am a huge Altra fan! Walking in foot-shaped shoes and barefoot through the grass have been game changers for me
Dr. Berg said when you have pf all you can see here it is worst you can do for your PF. You should stretch your foot in opposite way. And it really helpful.
I play a lot of badminton, the Plantar and Achilles pain have been a bother. Had the Achilles fixed and then started to have pain at the bottom of my heels. I've got to say the night splints have been, surprisingly, quite usefully! I've only been using them for about a week, tried one night without them and can definitely feel the different. I now wake up with almost no pain and the sore spots when i press on my heels are almost gone. Thanks so much for the tips!!
i comment before why the hell morning its such pain , now it makes sense the foot heal in a odd way , thats why the first step is so bad , which mean why it can go on for long without healing ...
Transitioning to barefoot shoes was the only thing that got rid of my plantar fascitis pain. Building muscle in the feet is the only way to take the stress off the plantar fascia.
My symptoms are in the middle of the arch, not the heel pain, coming even closer to the toes (not quite metatarsalgia-had that too, not fun). Ice bottle, stretches with the big toe, strengthening ankle, calves stretches including the slanted board, rolling over a hard small ball of my feet, and calf raises...nothing works. Using some inserts, no inserts, arch support, etc. and so far nothing helps. Followed B&B exercises, sadly...this too does not work.
I have to let people know my experience. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and did physical therapy for it. I had multiple visits with a podiatrist. I also spent hundreds of dollars on new high-end shoes, as well as custom insoles and custom night splints and used 2 separate foot therapy devices. All of this was not helping, plus I never really believed I had plantar fasciitis. Because of my suspicions, I started doing some research online and found a video that explained everything. The real cause of my pain (in both feet) was a pair of shoes I had worn the day before the pain started which caused my heals to be bruised…..simple as that.
@@ahmadalh5234 The very first thing I did was stop using the custom insoles which caused my right foot to start having Tarsal Tunnel pain. Then I stopped wearing the one pair of high-end shoes that I kept. The doctor’s script was to stabilize my ankles which wasn’t what I needed. Then I purchased New Balance shoes…one is a FRESH FOAM ROAV 1 and the other is FRESH FOAM 1080 v11. These shoes have excellent padding and helped me from putting too much pressure on the heals of my feet when I walked which was something else I did….kept from putting too much pressure on my heals when I walked. I continued to use a vibrating water foot bath. I believe I may have used Voltaren gel on my heals. Voltaren is a topical anti-inflammatory. I didn’t need to use acetaminophen much. I used a walker ALOT. I gradually got better over a couple of months (but it took me 4 months to diagnose myself). During those couple of months I was not very mobile. If I had been working at a job, I would have had to go on short term disability, which is typically a health care benefit available through an employer.
Hoping this helps me! This is a very frustrating condition. I have been hesitant to really stretch or massage the area because I thought that would just exacerbate the already-inflamed area. I’ll give these tips a try though!!
My foot doctor gave me shots in my heal, and I wore the brace to keep my foot straight while I slept. It still took a year to two years to quit hurting. It was the most painful thing I had to put up with while working.
@@ritaschiferl3615 buy the book Plantar Fasciitis survival guide by William Prowse. It's improved by symptoms massively since my last comment, I'm not 100% fixed but I'll be there and you will be too 👍
Thank you! I'm goiig to start the exercises tomorrow. I ordered the brace too. Mine came on almost overnight, worst pain ever! It can take you down! Less walking then equals less exercise and weight gain, so vicious cycle. Thanks again. Hope this helps . 🙏🏼
Wear Crocs when you get up. I did it all but wearing those shoes around the house and a flexible athletic shoe (try to bend your shoe) outside brought me back to pain free feet.
About four visits to the Chinese acupressure clinic at a local mall solved the problem. There are so many contraptions, insoles, stretches, splints, podiatrists, cortisone shots being recommended… but acupressure with a knowledgeable practitioner eliminated the issue for me- permanently.
Best and more informative video about plantar issues I've seen, I really understand now why the night splint is important, I felt like it wasn't doing anything and stopped using it but it's not about feeling like it's doing something it's about not letting the foot flop. I'll be trying again with my night splints after this video cause I'm in so much pain I'm walking like a 90 year old and I'm only 34!!!!
