Anybody have/had Plantars Fasciitis?

I had 6 deep tissue message on my feet
Hurt like HELL
But it worked for me, did it once a month, for six month straight

Stretching out my calves helped. I usually do it when I wake up before getting out of bed. When the pain subsides, I found strengthening my calves helped as well probably because doing it I am doing calf raises and that would stretch things out as well. More than just good shoes, I found getting the right shoes, that is, the ones that helped support what needed support. Sometimes that was less expensive shoes, but ones that worked well with my feet. That was a lot of trial and error to find the right ones for me. The annoying thing is since it is a tendinitis, it can come and go. Finally the think that helped me most was losing some weight.

I've had it twice in 15 years. I'm still getting over the last flare up which started in June of 2014. Do a search. I've answered this question several times. One thing to know: it doesn't go away. If you continue to run on it, you just continue with the same problem. You have to get off your feet. It sucks, I know. There are things you can do to make it feel better. Research those, and try everything. Different things help different people. I am still doing all of the recommended treatments that were given to me over a year and a half ago. And I'm only able to run one day a week.good luck!

I'll agree with Daisy your insoles are going to be your best bet with further preventing any more pain in your heels I suffer with it in my left foot and ice packs and resistant bands seem to help

KTtape will help more than anything with the pain and premote healing. Rolling with lacrosse, golf, bread roller, wine bottle a few times daily, and cross tissue massage.

I deal with many tendon and joint issues on a daily basis due to a joint disease and these have worked for me, especially the KTtape which virtuallt helped everyone that I've mentioned ed it to.

Insoles made my plantars worse. I fixed mine through a lot of stretching, rolling (I used a baseball), and rested it. And before I went heavy, i got fitted for shoes (I apparently needed a stability shoe based on my pronation).

I tried physical therapy, orthotics, stretch bands, towel scrunching, bottle rolling, and night splint/boot but nothing worked.

After several years of battle I decided to go against conventional wisdom and stop wearing shoes as much as possible. After regularly going barefoot for a few months, the plantar fasciitis was gone and hasn't returned.

The problem occurs because of a lack of flexibility in the foot. Restore the flexibility and you will cease the constant injuring.

I had it for a while. My sister is a physical therapist and she recommended that I buy some marbles and use my toes to pick them up and put them in a cup. It sounds stupid, but it works. I do it once a day, 40 marbles per foot and I haven't had an issue since.

I have had mine for a while. I got orthotics and do calf stretches, which really helps. I've also found biking helps. Wearing flimsy shoes and flip-flops can be a cause. It definitely hurts more when I wear flimsy flats/sandals/flip flops. I know several people have said deep tissue foot massages really help, and I am considering trying that. Some people also have to do physical therapy.
