Key Points (1) Keep moving but reduce stress / pressure / movement on the plantar fascia specifically (2) Stretch your calves, not your fascia (3) Consider upping your micronutrients to aid in healing. Remember to grab the PDF in the description above. Hope this helps you! - Lucas @ YOGABODY
I love and appreciate the recap too -it’s a lot of info and great to have a summer of main points and then we can rewatch for a refresher of details … gonna get that pdf now ! Thank you for making and sharing that too 😄😄😁
I have had heel pain for 8 months now . I’ve been to a podiatrist who ordered expensive orthotics for me and I’ve been going to physical therapy for 2 months. Nothing is working. I watched your plantar fasciitis video on RUclips 4 days ago. I’ve done the stretches a couple of times a day since then. Today I am in no pain for the first time in 8 months! All of the “solutions” that are mentioned in the video (ball on bottom of foot, KT tape, etc) have been used on me or suggested to me. None have worked. Only the stretches from your video have made even a little dent and it seems that they will be making a long term difference! Thank you!
Holy smoke! Those stretches worked, did them last night before bed and got up this morning and pain is 99% gone! This pain had been going on for over a month. My job entails lots of walking, lifting and carrying heavy stuff, I could barely walk Friday it hurt so bad yet your simple stretches fixed it immediately. All those other RUclips fixes made it worse, thank you!
I started to get PF about 8 months ago. Went to physio and was told that my hamstrings were the problem. Did all the exercises recommended but only limited relief. When I came across your video, I though the exercises were too short and simple to be effective, but I did them every day and wore good shoes (no barefeet!) and ate correctly. After about 3 months I started to get relief and things got better from there. So to anyone thinking of doing these exercises make sure that you stick with it. It works but it does take time.
I've had PF for at least 4 years now......just did this exercise and cannot be more grateful for the results. Knees and ankles on both legs made that knuckle cracking sound maybe 30-40 times.....pain reduced by 90%! I feel great......thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I’m a dance teacher, I went from teaching 7 classes to teaching 19! I’ve had PF for months & you’re exactly right I was discouraged & fed up with nothing working. I will be doing these stretches each night! Thank you!
If you're a dance teacher, your muscles and tendons are probably already stretched. I am pretty flexible too, but still got plantar fasciitis, why? Look at a diagram of the nerves in the bottom of the foot, they all converge at the spot near the heel by the arch. Someone made a comment here on youtube, about the big toe being pushed too far inward from shoes that push them in. Make sure your big toe isn't being forced too far towards the 2nd toe, mine is. I'm wearing the socks with toes in them 24 hours a day, and wearing wide shoes.
My knees are giving me problems and I think that has caused PF in my left foot I cannot walk let alone do all these exercises I am 73 and really suffering I cant go around supermarket for my own food. I have been waiting months to see Neurologist I have had scans for my back hips and knees. I won’t receive results until I see him, I’m fed up of having to stay on my bed.I don’t know what to do.
Finally videos that address the real cause of this. Put simply its load vs capacity. If your load exceeds the capacity then you develop problems. Best way to resolve this, stretch, do calf raises, and walk. Start at a point where you dont upset it too much and then gradually increase. Start with two footed calf raises and progress to single foot. Do as many reps as you are able to handle as your starting point. Work your way up.
I tried all the stretching, rolling iced bottle, heat etc. in the end I signed up for a series of shock wave therapy. Almost from the first session I noticed an improvement, now 5 Sessions (weekly) later I only have an ache, which is tolerable. I fully expect improvement to continue. Good luck with all those who suffer from this terrible pain.
Thank you very much for this video. After a year of daily pain, these exercises have solved the problem. I had no idea that a knee strain would have caused this, but on the first stretch, I could tell a difference, from the feeling in the upper calf. It took a few days to be able to complete the stretches, but it gradually became easier, and within a few days I started to notice a real difference. It's been two months now, and all the pain has gone. I have now subscribed to your channel as a thankyou. D.
I dealt with plantar fibromas and plantar fasciitis for nearly 10 years. I had cortisone shots, laser treatments, PT and daily exercises, arch supports. Nothing worked, they were only temporary. I was all over RUclips looking for ideas and came upon this video. I did it daily for about two months and no more issues. Thank you Lucas!!
Just did some other stretches with other videos - didn’t help. Wow!! Yours really helped a lot. I’m 61 and started playing Pickleball - so fun but wow the plantar fasciitis is a killer. Thanks for sharing these exercises and tips with us
I have just done these stretches for a few mins and found instant relief, amazed and grateful. I’ve been trying a zillion other methods to give me some relief and for weeks I’ve been in agony it’s so draining so with this immediate relief to say I’m overjoyed would be an understatement! I’m going to keep them up throughout the day and ongoing and I have a feeling these are the best relief stretches for me.
Thank you so much. I had checked so many videos before watching yours, and tried so many of the things they were advising , and finding myself in even more pain. It is the third day that I am doing your exercise. And such an incredible relief, it is unbelievable. Thank you again, I was in lot of pain and could hardly walk. And by the way, yes it came after a change as you had suggested in your video (some change causing the appearance of this pain): new walking shoes! Even when I become totally pain free I will keep this exercise as part of my daily routine.
Have this issue for a while and tried several natural treatments but this video just introduces the best way eliminating the plantar fasciitis issue so far that I’m happy to confirm it. The keyword is the stretch, coz STRETCHING your leg on daily basis (for me hamstring and calf) and your problem would go away. Even my knees start to work properly again.
Spot on! Shin and calf stretches STOPPED my nighttime ankle cramps. When I tried to add stimulation to my arches with a tennis ball, the cramps returned!. Whoa! Thanks!
I'm glad someone addressed that the common "fixes" for PF (ice, stretching, meds) don't work. The only thing I'd add is that taping absolutely does work to alleviate acute pain, though not taping with KT. You need athletic tape and the tape pattern will basically mimic the layout of the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot. There are lots of videos on you tube. I had very long term PF for years, and finally ended up getting orthotics. My podiatrist told me "you'll wear these for the rest of your life" which I knew was wrong. The taping however was immensely helpful, and the orthotics helped cool down years of inflammation. Eventually I switched to wider shoes and minimalist for daily wear (not for running). I haven't had any pain in years and I no longer wear orthotics, even after I took up distance running.
Got relief immediately this is unreal ! I went to podiatrists and I recieved a shot which did not do anything at all then I used orthotics in my shoes and sneakers and again it did nothing so I just got used to the heel pain and went on with my life because I wasn't taking any more shots yes I stretched the facia which again did nothing more pain thats all it did Now I tried your exercises and BOOM immediate relief yes it hurt me like crazy but I kept on and the pain was less and less and this is only one night I'm actually able to walk normal with no pain I will do this all week I want to Thank you so much for posting this I also wish you were in NY I would've loved to be in your training program God bless and thank you again
I can NOT express how helpful and effective this has been. I had debilitating foot pain. These have been so helpful. I do a mini version throughout the day of 30 seconds each stretch then save the 2 minute version for last thing. I can now effectively walk again. I'm going to keep it up. I can NOT thank you enough for your video!!! You're the man!
