Plantar Fascitis

[nh_user_957275]

I was just diagnosed with plantar fascitis.  My podiatrist recommenced icing the foot several times a day to reduce inflammation.  I also purchased arch support inserts at his office.

Does anyone have any further advice?  Thank you.

Make sure to really stretch out your calves and hip flexors daily till the pain resolves. 

The inflammation is just a reaction to the cause which is tight muscles higher up.

Good luck all heel and foot problems suck
