Plantar Fascia Stretching

for Plantar Fasciitis

Specific plantar fascia and calf stretches performed first thing in the morning and before standing after rest, repeated throughout the day.

How it works

Stretching reduces tension in the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, improving flexibility and reducing the micro-tearing that causes inflammation and pain.

What to watch for

Consistency is critical — stretching must be done every morning before taking first steps. Improvement is gradual. Most effective when combined with supportive footwear.