I’m thrilled to hear that the stretches have helped with your foot pain and improved your walking! Your approach of doing mini stretches throughout the day and a longer session is great. Keep it up, and thank you for the kind words! -YOGABODY Team
@@YOGABODY.Official I am wearing New Balance tennis shoes and Birkenstock sandals. Do you have a better recommendation for shoes for a Planter's situation?
For plantar fasciitis, consider shoes with good arch support and cushioning. Brands like Brooks, Asics, and Hoka often have good options. - YOGABODY Team
Good video! Just want to suggest that when stretching gastrocnemius, you can isolate each head by adding rotation to both sides- swing your front leg across and rotate your body first one way and hold, and then the other way. A lot of PF is caused by tight calves pulling on the calcaneus. Also, heat is great to use on the foot as it helps to bring blood flow to the poorly vascularized tissue.
@@ZacheryH1993 When you do a calf stretch to one leg, you simply add a rotation of your body, bringing your free leg across in front of you, and hold, and then rotate the other way out away to the side of your body and hold. So if you're stretching your left calf, at the end of the stretch bring your right leg across in front and hold- you should feel one side of your calf (gastrocnemius) muscle being stretched more, and then take your right leg out to the right side. Look on Athlean-X's RUclips channel for his plantar fascia advice- he demonstrates the stretch.
@@whatwouldhousedo5136 oh yes I've already seen that one before but I don't know about adding heat to the plantar fasciitis since its technically a nerve issue. My doctor mentioned heat isn't good for nerve pain and ice is the way to go. It is probably why they always recommend icing my feet whenever I saw the podiatrists about it
@@whatwouldhousedo5136 I showed my PT that athlean x video a year ago nearly and he said that the way you force your body into that position has more impact on your body and would rather me do the doming technique which is very hard to do. I had to practice it with my PT for a few months to get it lol. But once you know how to do it you can eliminate your heel pain by creating an arch, making your brain smarter. It is an exercise so you gotta do it all of the time to make your brain remember how to properly stand.
I never had issues with my feet till i became a utility lineman. My company only offers and approves literally one style of one brand of boots and my feet degraded so darn fast. I bought my own boots and got a letter from the company to state they fit the same electrical hazard requirements as the boots my company requires. Im slowly getting better but im going to take your advice and hopefully ill be back to normal soon. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Love this channel, very informational, and this video came at the perfect time for me : I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis for a few months which happened less than 6 months after changing sport shoes from one very well known brand only doing sportswear to another not only doing sportswear.
I've been doing this stretch for 2 days. My pain felt worse after yesterday's stretch in my arch and heel. Today during the stretch again but after the stretch it seemed to be reduced. I'm glad I don't have to keep stretch my foot and using massage balls etc. I'm giving this a good go to see if it helps my recurring PF over the years that lasts months at a time.
Clever stuff! Clever guy. Suffered plantar fasciitis many times especially doing martial arts and many of my clients have had plantar fasciitis. Matt the pilates teacher.
Thank you so much! My plantar fasciitis started when I started to workout and added so much stress to my foot 😢 I have flat feet so yeah… it’s so painful at times. Will try your stretches
Weight gain due to menopause is when i starts noticing this problem. I stand for 10 hours a day at work as well. Im taking off weight, and it seems to be getting better.
I’m glad I came across this video. I did the stretch today and I could feel the difference right away. I started using minimal shoes for about a year and now I got that pain. 😢
Hello from India. Thank you for the information. I have been struggling with pain in my heels without understanding why. I'll try what you've said. Pls keep up the work you're doing. Trust me, it's making a difference to people like me.
Thanks a lot. I´ve dealing with plantar fasciitis for a while now and what i've been doing so far is mostly what you´ve described in this video. It´s good to know that i'm heading in the right direction.
😮 I’m blown away with this simple stretch to relieve the pain in my feet’s … I had been out of work for three months and I just started back and my feet were so sore today. So when I got home and goggle “Best Way To Heal Sore Feet “ and u popped up… Long-story short the streaches gave me relief immediately😮I was like omg OOOKKKAAAYYY 🎉 THANKS SO MUCH ❤ I just became a new subscriber of yours 😊 You have so much more stuff I would like to learn about… Thanks so much 🙏🏽😍
Awesome. Been dealing with it for years. Had it in highschool and work, lost it, now it has found its way back to me. I’m trying out a splint as i go to sleep now. Will try stretching in the afternoon
I’ve had PF for the last year or 2 on and off and haven’t heard of a more clear instruction for fixing it. It makes a lot of sense. I’ve noticed by just stretching my calves, it has gotten better!! Thank you for the info. I have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more videos.
Very helpful stretches, I wish I had found this video this time last year when my PF really started with a vengeance. However, don´t knock taping, massageballs and especially not massageguns. I am virtually pain free since a month thanks to taping and my treasured massagegun. I had an ultrasound done late last year and then again a month ago and the difference was clear. Shoes are, as you said, terribly important.
Thank you for your time and effort in producing this video, such a great presentation. I am really encouraged by it after suffering with PF in one foot for the past month. The pain intensity at times literally brings me to tears, and it has really set me back in my activities and work. I intend to follow all your suggestions and cease wasting time on direct massage and anti-inflammatories. I will just focus on my calf, not my foot. Happily a new subscriber now, and sending my best wishes from Australia to all your viewers for us to recover from PF with your great advice and education!
This is the best no nonsense instructions on this topic. I realized after watching your video that it was the new minimalist shoes and crocs that caused my plantar fasciitis. Thanks!
Hi, I have suffered with this for a couple of years and watched and tried nearly everything….sometimes a temporary improvement, often no impact at all. So, with some scepticism, and in much pain, I found your video. I already stretch, so I didn’t think your recommended stretches would make any difference. BUT, I was wrong! I noticed improvement immediately, and now have zero PF pain, even when I get up in the morning. Your demo of the stretches really helped in getting the right place stretched. And, finally, many many thanks! My life is better, thanks to you and your solution to PF. ❤
This has really worked for me, thank you Lucas! Love the weekly podcasts also, so much to learn there. Keep up all the great work 👏🏻and thank you for keeping it real no bs!! 😩😃
Thank you, at 75 things are wearing out and breaking down! I’m noticing my heals are becoming a little painful. I’m starting these stretches every day after my walk.
Subscribed to you right away cause you didn’t ask for it within 3 seconds and told me how to find what I needed right away. I watched all the way through though and appreciate the info. I’m too you to feel this damn old! Thank you
I used to go on 1 hour walks with my dog and one day I decided to up it to 2 hours. I guess it was a bit much cuz I started to have this pain on my right heel. Can barely walk 20 mins now without feeling a like something is stabbing me under my foot, and it's been like that for a week. 15 minute ice pack and these stretches after my walk and for the first time in a week I've actually felt some relief. Thank you!
Azengear ankle support sleeves turned out to be very helpful for pain relief. My brother combined physical exercises with wearing these socks during the day and got amazing results!
