  • Good video. To all those who visit podiatrists... Don't waste your time/money. $500 custom orthotics do not work. Stretch and strengthen your foot, if you buy orthotics they may work temporarily as they will aid your weak muscles. Eventually more muscles will become weaker and you will require new orthotics. If you strengthen your feet properly and stretch before you exercise you will not need orthotics. I threw my out 2 years ago and ran the marathon pain free... Walla!

  • @oakemsmagir I got rid of mine simply by massaging the plantar and where it connects with the heel and GENTLY stretching the plantar in the morning. Over stretching it needs to be avoided. Then when I did sports I iced it for 15 minutes if it got inflamed. I also now stretch my calves before and after activity. 2 years of pain gone in a month.

  • Most mornings, it takes me 10 minutes before I can step out of bed because I need to stretch my feet. I had no idea there were actual stretches I could do! I was just winging it... with only temporary success. I look forward to trying these. Thanks for the upload!

  • had this issue all through rugby season, just aching pain and limping everywhere. ironically due to my flat feet the plantar facia, the actual tendon, does NOTHING. 3 points my doctor made was

    weight loss (obv lowers stress)

    increasing flexibility through the lower body

    correcting poor running technique (calves instead of glutes)

  • Very cool I may try this w/some of my clients who have plantar faciiatis.

  • This video was very useful, I've had this for 3 months now and it isn't improving. I do a lot of dancing so its holding me back quite a lot. My doctor didn't help much so thanks for this!

  • This did the trick for me. It is amazing I went to a PT for 6 weeks and they actually had me in worse condition. I would be in pain for days after a PT session. I quit for a couple weeks and then went to youtube and found this. Take care of yourself.

  • Had this. Its extremely painful and i just took painkillers to get through the basketball season

  • ahhh finally i find another use for those phone books..lol

  • thanks! very informative!
