I was just dx today with a heel spur. My previous doc treated me for plantar fasciitis and I got zero relief. Got a shot and am wearing a boot for a few days. I now have zero pain. The prior pain was incredible. Praise God for my new doc!!!

You guys are telling the truth and are 100% correct. I had heel pain, xrays revealed a bone spur and I went to a foot specialist. He did injections, which didn't help at all. I went to a surgeon, but he told me it may not be a cure because often the spur comes back. I could hardly walk, and by chance, I mentioned my problem to me G.P. doctor, who as it turned out was trained in sports medicine. He gave me two stretching exercises to do several times a day that do the same thing as the toe stretch you showed. Within 1.5 weeks my pain was gone, hasn't come back and I still have the spur. What you guys are saying WORKS. Thanks for sharing this info.

You guys are awesome, thanks for all you do! I don't have real insurance, so when I developed this severe heel pain I felt trapped. This info. has saved me from going the surgery route. Many blessings to you and yours for your generosity ❤️

Thank you so much for showing taping. After taped, pain went from 8 to almost 0 in pain scale of 0 to 10. I should have found your channel sooner than latter. However, it's never too late!

Thanks i was watching this and my neighbour came in and we watched this together now our whole village has watched this video and they all appreciate the plantar fasciitis exercise 👍🏻 👍🏻

None of this worked for me, and I tried it all. I had severe plantar fascitis in one foot. I went to podiatrist who sent me to physical therapy, but it never got any better. I probably spent over $500 on insoles, shoes, tape, splint. etc., and none of it worked. I was in agony for one year straight. I did the exercises, massage, icing it, etc. I finally decided on my own to wear a walking boot. I bought it from amazon and wore it from the moment I woke up until I went to bed. It was such a relief because it completely took the pain away. After four weeks, I started only wearing it when I had to be on my feet for more than an hour or so. I did that for two weeks. And then I was totally healed! I cured it by letting it heal and stopped messing with it. It was *injured* and all the physical therapy and exercises were making it worse. Stretching did nothing but continuously re-injure it in my case and prolonged my agony by many months. If it had been booted immediately, I would have been out of pain right away and it would have healed permanently in 6 weeks. Eventually I would have ended up getting surgery if I had continued listening to my podiatrist.

Thanks guys! I'm a personal trainer, and I have a friend with a heel spur. He's an electrician with his own business, so he cannot have this terrible pain and do his work! I'm sending him your video, and hopefully he can avoid surgery.

Great video. Take into consideration that the heel pain causes you to walk on the side of the foot which could cause soreness in other regions.

[elishalopez]

This was really helpful, thanks! I was trying to read about my specific heel pain but none of the articles explained well where the different heel pains are. This video was great that you guys went through and showed on the foot the different places where you can have pain and what it could be.

I had plantar fasciitis in both heels, foot doctor gave me insoles, which helped a bit. Two years later I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis. I wish I would have been told that having it in both feet may indicate bigger problems so I could have started treatment sooner. Enjoy your videos.

[mollysmith]

Interesting video. After years of wearing 'flats' (and being someone with an extremely high arch as well as a really wide foot -- I learned not to wear flat shoes, to only wear a shoe to accommodate my custom orthotic and after heel-spur surgery to take care to keep my foot stretched out in the morning. Hopefully this video helped many people avoid surgery.

Hi I am an NP student and I think both of you are great teachers and are very helpful. I will definitely make it a point in referring to physical therapy. Thank you so much

[rajinevin]

This is so sad to see Bob before he got his ailment. I hope he recovers. I miss him.

[suzannemorrow]

Thank you, Bob and Brad.
I am so grateful for your giving of so
Much great professional information,
help and your humor is so great especially when I’m worried and upset and frustrated with physic problems.
I wore the boot Bob suggested ther his wife had so much help with. It worked!!!! I was doing all the exercises and I wing and no real progress. I am so relieved!

[stephenconnor]

Thanks for your videos. It really helped watching one of your videos on how to treat sciatic pain. For a long while I couldn't work out what was wrong with my heel. I was blaming it on a new pair of winter climbing boots, but now I know it has been Plantar Fasciitis.

[Spiral.Dynamics]

Y’all.
I’ve done everything these guys and my podiatrist says and they all work to stop the pain.
What worked best for me was cutting out inflammatory foods like sugar, potatoes, dairy and grain.
My heel pain is completely gone and for over a year.

[madisonrondos]

When they said “you probably wake up in pain” and where your probably feeling pain I knew this had to be the answers to my prayers!

[vivianevangiesen]

Thank you so much for the exercises for plantar fasciitis. I Have been suffering with pain for 3 months, really really bad. I have been stretching and doing yoga, but it wasn't enough. YOUR EXERCISES made a difference in less than a week!! Thank you soooo Much!

I followed the advice online on how to remove a bone spur on my foot- (Plantar Fasciitis a calcium deposit). It may remove a kidney stone as well since they are made of the same material. I mixed 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar with the Mother (living) (Regular Vinegar might work too), mix in 1/4 teaspoon Baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon citric acid (optional) and drank this twice a day. In 2 days my painful, crippling bone spur of 10 years was gone! Look at your urine (pee) and see if it is cloudy. If so, this will mean the bone spur is dissolving. Interestingly, this is also what they use to naturally remove calcium deposits from your sink!

I also a use a gua sha stone (Jade or Rose Quartz) with oil on my foot to stretch out my bunched up tendon that still causes pain. My podiatrist said the tendon gets bunched up and cut from the the bone spur; so that will take a little while to heal (no pun intended!)

Also, if you have a hill or mountain to climb near you; do so every week even if painful. It causes you to flex your foot at the incline it needs to get stronger in the tendon!

I’ve been suffering from PF and heel spurs for years. I’m pretty active and now a retired staff nurse. My feet have really started hurting more lately and thinking maybe since I started with a personal trainer it could’ve been too much too soon. IDK. I’ve worn Reef flip flops for years and now really realize what a big mistake. I just purchased ASICS gel Kayano shoes since they are highly recommended. Now I’m pretty sure I have Achilles tendinitis in my left foot and can barely walk. I can’t take NSAIDS and I’m a terrible patient but you guys really have helped me understand the way it works. I do see a podiatrist Tuesday and can’t wait to see what he says. I don’t want to quit exercising but we will see. Thank you guys for enlightening me.