Thank you for a great video and your explanation was so easy to follow and helpful 🙏 I have been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis Heel Pain for a month and went to a doctor what a waste!!! I did the exercise last night before going to bed and the pain is almost gone down to 10%. Thank you again 🙏
Like your video best and it makes the most sense then all the others I RUclipsd. I am 82 and got this pf in my left foot about 3 weeks ago, first time in my life. Live a very healthy life style, do pet sitting and walk. Love to walk barefoot whenever I can and, I guess, that might be for now, not a good idea. Thanks for posting this video.
I think it's good to try different things. I've been dealing with extreme pf for a few months. I walk 20k+ steps a day at work and it was getting worse. Going barefoot, stretching my entire body and doing deep tissue massage has taken my pain away.
Sir really soon much thanks for sharing this video ,as it really works on me, I am suffering a heel pain so much ,but your exercise made me comfortable
So many conflicting vids out there and this one makes the most sense. Starting these stretches today and I've subscribed to your channel. Thank you for taking this time to provide this information!
Yep, new shows caused my plantar fasciitis. Hoka shoes. It started with calf tightness. Went to Kura, which significantlly helped. He says taping does not work - WRONG! Once I started taping, the plantar fascia is supported giving relief so I could actually start walking without pain. Yes - stretch too.
I was diagnosed with chronic pain in both my heels after an injury (falling from height). The pain was so bad, it felt like my feet were on fire, worn-out and throbbing. By chance i found out the podiatrist has a pulse wave machine. I go there every 6 weeks and get this pulse therapy on the inside of my heels. I dont get the servere burning feeling anymore. After the treatment my heels feel great..but shortly after an itchyness comes back and some discomfort.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been feeling the pain of plantar fasciitis for a long time already and I have also tried the deep muscle massage thing. It provided short time relief but it came back worse. Good thing I have come across your channel. I’ll be doing this from now on.
Omg thank u so much! Just did these stretches and my calf’s already feel different lol…I just lost 132lbs and I guess the working out screwed up my feet! Now I have plantar fasciitis in BOTH! I never had these problems when I was fluffy 😂
Thanks for this video. I used to wear walking or running shous and had no problems with them until I wore more fashionable boots with flat sole and I my ankle is painful. Seriously painful. It feels hot when I touch it and it is red skinned! Yes, you are right, we need to track back what happened to us to get the conclusion. Each person might have different causes 🙏
I think he is right. So many RUclipsrs give advice to heal PF that actually harms it. The facia is injured. Why would you stretch injured facia? You do those stretches to PREVENT PF. I'm sure his upstream exercises are good but what is specifically needed for the facia is rest. Long rest. Unfortunately, most people need to be active (they work for a living). I have PF right now, and it is slooooooowly getting better. But I'm retired. I recommend a night boot and crutches during the day while wearing a dayboot (imobilizing). I did not do the crutches and day boot and I regret it. Next time, im pulling out all the stops. It sucks but the damn thing doesn't heal quickly.
Wow it’s a miracle I feel so much better 😊I can’t believe it thank so much while trying to take care of my little girls I couldn’t bear the pain this has helped me greatly ❤
My plantar fascia and achilles calcaneal tendon had both been held in an overstretched position for many weeks while I was wearing a leg-foot cast because they pushed my foot into an extreme dorsiflex position, so now I have intense pain in the plantar fascia and achilles. I am hoping this exercise will help. I really like how you explain the exercise by naming the muscles involved. Thank you!
Im on my way to heal my PF. Its been maybe 8 months already and its the second time it surfaces. I go out dancing a lot and that hurts my fascia after around 45min, 1 hour dancing. And I go out dancing at least once a week, this definitely is slowing my healing down. I have tried a lot of things and done a lot of research. One thing that you didnt mention is how to step properly. Some people may do it in a way that may not be the best and may need advice (such as myself). Another thing that I feel that is helping me *a lot*, but is not mentioned here, is self massage. It took me a while to do it properly but It has helped me a lot in the last week.
My PF and Achilles tendinopathy started 8 months ago when I went hiking on mountains in Ireland. It’s been and still is excruciating and I’m fed up of waddling like a drunken duck! The pain has spread to my knees now. I have another hospital appointment soon as I suspect I have heel spurs but I’m going to try these exercises as nothing else has helped. I had the steroid injection, which was v painful, and it wore off within three weeks so I don’t advise that. Thank you for this video, I’m going to start with your exercises right away.
Also thanks so much for making this it was so much of what o was thinking and feeling intuitively and made sense to me but it was not validated by the doctors I saw they gave me opposite advice so it really makes me feel more confident follow my own judgment and feeling and th oughts hearing someone who knows and has experienced this and similar situations affirm the same things - but you obviously have a lot more knowledge awareness and expertise from recovering and being a yoga instructor and learning from your own recovery and experience so I trust this more than any of the other resources I’ve been researching all day and night lol
Had PF for year now, but only in my left foot. My change was daily walking (per doctor orders) about 1-1/2 mile, basically 6 times around the block. My change was walking 6 days a week, born with flat feet and wearing cheap walking shoes. I noticed when I would stand on a cushy rubber mat, I would not feel any pain. So I bought some expensive cushy Nike walking shoes with some PF doctor Scholl insert. This helped alot, but I still have a little pain. I'm going to try your stretching method and see if my foot improves more. Thanks for the information.
Great to hear you're walking, Arlene. Shoes are very unique / individual, but I appreciate you sharing your story about more cushioned shoes. I've also found foot-shaped but very cushy shoes (I wear Altras) make a world of different. Also changing shoes every 300-500 km which I never did before.
Hi Arlene..you've just described my PF...so a small doubt...can you continue to walk everyday n work on ur PF simultaneously or do u have to stop walking while d PF heals..
Antibiotics belonging to a class of medications called flouroquinolone’s cause tears, splits and ruptures to bilateral ankle tendons, after surgery and being immobilized, now I have this plantar fasciitis. Thanks for the information, hope it works!
@@YOGABODY.Official I think all the immobilization after the surgery contributed to it. I don’t know how I can do stretches at this point . My peroneal tendons split and tears in the Achilles. I’m two weeks post op as of this past Friday . Thanks for the reply!
I know exactly when mine started. It was after an eight mile hike when somebody suggested I lengthen my stride. That was five months ago. I’ve gotten the shots and the expensive orthotics. None of that has helped much. My husband wants me to have surgery. I’m really resistant to that idea, but I’m retiring in about a month and we have a lot of hiking trips planned. I’ve been stretching but probably putting too much pressure on the PF. I’ll switch to just stretching the soleus and gastrocs. It seems a little too simple but sometimes simple is what really works. Thanks for the video! 🥾
Thank you for all this information. Just when I need it. In my case it was two shifts at work that were more walking than usual combined with switching to summer shoes with less supportive soles.
Is my job, I'm a bar tender and waiter, and the floor in my restaurant is all hard tiles, and that was tbe reason for my pain, now I'm looking for insoles made for me, as support for my foot. Thank you for the vídeo

