    Plantars Fasciitis is from an overused/overstretched plantar ligament which can be caused by poor shoes, running or even walking a lot on concrete, overweight... Stretching the calf works but DO NOT stretch the plantar ligament itself. Those roller balls and water bottle techniques too just make it worse. It needs rest. You can get it the blood flow it needs with something like a blood flow stimulator, I used this one: http://www.kingbrand.com/Plantar_Foot_Treatment.php?REF=52PV107. It will heal with rest. Cold techniques will help with pain (not the frozen water bottle, it's too rigid and rough) by getting rid of inflammation but it won't heal it.

    Good luck!
