Plantar Fasciitis is one of the most common sources of pain in the body, but low back pain might be THE most common. You can fix that pain INSTANTLY by following what I recommend in this video here: https://youtu.be/DWmGArQBtFI
I had this on 1 foot, tried everything exercise wise didn't work a Helland arch insert in my shoe , pain gone , still working. Great when your out of shape or overweight
Hello Thank you for your video on plantar fascitis. It would help if you spoke a bit slowly to explain the exercises please and show your bare muscles. Im really suffering from this and don't understand the mechanics fully
I just started this heel pain n I hv a heel spur. Your video came unsolicited but it’s Grace… I’ve been doing Hatha yoga for a few years now… so I don’t understand how I developed this pain. My doctor said that it’s common in women n caused by aging. I’m going to do all the stretches and hopefully the pain goes away soon. Tq so much.
excellent info provided. all previous advice on tennis ball use, ice etc tried. these explanations on tight calves and fall of hip muscles related to heal pain explains this for me. looking forward to work through stretches of hips, calves and spine.thank you
I've never responded to a video before, but had to after trying these stretches. Just one day of practicing these stretches and my PF pain has pretty much gone away!!!!! Thank you so much!
Excellent video. Would have loved to see all the links to videos you mentioned. See you recently added one in the comments thankfully. But you referred to 4 total that are critically related too. Also it would really help to know more clearly how much of each exercise to do. You vaguely mentioned it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😃. Please please please create PLAYLISTS for individual problems such as: Plantar Fasciitis, Neck Hump, Sciatica, Knee Pain, Posture, etc. 👍👍👍😃. AND…please segment the over 600 videos you have for women. No way for me to find exactly what’s appropriate for me as a 50+ woman. Exercises using our own body weight for fixing Flabby Arms (women), Disappearing Flat Butt, Core Strength for Flatter Stomach but especially for BALANCE & Strength, Pelvic Floor, etc. That would be so much more helpful!!
I've been having ankle and plantar fasciitis issues for a while bet especially coming out of quarentine heavier than before and less mobile. Thank you for this. You have a new follower for sure
Thankyou. I've been strapping my poor little Plantar and rolling it with a bottle of iced water etc for months trying to get rid of the pain. As soon as you said "test your calves", I knew that was the issue. So now I am going to do calf and Glute Medius stretches as well as go and watch your rotation stretches…I'm detyermined to get rid of this thing once and for all
35 years of pain and this is the first time I hear about it I even ended up in a hospital in a wheelchair not being able to walk at all I got from anybody was take these pills to relieve the pain or shoe inserts at an exorbitant price
I fixed mine by changing my shoes to a more comfortable shoe with support for the ankles and sole of my feet. I was wearing those shoes that are flat with hardly no sole and no support and as a commuter was running to catch my train nearly everyday wearing this cheap and unsupportive shoes. The inevitable eventually happened and I ended up with PF and varicose veins which I had no idea at the time what it was. After reading up so much about PF and changing my shoes to either supportive trainers or shoes it eventually calmed right down. I must say I did not do much exercises. I would wake up to me not being able to walk down the stairs properly until my ankles and feet had warmed up to it. It was horrendous for about two years.
I've had severe pain from plantar fasciitis over the course of 4 or 5 years and even physical therapy didn't solve it. What I discovered was that it's not just issues from the feet or from overcompensation on the other side of the body if one side is loose and the other is tight. If both of your feet have plantar fasciitis, then there could be something else aside from just tight calves, and in fact it is also a product of tight hamstrings. If you look at the muscle physiology, you can see that the hamstring will go from your glute all the way down to your plantar fascia. However, hamstring stretches by reaching down to your toes may not be enough if you are hyper flexible like me. Rather, I needed a stronger solution than a regular stretch. What I wound up doing, which considerably reduced my pain and stiffness in my feet, was by doing hamstring stretches with a strap by laying down on my back, cranking my leg all the way up 90° and putting the strap around my toe box and pulling down so that I can stretch not only the hamstring but the whole foot too. It resulted in an absolutely incredible stretch that takes most of my pain away and I wouldn't have to stretch it out for another several hours before it got tight and stiff again. But it was amazing because this stretch took 95% of the pain away instantly. I am still doing these stretches because I still experience issues, but it gave me a new lease on life! Remember, all of our muscles in our legs and feet are interconnected, so maybe you think the problem is from one area, but it's actually from another area that is interconnected. If you look up hamstring stretches for plantar fasciitis, you will find many articles citing the benefits of doing them to help you heal your plantar fasciitis. It's crazy that my physical therapy studio didn't even tell me to do these. But they are quite recommended to help heal your heel pain.
I had hardwood floors in my home, I even made the mistake of having them hardwood floor the steps! If you have kids, don't do it! I used to always tell my kids to stop leaving their toys on the stairs they're going to kill themselves if they slip on one. Welp, guess who slipped on a toy and feel down 4 stairs landing on my side, right on my ankle. I thought it was a fracture but x-ray showed no fracture. But the pain in my heal and frequent swelling of my ankle has persisted for YEARS! They suggested surgery but warned me it could turn out worse. They gave me a cast which they said "may or may not work". I've been dealing with this pain for years and it's driving me crazy. I even saw a chiropractor because someone said it's all connected. No lie, this guy warned me "this may seem a little barbaric but it works". He then proceeds to start beating the sh*t out of my ankles. LITERALLY. It was literally like my ankles were Chris Rock and he was Will Smith. I was like this guy cannot be serious. Then asked me to schedule a follow-up? No thanks, I can have my wife beat the sh*t out of my legs, thanks.
I am 98% a bicyclist. When I jog for 2% of my lifestyle, I have this plantar fasciitis problem. Am I correct in saying, the calves of a biker are totally not ready to handle the activity of running?

Thanks for instructions. Or it might be a heel spur, which isn't so easy to treat that way.

I have a hard painful bump in middle of bottom on left foot. I bought a gel pad but it’s still killing me. Is surgery the only fix ?
Thank you

Very good video. So many good stretches.
My foot has been hurting since January. Yesterday I got diagnosed with it. I hope this helps me
Thanks for making learning fun. Just my opinion.

Awesome!
Of courses, your videos and explanations are so very helpful. I appreciate that.
This is the best way👣❤️🙏No woork 👍 https://youtu.be/i7ZORLsIjvA
How about planners fasciitis and the arch of the foot right under the ball of the foot in the arch?
Suffered for 2 years. I had four 8 minute cold laser therapy sessions and it was done. My chiropractor offered the sessions at her office.
Bro I did this calf stretch and had no idea my calf’s were the real issue here, the relief I felt on my calf’s alone was amazing

Correct. Especially for flat foot person

Omy just show us already
I am 98% a bicyclist. When I jog for 2% of my lifestyle, I have this plantar fasciitis problem. Am I correct in saying, the calves of a biker are totally not ready to handle the activity of running?
Excellent
why am I getting this as an ad 3 years after it was uploaded? not a bad video or anything but YouTube algorithm is dumb
Man I found this video and I have high hopes, have had this issue for the last 3 months and no recuperation. Thank you!
Thank you, this helps. 🙏
Thanks a lot for the details of the causes and solution, I think it will be helpful to us.