This is such a helpful video. My PF started after wearing vivo barefoot shoes for 3 months. The strange thing is that a lot of so called experts on RUclips are recommending people to wear barefoot shoes to help reduce the pain from PF. You are the only person who made complete sense to me. It is sad that a lot of physiotherapists and fitness experts on RUclips provide wrong information for personal benefits from these barefoot shoe brands. Thank you so much for the video. I never comment on RUclips videos but this one is probably the only video which states the truth as it is.
It's really strange... if you sprained your ankle, it's like giving people advice to roll their ankle daily to heal. Completely illogical. You want to brace your ankle as you heal and brace your foot sole. Hope it helps!
Hi Lucas, I went to see a podiatrist for the pain in my heels and he recommended shoe inserts which I got. I also had a procedure done that he described as “a mini jackhammer” which was to break up the scar tissue. That did seem to help but now I have a diffuse pain all over the bottom of my feet. Do you think that is still plantar’s fasciitis? While I’m here, I just want to tell you that I your Happy Back Challenge helped me so much. I’d been in pain for months, and after Day 3 I felt relief! I now do a session every second day and my back is happy indeed! Thank you so much for the work that you do. I’m glad you left your office job!
Your diffuse pain could still be linked to plantar fasciitis or the procedure. Give it some time and consult your podiatrist if it continues. Glad the Happy Back Challenge helped! Keep up the good work. - YOGABODY Team
I think this will work the stretch hurts so bad it is so tight. Right after my big toe cracked I hear it’s a lot to do with the big toe. I got it from a new pare of flat shoes. I’m going with a supported shoe right now.
What's messed up is the sheer amount of exercises and stretches that are completely opposite of each other. Seems like every video contradicts the next. Exhausting.
Truer words have never been spoken...one video says do this...the next video says don't do this...WTF...I have pf...my heels are killing me...what actually works ???...anyone ???
I just started 3 things and found I halved my pain within 24 hours. Heel raises x 5 slowly 3x a day Rub castor oil on feet cover with socks twice a day or when foot sore Hot cold foot soaks. 3min hot water then 30 sec cold repeat three times daily twice if you can.
Hi Lucas, I've had plantar fascilitis for the last 6 months due to jumping rope. Glad I found your page as I tried all the recommendations that you suggested to avoid. I've tried them all and made the symptom worst. This has worked for me with noted decrease in the pain. You advice this exercise is done at the end of the day. Why is that? Thank you.
I found your video informative. It seemed logical to me. I will try the stretches and add the vitamin and zinc supplements. Thank you for the information. The stretch only once per day, at the end of the day.
I started a new job, and new safety shoes with no soles for my pronation feet. After 2 weeks I had inflammation in my left feet. And had 2 PF in each foot. Left me uable to walk for 2 weeks. Here 6 months later I cant still walk barefot. And cant walk for more than 5 mins. Befor the pain is so great I have to stop. Cant drive either. My heels in the floor. Sleeping with my heels in hurts.

