    No running. Row instead. Stretch calves after every workout. Wear lifters for heavy lifting. Take a Frozen water bottle and roll it under your feet 2x a day. Supportive shoes.

    When mine flared so bad I could hardly walk I resorted to elliptical. Also a really good running shoe helps the most. I switched to Brooks and barely have any issues anymore.

    Stretch and vigorously massage your calves. There are 3 specific trigger points in our calves that refer pain to under the heel. You'll know when you find them because it will hurt. Dig deep! A foam roller or tennis ball is great for this.

    Wear good shoes, and dont wear the same pair 2 days in a row.

    Avoid activities that require a lot of jumping or similar impact. My PF led me to weight lifting and inline speedskating, both of which I now love.

    Acupuncture provided immediate relief.
