I do these exercises for my plantar fasciitis condition. They are excellent for stretching out the calf and plantar ligaments.

Thanks this helps a lot, I hurt my foot about five weeks ago to the extent of swelling and crutches. Diligently I have been getting back into movement with little to no pain. Although it's a small reoccurring pain I'm researching for a bit of therapy.

this exercise is good for pain in the sole.

a good exercise for ankle sprain is to lay on your bad with your legs up in the air, and slowly rotate your feet to make circles in the air, but don't do it if it cause you to much pain. it is important for your rehabilitation to get back fast to training, but don't rush, you have to do it step by step, if you used to stand on your feet like 4-5 hours, start to play until the pain emerge, even if it's less than hour practice, until you'll get better