What would you suggest for Plantar Fibroma?
The stretches felt great and I'll continue with them. Thank you.

Can’t find the pdf
I have had heel pain for 8 months now . I’ve been to a podiatrist who ordered expensive orthotics for me and I’ve been going to physical therapy for 2 months. Nothing is working.
I watched your plantar fasciitis video on RUclips 4 days ago. I’ve done the stretches a couple of times a day since then.
Today I am in no pain for the first time in 8 months! All of the “solutions” that are mentioned in the video (ball on bottom of
foot, KT tape, etc) have been used on me or suggested to me. None have worked. Only the stretches from your video have made even a little dent and it seems that they will be making a long term difference!
Thank you!
Hope it helps...

My job entails lots of walking, lifting and carrying heavy stuff, I could barely walk Friday it hurt so bad yet your simple stretches fixed it immediately. All those other RUclips fixes made it worse, thank you!
I started to get PF about 8 months ago. Went to physio and was told that my hamstrings were the problem. Did all the exercises recommended but only limited relief. When I came across your video, I though the exercises were too short and simple to be effective, but I did them every day and wore good shoes (no barefeet!) and ate correctly. After about 3 months I started to get relief and things got better from there. So to anyone thinking of doing these exercises make sure that you stick with it. It works but it does take time.
How are you now?
I've had PF for at least 4 years now......just did this exercise and cannot be more grateful for the results. Knees and ankles on both legs made that knuckle cracking sound maybe 30-40 times.....pain reduced by 90%! I feel great......thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I’m a dance teacher, I went from teaching 7 classes to teaching 19! I’ve had PF for months & you’re exactly right I was discouraged & fed up with nothing working. I will be doing these stretches each night! Thank you!
If you're a dance teacher, your muscles and tendons are probably already stretched. I am pretty flexible too, but still got plantar fasciitis, why? Look at a diagram of the nerves in the bottom of the foot, they all converge at the spot near the heel by the arch. Someone made a comment here on youtube, about the big toe being pushed too far inward from shoes that push them in. Make sure your big toe isn't being forced too far towards the 2nd toe, mine is. I'm wearing the socks with toes in them 24 hours a day, and wearing wide shoes.
@@janehop Thank you!
@@janehop my toes are completely in line and I still have PF 😔
My knees are giving me problems and I think that has caused PF in my left foot I cannot walk let alone do all these exercises I am 73 and really suffering I cant go around supermarket for my own food. I have been waiting months to see Neurologist I have had scans for my back hips and knees.
I won’t receive results until I see him, I’m fed up of having to stay on my bed.I don’t know what to do.
@@jazzjiverhave u tried massage? Or simply soaking your feet in warm water with Epsom salt? Also, over the counter, Voltaran applied 3 times/day!
Finally videos that address the real cause of this. Put simply its load vs capacity. If your load exceeds the capacity then you develop problems. Best way to resolve this, stretch, do calf raises, and walk. Start at a point where you dont upset it too much and then gradually increase. Start with two footed calf raises and progress to single foot. Do as many reps as you are able to handle as your starting point. Work your way up.
Thanks Jon! Hope it helps…
I tried all the stretching, rolling iced bottle, heat etc. in the end I signed up for a series of shock wave therapy. Almost from the first session I noticed an improvement, now 5 Sessions (weekly) later I only have an ache, which is tolerable.
I fully expect improvement to continue. Good luck with all those who suffer from this terrible pain.
Thank you very much for this video. After a year of daily pain, these exercises have solved the problem. I had no idea that a knee strain would have caused this, but on the first stretch, I could tell a difference, from the feeling in the upper calf. It took a few days to be able to complete the stretches, but it gradually became easier, and within a few days I started to notice a real difference. It's been two months now, and all the pain has gone. I have now subscribed to your channel as a thankyou. D.
I dealt with plantar fibromas and plantar fasciitis for nearly 10 years. I had cortisone shots, laser treatments, PT and daily exercises, arch supports. Nothing worked, they were only temporary. I was all over RUclips looking for ideas and came upon this video. I did it daily for about two months and no more issues. Thank you Lucas!!
Hi Christy - wow, that's amazing! Keep going...
This has worked so well! My pf is almost gone ( little bit of tenderness) but there’s no more tear inducing pain. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wonderful! so happy to hear...
This is the best stretch I've found for plantar fasciatis. Thank you, Lucas!
Just did some other stretches with other videos - didn’t help. Wow!! Yours really helped a lot. I’m 61 and started playing Pickleball - so fun but wow the plantar fasciitis is a killer. Thanks for sharing these exercises and tips with us
OMG! I just did these stretches and the pain is GONE 😲
THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Glad it helped!
I have just done these stretches for a few mins and found instant relief, amazed and grateful. I’ve been trying a zillion other methods to give me some relief and for weeks I’ve been in agony it’s so draining so with this immediate relief to say I’m overjoyed would be an understatement! I’m going to keep them up throughout the day and ongoing and I have a feeling these are the best relief stretches for me.
Thank you so much. I had checked so many videos before watching yours, and tried so many of the things they were advising , and finding myself in even more pain. It is the third day that I am doing your exercise. And such an incredible relief, it is unbelievable. Thank you again, I was in lot of pain and could hardly walk. And by the way, yes it came after a change as you had suggested in your video (some change causing the appearance of this pain): new walking shoes! Even when I become totally pain free I will keep this exercise as part of my daily routine.
Hope it helps! Mine has not yet come back (touch wood).
Refreshing to watch this video rather than the usual information.
Thanks for your support, Dathrakki!
Have this issue for a while and tried several natural treatments but this video just introduces the best way eliminating the plantar fasciitis issue so far that I’m happy to confirm it.
The keyword is the stretch, coz STRETCHING your leg on daily basis (for me hamstring and calf) and your problem would go away. Even my knees start to work properly again.
Spot on! Shin and calf stretches STOPPED my nighttime ankle cramps.
When I tried to add stimulation to my arches with a tennis ball, the cramps returned!. Whoa! Thanks!
I'm glad someone addressed that the common "fixes" for PF (ice, stretching, meds) don't work. The only thing I'd add is that taping absolutely does work to alleviate acute pain, though not taping with KT. You need athletic tape and the tape pattern will basically mimic the layout of the plantar fascia on the bottom of the foot. There are lots of videos on you tube. I had very long term PF for years, and finally ended up getting orthotics. My podiatrist told me "you'll wear these for the rest of your life" which I knew was wrong. The taping however was immensely helpful, and the orthotics helped cool down years of inflammation. Eventually I switched to wider shoes and minimalist for daily wear (not for running). I haven't had any pain in years and I no longer wear orthotics, even after I took up distance running.
Great you found a solution!
I recently
bought some white tape that’s 1 1/2 inches wide with no stretch. Is that the kind of tape that worked for you?
Got relief immediately this is unreal ! I went to podiatrists and I recieved a shot which did not do anything at all then I used orthotics in my shoes and sneakers and again it did nothing so I just got used to the heel pain and went on with my life because I wasn't taking any more shots yes I stretched the facia which again did nothing more pain thats all it did Now I tried your exercises and BOOM immediate relief yes it hurt me like crazy but I kept on and the pain was less and less and this is only one night I'm actually able to walk normal with no pain I will do this all week I want to Thank you so much for posting this I also wish you were in NY I would've loved to be in your training program God bless and thank you again
So happy to hear!
I can NOT express how helpful and effective this has been. I had debilitating foot pain. These have been so helpful. I do a mini version throughout the day of 30 seconds each stretch then save the 2 minute version for last thing. I can now effectively walk again. I'm going to keep it up. I can NOT thank you enough for your video!!! You're the man!
I’m thrilled to hear that the stretches have helped with your foot pain and improved your walking! Your approach of doing mini stretches throughout the day and a longer session is great. Keep it up, and thank you for the kind words!

@@YOGABODY.Official I am wearing New Balance tennis shoes and Birkenstock sandals. Do you have a better recommendation for shoes for a Planter's situation?
For plantar fasciitis, consider shoes with good arch support and cushioning. Brands like Brooks, Asics, and Hoka often have good options.

