Also calf stretching by leaning forward towards the wall and keeping the foot flat on the ground.Has been feeling better in the mornings. My job has me on my feet all day on a concrete floor, so needless to say, not very comfortable by the end of the day. Who else has dealt with this and how did you overcome it? Am I doing what helped you? Or is there any other stretching or execises I could do? Thanks!
The best stretch for me when I had plantar fasciitis was to stand on the edge of a a raised porch, a curb, or something raised and lower my heels down.
