    This is 100% opposite of everything I have read here - ha ah.

    Keys to fixing:
    - Do not stretch
    - Do not ice
    - Only walk barefoot
    - Do not wear inserts

    Lol, his description makes him sound like one of the quack chiropractors that tries to cure everything instead of traditional medicine. Probably not worth listening to this guy.

    I suffer from plantar-fasciitis off and on, and stretching and inserts definitely help. I never tried icing and I walk barefoot while at home, so I can't comment on the effectiveness of those.

    Also, even thin people can suffer from this, unfortunately. I had one of my worst flare ups ever when I was only 130 lbs. Now at 215 I am fine.

    Each time it happens, it takes months to go away :(