Good video! Just want to suggest that when stretching gastrocnemius, you can isolate each head by adding rotation to both sides- swing your front leg across and rotate your body first one way and hold, and then the other way. A lot of PF is caused by tight calves pulling on the calcaneus. Also, heat is great to use on the foot as it helps to bring blood flow to the poorly vascularized tissue.
Oh cool idea!
I can't visualize what you're explaining 🥺
@@ZacheryH1993 When you do a calf stretch to one leg, you simply add a rotation of your body, bringing your free leg across in front of you, and hold, and then rotate the other way out away to the side of your body and hold. So if you're stretching your left calf, at the end of the stretch bring your right leg across in front and hold- you should feel one side of your calf (gastrocnemius) muscle being stretched more, and then take your right leg out to the right side. Look on Athlean-X's RUclips channel for his plantar fascia advice- he demonstrates the stretch.
@@whatwouldhousedo5136 oh yes I've already seen that one before but I don't know about adding heat to the plantar fasciitis since its technically a nerve issue. My doctor mentioned heat isn't good for nerve pain and ice is the way to go. It is probably why they always recommend icing my feet whenever I saw the podiatrists about it
@@whatwouldhousedo5136 I showed my PT that athlean x video a year ago nearly and he said that the way you force your body into that position has more impact on your body and would rather me do the doming technique which is very hard to do. I had to practice it with my PT for a few months to get it lol. But once you know how to do it you can eliminate your heel pain by creating an arch, making your brain smarter. It is an exercise so you gotta do it all of the time to make your brain remember how to properly stand.
I never had issues with my feet till i became a utility lineman. My company only offers and approves literally one style of one brand of boots and my feet degraded so darn fast. I bought my own boots and got a letter from the company to state they fit the same electrical hazard requirements as the boots my company requires. Im slowly getting better but im going to take your advice and hopefully ill be back to normal soon. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Uff yeah, one bad stint in bad footwear can do it...
Best plantar fasciitis video that I’ve come across!! Thank you so much!!
Love this channel, very informational, and this video came at the perfect time for me : I've been suffering from plantar fasciitis for a few months which happened less than 6 months after changing sport shoes from one very well known brand only doing sportswear to another not only doing sportswear.
This actually blew my mind. Thank you. Been going through a lot of new shoes lately. Got them for the holiday season.
Hi, Thankyou so much !! Instant relief pain gone after 30 second stretch of the calf!! Tried all the other stuff for months !!!
I've been doing this stretch for 2 days. My pain felt worse after yesterday's stretch in my arch and heel. Today during the stretch again but after the stretch it seemed to be reduced. I'm glad I don't have to keep stretch my foot and using massage balls etc. I'm giving this a good go to see if it helps my recurring PF over the years that lasts months at a time.
Clever stuff! Clever guy. Suffered plantar fasciitis many times especially doing martial arts and many of my clients have had plantar fasciitis. Matt the pilates teacher.
Gladd, I found this video, just did the exercise and felt some relief! Thank you from Long Island!
Hope it helps, Kevin!
Thank you so much! My plantar fasciitis started when I started to workout and added so much stress to my foot 😢 I have flat feet so yeah… it’s so painful at times. Will try your stretches
Weight gain due to menopause is when i starts noticing this problem. I stand for 10 hours a day at work as well. Im taking off weight, and it seems to be getting better.
I’m glad I came across this video. I did the stretch today and I could feel the difference right away. I started using minimal shoes for about a year and now I got that pain. 😢
Sorry to hear you've got pain, but hopefully the exercises help continue alleviating it.

Hello from India. Thank you for the information. I have been struggling with pain in my heels without understanding why. I'll try what you've said. Pls keep up the work you're doing. Trust me, it's making a difference to people like me.
Glad to hear, thanks for your support!
Thanks a lot. I´ve dealing with plantar fasciitis for a while now and what i've been doing so far is mostly what you´ve described in this video. It´s good to know that i'm heading in the right direction.
Hi Miguel - hope it helps!
Experimenta eletrolise percuteana fisioterapia invasiva
😮 I’m blown away with this simple stretch to relieve the pain in my feet’s … I had been out of work for three months and I just started back and my feet were so sore today. So when I got home and goggle “Best Way To Heal Sore Feet “ and u popped up… Long-story short the streaches gave me relief immediately😮I was like omg OOOKKKAAAYYY 🎉 THANKS SO MUCH ❤
I just became a new subscriber of yours 😊 You have so much more stuff I would like to learn about… Thanks so much 🙏🏽😍
Amazing!
Awesome. Been dealing with it for years. Had it in highschool and work, lost it, now it has found its way back to me. I’m trying out a splint as i go to sleep now. Will try stretching in the afternoon
Thank you. I was just stretching my foot before this video and was going to make an appointment with a Dr. You're the best.
Glad the video helped!

I’ve had PF for the last year or 2 on and off and haven’t heard of a more clear instruction for fixing it. It makes a lot of sense. I’ve noticed by just stretching my calves, it has gotten better!! Thank you for the info. I have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more videos.
Hope it helps, Michael!
Very helpful stretches, I wish I had found this video this time last year when my PF really started with a vengeance. However, don´t knock taping, massageballs and especially not massageguns. I am virtually pain free since a month thanks to taping and my treasured massagegun. I had an ultrasound done late last year and then again a month ago and the difference was clear. Shoes are, as you said, terribly important.
I have been looking for this, finally something that make sense towards healing my pain thanks
Thank you for your time and effort in producing this video, such a great presentation. I am really encouraged by it after suffering with PF in one foot for the past month. The pain intensity at times literally brings me to tears, and it has really set me back in my activities and work. I intend to follow all your suggestions and cease wasting time on direct massage and anti-inflammatories. I will just focus on my calf, not my foot. Happily a new subscriber now, and sending my best wishes from Australia to all your viewers for us to recover from PF with your great advice and education!
Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for this video. Got PF from 12 hours shifts at work and running.
This is the best no nonsense instructions on this topic. I realized after watching your video that it was the new minimalist shoes and crocs that caused my plantar fasciitis. Thanks!
Uff, that's hard. Did it get fixed with stronger soled shoes?
Hi, I have suffered with this for a couple of years and watched and tried nearly everything….sometimes a temporary improvement, often no impact at all. So, with some scepticism, and in much pain, I found your video. I already stretch, so I didn’t think your recommended stretches would make any difference. BUT, I was wrong! I noticed improvement immediately, and now have zero PF pain, even when I get up in the morning. Your demo of the stretches really helped in getting the right place stretched. And, finally, many many thanks! My life is better, thanks to you and your solution to PF. ❤
This has really worked for me, thank you Lucas! Love the weekly podcasts also, so much to learn there. Keep up all the great work 👏🏻and thank you for keeping it real no bs!! 😩😃
I'm a teen and I had plantar faciitis pain for a year. The pain is on scale 10. I experience it every single day.
Thank you, at 75 things are wearing out and breaking down! I’m noticing my heals are becoming a little painful. I’m starting these stretches every day after my walk.
Hope it helps!
Subscribed to you right away cause you didn’t ask for it within 3 seconds and told me how to find what I needed right away. I watched all the way through though and appreciate the info. I’m too you to feel this damn old!
Thank you
Thank you so much...been looking at plenty of videos on plantar facitis...till I found this
Thanks Yasmeen!
I used to go on 1 hour walks with my dog and one day I decided to up it to 2 hours. I guess it was a bit much cuz I started to have this pain on my right heel. Can barely walk 20 mins now without feeling a like something is stabbing me under my foot, and it's been like that for a week. 15 minute ice pack and these stretches after my walk and for the first time in a week I've actually felt some relief. Thank you!
We're so glad to hear that the stretches and ice pack helped you find relief! Take it easy and gradually increase your walk time.
- YOGABODY Team
Wow... 2nd knee bend stretch relieves the pain and feels better... Thanks...its been 5 years still stabbing pain on the heel...
Glad to have helped! Keep practicing.

