The 5 Things Anyone With Plantar Fasciitis Should Do Every Morning

The 5 Things Anyone With Plantar Fasciitis Should Do Every Morning

Bob and Brad demonstrate five stretches and massages to do every morning to help your Plantar Fasciitis.

I've been doing these exercises twice a day for three weeks and they've worked miracles! Two years of plantar fasciitis from being up on ladders all day and I can now walk normally again and even have days with little to no pain.

1. Pull toes 5x20 seconds
2. Massage with thumbs splaying outward (just get in there and rub)
3. Using belt, loop around foot, and extend to stretch calve and foot
4. Do the alphabet with your foot (just move your foot around)
5. Put on some good arch support shoes or slipper and get after it 🤘

You know your plantar fasciitis is bad when you get their theme song stuck in your head and you find yourself singing it at the dinner table.

Thank you. I can’t believe I have been suffering for years without seeing this video. I always thought it was my weight. This worked great

Hard being patient while this heals. I love running and ready to get back to it! Hope it doesn't take quite so long to heal! Thank you for sharing these!

Thank you for making this video. Found it 5 days after plantar fasciitis started and was getting worse day by day. Doing the 5 exercises before getting up for the day was a game changer and made all difference for healing. Many thanks. A week later I am well on the way to feeling better.

I found this video yesterday and began immediately. This morning before i got out of bed i immediately did the stretches. Massively improved. Normally i am bracing because i know i'm going to have that sensation of standing on hot knives. Wonderful! Thank you!

Just spent 2 days in a lot of pain. Did your exercises from this video this morning before getting out of bed and during the day, and now, sitting here in the evening, I'm experiencing a very significant reduction in pain. It's now at manageable levels. Thanks a lot guys, this genuinely helped me! Subscribed.

My 86 year old mother couldn´t walk anymore. We decided it could be plantar fasciitis. We found your video. After doing your excercises only 1 time, she´s fit again! THANKS!!!!

[melindahedrich]

I'm doing these right now! I've been in so much pain for months. 😢 Thank you!

[darleneuptagrafft]

Thank you, I had no idea I was re injuring myself !!

I just watched a video where the guy (Eric Berg) said to stretch your foot DOWN, first. 3 times for just a few seconds each time. And if you believe everyone in the comments section, it's game changing for plantar pain. People who were suffering for months said stretching downward gave them the first relief from pain they've had in a long time.

The doctor's idea was that it has to do with tricking the brain. When you are doing dumb bell curls for example, the body makes sure that the triceps relaxes, so the curl can happen. When doing tricep extensions, the body tells the bicep to relax.

By pushing down on your foot, the body tells the bottom of the foot to relax, and so the fascia gets to 'relax' as well.

Try it out. I did it and it works well. It's not a fix but it helps avoid that stab of pain when you get up. The thing that helped me was icing the bottom of my foot every night, and wearing supportive shoes around the house. My plantar pain is almost gone now.

Your hearts of compassion is the greatest gift ever!

I’ve been having this pain for all summer (started mid-hiking-trip) and have been looking for instant relief. But I was going about it all wrong. I now have the right tools and will work on this and help myself begin the real healing process. I have much appreciation for the way the both of you take the extra time to explain and give suggestions beyond what others do!

Man, I love you guys, you always have something great for me. Seriously. Im a vet, I workout frequently and I work in construction. My body is always in need of some kind of pt and getting an appointment with a physical therapist through the va is always 2-3 months out. You guys keep me moving 🙏 thank you so much

[mistermanoj]

A one and half week back i had searched something for pain in feet due to running and had watched your video(not this one, cant find it again now). I am here back just to say Thank you.Thank You you two, bcuz i had never felt so strong at feet after i had ran some kilometres. This feeling is new to me or long forgotten.Thanks😊

[grenneljoseph]

I have healed my hand completely in just 2 days watching the exercise, my left shoulder had dislocated in a motorcycle accident n I couldn't stretch my hand, after doing the exercise sitting on the chair, I heard a click n it was OK, thanks to their show, praise the Lord

[aleciamoon]

you guys have helped me in so many videos I am forever grateful . thank you both

[bethrodecker]

I did the exercises due to plantar fasciitis. It worked wonderfully! No more pain!

[tracyduffy]

I'm so glad that I found this video. I've only been doing the exercises for 4 days and I can already feel the difference. I have Plantar Fasciitis in both feet. It started with the right foot many years ago, it eased off a bit but didn't go completely then it started in left foot a few months back but seems to be more painful that the right one ever was. I'm now doing these exercises on both feet and it's making a world of difference. I've watched more of your videos lately and I have ordered some K-tape. Thanks again Bob and Brad.