Hi guys, thanks for this, I am really in pain right now, my heels are sore and the outer sides of foot, can only bear standing in trainers. Am a 48 yr old woman and feeling like I am falling apart . Gave myself MN from heels which is more healed now.
I suffered from Achilles tendonitis at work after buying new work boots. The only thing that kept me going were those calf stretches. It was temporary relief but enough to get me through the day.
I have been dealing with PF currently for a year now. Had it several years ago and the only thing that worked was rolling the calf muscle. I got it from ballet dancing. With this current ailment, nothing is working. I've done all of these exercises and now I am considering the night splint.
I’m a nurse and on my feet on cement floors in the hospital! I’ve had plantar fasciitis since I started nursing 5 years ago! It’s in one foot and I have tried so many things and it is better when I’m not at work ! I have orthotics in apparently shoes for planters! I have tried taping and all the exercises ! Any suggestions for while I’m at work in those nasty floors?
I have the same issue I'm on concrete..Wore my souls of Shoes out..Bought new souls didn't help...Changed shoes it's still painful on right foot where heal is but the front of the heal...
So i have plantar fasciitis and patello femorel pain syndrome (excuse the spelling!) i do my Daily exercises for each and its getting better. But on days where I need to do lots of walking im in absolute agony and some people suggest getting some walking sticks / canes. Is something you guys would suggest too?

“ flat sole almost archness” what did you mean here?

The real cause of my pain (in both feet) was a pair of shoes I had worn the day before the pain started which caused my heals to be bruised…..simple as that.
Thanks so much, so good of you to share.
and what did u do to treat it successfully?
@@ahmadalh5234 The very first thing I did was stop using the custom insoles which caused my right foot to start having Tarsal Tunnel pain. Then I stopped wearing the one pair of high-end shoes that I kept. The doctor’s script was to stabilize my ankles which wasn’t what I needed. Then I purchased New Balance shoes…one is a FRESH FOAM ROAV 1 and the other is FRESH FOAM 1080 v11. These shoes have excellent padding and helped me from putting too much pressure on the heals of my feet when I walked which was something else I did….kept from putting too much pressure on my heals when I walked. I continued to use a vibrating water foot bath. I believe I may have used Voltaren gel on my heals. Voltaren is a topical anti-inflammatory. I didn’t need to use acetaminophen much. I used a walker ALOT. I gradually got better over a couple of months (but it took me 4 months to diagnose myself). During those couple of months I was not very mobile. If I had been working at a job, I would have had to go on short term disability, which is typically a health care benefit available through an employer.
Thank you for sharing! Glad it turned out to be simple but so sorry you had to go through all that before figuring it out!
How did you figure that out? And how did your shoe bruise you that badly?
Thankyou so much! Wish I’d seen this before I lined up my injection
Hoping this helps me! This is a very frustrating condition. I have been hesitant to really stretch or massage the area because I thought that would just exacerbate the already-inflamed area. I’ll give these tips a try though!!
My foot doctor gave me shots in my heal, and I wore the brace to keep my foot straight while I slept. It still took a year to two years to quit hurting. It was the most painful thing I had to put up with while working.
Until someone goes through this pain, they can never sympathize. It really is a miserable situation.
@@plovifygenuinely so true it's a horrendous Chronic injury and people who have not experienced it just think it's nothing
I had an injection 6 months ago. That, along with inserts kept me pain free. The pain is back and I won't endure another injection!!!
@@ritaschiferl3615 buy the book Plantar Fasciitis survival guide by William Prowse. It's improved by symptoms massively since my last comment, I'm not 100% fixed but I'll be there and you will be too 👍
Stretching the greater toe is a problem if you have both halllux rigidus and plantar fascitis. 😢
You guys are a hoot and give great information. I appreciate your recommendations and will try them. Thank you.
Thank you for this video clip. It really helped. I appreciate your taking the time to explain ❤️😇
Complete lower body stretch really help me. Yoga, hip strengthing, foot strengthing has help me. Great video. The big toe stretch was a game changer !
Thank you! I'm goiig to start the exercises tomorrow. I ordered the brace too. Mine came on almost overnight, worst pain ever! It can take you down! Less walking then equals less exercise and weight gain, so vicious cycle. Thanks again. Hope this helps . 🙏🏼
Wear Crocs when you get up. I did it all but wearing those shoes around the house and a flexible athletic shoe (try to bend your shoe) outside brought me back to pain free feet.