amazing stretch
love the detail . . . . and the breathe aid

Great video! So frustrated with my plantar fasciitis. REALLY hoping this works! Will check out some of your other videos. Thanks!
Azengear ankle support sleeves turned out to be very helpful for pain relief. My brother combined physical exercises with wearing these socks during the day and got amazing results!
This was so helpful! I am suffering so much with pain from this. Hoping this helps!
Started today! Let’s see how it’s looking after a week I also bought insoles for PF
Thank you for a great video and your explanation was so easy to follow and helpful 🙏
I have been suffering with Plantar Fasciitis Heel Pain for a month and went to a doctor what a waste!!!
I did the exercise last night before going to bed and the pain is almost gone down to 10%.
Thank you again 🙏
Happy to hear!
Like your video best and it makes the most sense then all the others I RUclipsd. I am 82 and got this pf in my left foot about 3 weeks ago, first time in my life. Live a very healthy life style, do pet sitting and walk. Love to walk barefoot whenever I can and, I guess, that might be for now, not a good idea. Thanks for posting this video.
I think it's good to try different things. I've been dealing with extreme pf for a few months. I walk 20k+ steps a day at work and it was getting worse. Going barefoot, stretching my entire body and doing deep tissue massage has taken my pain away.
That's great to hear!
Sir really soon much thanks for sharing this video ,as it really works on me, I am suffering a heel pain so much ,but your exercise made me comfortable
Glad the exercises helped ease your heel pain.
- YOGABODY Team
So many conflicting vids out there and this one makes the most sense. Starting these stretches today and I've subscribed to your channel. Thank you for taking this time to provide this information!
Hope it helps Tony!
Yep, new shows caused my plantar fasciitis. Hoka shoes. It started with calf tightness. Went to Kura, which significantlly helped. He says taping does not work - WRONG! Once I started taping, the plantar fascia is supported giving relief so I could actually start walking without pain. Yes - stretch too.
I was diagnosed with chronic pain in both my heels after an injury (falling from height).
The pain was so bad, it felt like my feet were on fire, worn-out and throbbing.
By chance i found out the podiatrist has a pulse wave machine.
I go there every 6 weeks and get this pulse therapy on the inside of my heels.
I dont get the servere burning feeling anymore. After the treatment my heels feel great..but shortly after an itchyness comes back and some discomfort.
Thanks Lucas, I've been having this for now 3+ years. Tried everything, will try this now :)
Uff... mine was pretty bad for 4-6 months. I've been 12+ months now with zero pain. Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot again! Will keep you posted.
Lucas, just to update you back. The pain has reduced quite a lot,thanks a ton sir 🙏
Thank you so much for this video. I have been feeling the pain of plantar fasciitis for a long time already and I have also tried the deep muscle massage thing. It provided short time relief but it came back worse. Good thing I have come across your channel. I’ll be doing this from now on.
Hope it helps!
How is it now? Did it go away?
It is better now. I just had to keep doing the treatment especially when I just had a strenuous activity.
Omg thank u so much! Just did these stretches and my calf’s already feel different lol…I just lost 132lbs and I guess the working out screwed up my feet! Now I have plantar fasciitis in BOTH! I never had these problems when I was fluffy 😂
Congrats on the weight loss, amazing!
@@YOGABODY.Official thank you 😃
Thanks for this video. I used to wear walking or running shous and had no problems with them until I wore more fashionable boots with flat sole and I my ankle is painful. Seriously painful. It feels hot when I touch it and it is red skinned! Yes, you are right, we need to track back what happened to us to get the conclusion. Each person might have different causes 🙏
I think he is right. So many RUclipsrs give advice to heal PF that actually harms it. The facia is injured. Why would you stretch injured facia? You do those stretches to PREVENT PF.
I'm sure his upstream exercises are good but what is specifically needed for the facia is rest. Long rest. Unfortunately, most people need to be active (they work for a living). I have PF right now, and it is slooooooowly getting better. But I'm retired.
I recommend a night boot and crutches during the day while wearing a dayboot (imobilizing). I did not do the crutches and day boot and I regret it. Next time, im pulling out all the stops.
It sucks but the damn thing doesn't heal quickly.
Wow it’s a miracle I feel so much better 😊I can’t believe it thank so much while trying to take care of my little girls I couldn’t bear the pain this has helped me greatly ❤
Great stretch--Made my PF feel better tonight--looking forward to beating this!
My plantar fascia and achilles calcaneal tendon had both been held in an overstretched position for many weeks while I was wearing a leg-foot cast because they pushed my foot into an extreme dorsiflex position, so now I have intense pain in the plantar fascia and achilles. I am hoping this exercise will help. I really like how you explain the exercise by naming the muscles involved. Thank you!
You're very welcome. We hope the exercises help with your recovery!

Im on my way to heal my PF. Its been maybe 8 months already and its the second time it surfaces.
I go out dancing a lot and that hurts my fascia after around 45min, 1 hour dancing. And I go out dancing at least once a week, this definitely is slowing my healing down.
I have tried a lot of things and done a lot of research. One thing that you didnt mention is how to step properly. Some people may do it in a way that may not be the best and may need advice (such as myself). Another thing that I feel that is helping me *a lot*, but is not mentioned here, is self massage. It took me a while to do it properly but It has helped me a lot in the last week.
My PF and Achilles tendinopathy started 8 months ago when I went hiking on mountains in Ireland. It’s been and still is excruciating and I’m fed up of waddling like a drunken duck! The pain has spread to my knees now. I have another hospital appointment soon as I suspect I have heel spurs but I’m going to try these exercises as nothing else has helped. I had the steroid injection, which was v painful, and it wore off within three weeks so I don’t advise that.
Thank you for this video, I’m going to start with your exercises right away.
Hope it helps, Katrina!
I think it's helping me out already. I Appreciate the video.
This was so good, and re-assuring, so grateful, thank you so much
Glad it's helpful!
This is a great video and very helpful.
Also thanks so much for making this it was so much of what o was thinking and feeling intuitively and made sense to me but it was not validated by the doctors I saw they gave me opposite advice so it really makes me feel more confident follow my own judgment and feeling and th oughts hearing someone who knows and has experienced this and similar situations affirm the same things - but you obviously have a lot more knowledge awareness and expertise from recovering and being a yoga instructor and learning from your own recovery and experience so I trust this more than any of the other resources I’ve been researching all day and night lol
Hello Amanda - no idea why but most medical advice on this issue is just terrible.
Had PF for year now, but only in my left foot. My change was daily walking (per doctor orders) about 1-1/2 mile, basically 6 times around the block. My change was walking 6 days a week, born with flat feet and wearing cheap walking shoes. I noticed when I would stand on a cushy rubber mat, I would not feel any pain. So I bought some expensive cushy Nike walking shoes with some PF doctor Scholl insert. This helped alot, but I still have a little pain. I'm going to try your stretching method and see if my foot improves more. Thanks for the information.
Great to hear you're walking, Arlene. Shoes are very unique / individual, but I appreciate you sharing your story about more cushioned shoes. I've also found foot-shaped but very cushy shoes (I wear Altras) make a world of different. Also changing shoes every 300-500 km which I never did before.
Hi Arlene..you've just described my PF...so a small doubt...can you continue to walk everyday n work on ur PF simultaneously or do u have to stop walking while d PF heals..
Antibiotics belonging to a class of medications called flouroquinolone’s cause tears, splits and ruptures to bilateral ankle tendons, after surgery and being immobilized, now I have this plantar fasciitis. Thanks for the information, hope it works!
Hi Jill - yes indeed, never heard of someone getting plantar fasciitis from flox antibiotics usually Achilles… did that happen to you?
@@YOGABODY.Official I think all the immobilization after the surgery contributed to it. I don’t know how I can do stretches at this point . My peroneal tendons split and tears in the Achilles. I’m two weeks post op as of this past Friday .
Thanks for the reply!
I know exactly when mine started. It was after an eight mile hike when somebody suggested I lengthen my stride. That was five months ago. I’ve gotten the shots and the expensive orthotics. None of that has helped much.
My husband wants me to have surgery. I’m really resistant to that idea, but I’m retiring in about a month and we have a lot of hiking trips planned.
I’ve been stretching but probably putting too much pressure on the PF. I’ll switch to just stretching the soleus and gastrocs.
It seems a little too simple but sometimes simple is what really works.
Thanks for the video! 🥾
Hello Karen - hope it doesn't come to surgery... wishing you the best.
I had foot pain, I’ve been dealing with PF in BOTH feet did this stretch in my bothered foot seems to work. Wish he had more to teach.
Feel free to check out our channel we have other content about Plantar Fasciitis. Hope it helps!

Thank you for all this information. Just when I need it.
In my case it was two shifts at work that were more walking than usual combined with switching to summer shoes with less supportive soles.
Hope you're able to resolve it soon!
Is my job, I'm a bar tender and waiter, and the floor in my restaurant is all hard tiles, and that was tbe reason for my pain, now I'm looking for insoles made for me, as support for my foot. Thank you for the vídeo

This is such a helpful video. My PF started after wearing vivo barefoot shoes for 3 months. The strange thing is that a lot of so called experts on RUclips are recommending people to wear barefoot shoes to help reduce the pain from PF. You are the only person who made complete sense to me. It is sad that a lot of physiotherapists and fitness experts on RUclips provide wrong information for personal benefits from these barefoot shoe brands. Thank you so much for the video. I never comment on RUclips videos but this one is probably the only video which states the truth as it is.
It's really strange... if you sprained your ankle, it's like giving people advice to roll their ankle daily to heal. Completely illogical. You want to brace your ankle as you heal and brace your foot sole. Hope it helps!
This was really well articulated. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for I quick and clear explanation!
Hi Lucas, I went to see a podiatrist for the pain in my heels and he recommended shoe inserts which I got. I also had a procedure done that he described as “a mini jackhammer” which was to break up the scar tissue. That did seem to help but now I have a diffuse pain all over the bottom of my feet. Do you think that is still plantar’s fasciitis?
While I’m here, I just want to tell you that I your Happy Back Challenge helped me so much. I’d been in pain for months, and after Day 3 I felt relief! I now do a session every second day and my back is happy indeed!
Thank you so much for the work that you do. I’m glad you left your office job!
Your diffuse pain could still be linked to plantar fasciitis or the procedure. Give it some time and consult your podiatrist if it continues. Glad the Happy Back Challenge helped! Keep up the good work.

I think this will work the stretch hurts so bad it is so tight. Right after my big toe cracked I hear it’s a lot to do with the big toe. I got it from a new pare of flat shoes. I’m going with a supported shoe right now.
Thank you so much you've made such a major improvement. I can walk again!
Glad it helped, Chandrin!

What's messed up is the sheer amount of exercises and stretches that are completely opposite of each other. Seems like every video contradicts the next. Exhausting.
Agreed
Agreed!! So confusing 😕
Truer words have never been spoken...one video says do this...the next video says don't do this...WTF...I have pf...my heels are killing me...what actually works ???...anyone ???
I just started 3 things and found I halved my pain within 24 hours.
Heel raises x 5 slowly 3x a day
Rub castor oil on feet cover with socks twice a day or when foot sore
Hot cold foot soaks. 3min hot water then 30 sec cold repeat three times daily twice if you can.
@@missmjl2468 thanx...I'll try it
That's great I expect wonderful results in month's time let me get started.
Thanks
Hi Lucas, I've had plantar fascilitis for the last 6 months due to jumping rope. Glad I found your page as I tried all the recommendations that you suggested to avoid. I've tried them all and made the symptom worst. This has worked for me with noted decrease in the pain. You advice this exercise is done at the end of the day. Why is that? Thank you.
I wear the Hoka shoes very cushiony yet I still suffer from PF. It's been months and I got it from standing all day on my feet.
Great stuff Lucas... Very Helpful !!!
I found your video informative. It seemed logical to me. I will try the stretches and add the vitamin and zinc supplements. Thank you for the information. The stretch only once per day, at the end of the day.
Glad you liked the video, Robert!

I started a new job, and new safety shoes with no soles for my pronation feet. After 2 weeks I had inflammation in my left feet. And had 2 PF in each foot. Left me uable to walk for 2 weeks. Here 6 months later I cant still walk barefot. And cant walk for more than 5 mins. Befor the pain is so great I have to stop. Cant drive either. My heels in the floor. Sleeping with my heels in hurts.
It is interesting that there are many videos on this topic but everyone says something different.
I guess I have to try everything.