Thanks for sharing!
You guys always give great advice and I share them to anyone I know suffering. I just had to add one more thing that helped me heal.
@@plovifyLove those Crocs!
About four visits to the Chinese acupressure clinic at a local mall solved the problem. There are so many contraptions, insoles, stretches, splints, podiatrists, cortisone shots being recommended… but acupressure with a knowledgeable practitioner eliminated the issue for me- permanently.
Thanks for the advice
Get Diabetic shoes
Wow, thank you
Hi @avibongo please help I've been on this pain for 4 months now, can you help me with a contact for Chinese doctor if it's in south africa
Hi where is this chines acupuncture located I'm in south Africa
I did PRP injections for my PF and had great success 😊
Thank you for sharing!
Gracias amigos for sharing, we appreciate it.
Thanks guys. My feet are killing me. This video was very beneficial.
Best and more informative video about plantar issues I've seen, I really understand now why the night splint is important, I felt like it wasn't doing anything and stopped using it but it's not about feeling like it's doing something it's about not letting the foot flop. I'll be trying again with my night splints after this video cause I'm in so much pain I'm walking like a 90 year old and I'm only 34!!!!
Night splints for me was more of an aggravation than anything.
Hi guys, thanks for this, I am really in pain right now, my heels are sore and the outer sides of foot, can only bear standing in trainers.
Am a 48 yr old woman and feeling like I am falling apart .
Gave myself MN from heels which is more healed now.
Thank you so much for information,have been with this problem now ending five months
All the best Bob! Thank you both for pain relief and range of motion issues that I have resolved with your expertise and humor over the years.
Our pleasure!
I suffered from Achilles tendonitis at work after buying new work boots. The only thing that kept me going were those calf stretches. It was temporary relief but enough to get me through the day.
Great video (as always)!! 👏
Question: do you guys ever use shockwave therapy or cold laser for plantar fascitis?
Thanks again!
I tried 6 weeks of sound wave, didn't work, made it even worse.
Thank you for good information. God bless you
This was fantastic and so informative. Your older video(s) on exercises for PF helped so much when I was at the worst of it!
Thank you! So happy to hear they helped!
I'm 24 and I run a lot. I've had it for a fews years at this point. Exercise makes it more sore in the morning that's for sure!
lol he really walked the way I am right now. Thanks for the help
Thank you, gentlemen.
Yes to interviewing Juan. Your ideas for questions are all great. Please include . What was his version of how you met and how he felt?
Thanks Guys....very helpful...!

Walking on my forefoot has now given me more pain there than I have in the middle and heel. Wonderful 😫
Thanks so much for this video... i am experiencing this lately
I have been dealing with PF currently for a year now. Had it several years ago and the only thing that worked was rolling the calf muscle. I got it from ballet dancing. With this current ailment, nothing is working. I've done all of these exercises and now I am considering the night splint.
Thanks so much, fellas. God bless. 🙏💖✨
You are very welcome!
Love this great advice
Glad it was helpful!
I’m a nurse and on my feet on cement floors in the hospital! I’ve had plantar fasciitis since I started nursing 5 years ago! It’s in one foot and I have tried so many things and it is better when I’m not at work ! I have orthotics in apparently shoes for planters! I have tried taping and all the exercises ! Any suggestions for while I’m at work in those nasty floors?
I have the same issue I'm on concrete..Wore my souls of Shoes out..Bought new souls didn't help...Changed shoes it's still painful on right foot where heal is but the front of the heal...
As a nurse, I suppose you have Short Term Disability which would allow you to completely stop walking. Use a wheelchair.
Get a different job. They will never change the floors. Btw, the floors are concrete.
lol me watching this at 15 years old
Thanks B & B... I will try these.
I have flat feet, active, and love my being barefoot.
Thank you for these tips!👍
I would love to know which shoes Mike is wearing, those look comfy
So i have plantar fasciitis and patello femorel pain syndrome (excuse the spelling!) i do my Daily exercises for each and its getting better. But on days where I need to do lots of walking im in absolute agony and some people suggest getting some walking sticks / canes. Is something you guys would suggest too?
