Oh my gosh never in my life was I ever gonna wear crocs🤮 BUT you’ve made me decide to get a pair to wear at home, I’m home with chronic pain & fatigue pretty much all of the time so home footwear is my main footwear. Had PF for over 2 months now, being even less active than before is not doing me any good! Thank you for your advice, I’ll get straight into it & hopefully I’ll be walking normal again!🙏🏻
I was so mad when I woke up the next morning after doing these exercises and the top of my foot hurt. After a few minutes of walking, the pain in the top of my foot was gone and my plantar fasciitis was GONE!!! I take back all the blue words I used towards you both. Thank you very much!
ONE THING WORKED for me. Night Splints. I bought two LARGE hard plastic night splint braces (with straps) that keep your feet pointing back and toes pointing up. I spent less than a hundred bucks for both. Without the splints, your feet point down during sleep and heal that way a little bit. When you wake, you put your foot in a normal position, and it rips apart what healed during the night, and it hurts like a mo-fo. The boys (Bob & Brad) explained it like this. It's like having a bad scab on a knuckle and it heals in one position and then when you use your fingers it opens up the scabs. This plus some massaging did the trick for me. I also found shoes called "Sketcher's Walkers" ($35-ish) that also give me relief beyond any other foot pads, different shoes, or anything else. Good luck out there. Thank you Bob & Brad!
I spent way too much money on a popular pair of recommended walking shoes with built in arches. They made the situation worse. Bought some Skechers for under 40 dollars…a soft, bendable shoe with minimal arch support and very little lift… much better. The Skechers and the stretches as shown on the video have really helped. Reading your comment about Skechers seemed like such a coincidence.
If your a side sleeper, like me, the night splint probably won't be of much value. The foot tends to stay at a natural 90 degrees anyways. I'm doing the massage with a frozen water bottle which seems to work well for inflammation. I purchased two pairs ($22 /pr.) of orthopedic pressure socks that are designed for plantar fascia recovery and prevention and a pair of high arch, deep heel, memory foam insoles ($36). I am walking with a cane, which reduces the weight on that foot by more than 50 percent. It's only 3 weeks since the injury and the pain has reduced considerably and it seems to be well on the way to healing.
@@akkuverma2328 The ability and timeline to heal a Plantar Fascia issue will always depend upon the degree of damage. The least drastic are often "micro-tears" that occur in the body of the fascia tissue. The next level is a tear that usually occurs along the side edges of the fascia tissue. The most serious, is a fascia rupture in which the fascia tissue is fully torn and detached from itself, or from the bones it connects to. The degree of injury is rarely diagnosed by an x-ray, with better results from an ultrasound scan and the best diagnosis from an MRI.
Plantar fasciitis is a mechanical problem so the solution is also mechanical. A good old fashioned custom made orthotics prescribed by your podiatrist will solve it. The only issue here is your insurance will only cover one pair per year. There is a Walk Lite brand orthotics that you can buy for twenty bucks per pair that works almost as well as the custom made ones. You can buy three pairs for the cost of your copay for two podiatrist visits, ordering and picking up your orthotics, ridiculous.
I've been troubled by P.F. pain since the beginning of the year. I sent for a 50$ ankle strap "CareSole Plantar X-Wrap" advertised on Facebook: tried it for 2 months but it was totally useless, no improvement whatsoever so have returned it for a refund. Watched your 2 videos last week and then sat watching TV with a tennis ball rolling under my foot each evening AND did the big-toe stretch the following mornings before I got out of bed...Result: MAGIC! Almost no pain at all for that first walk to the bathroom! You are my Heros! It's easy to continue with this as part of my get-up routine to ensure it heals completely and keeps the pain from returning. Thank You So Much ! Kind regards from a Brit living in Greece.
A couple of years ago, I was having plantar fasciitis pain in both feet. Bob and Brad had a video describing a foot taping procedure for plantar fasciitis. I ordered the special tapes and followed their instructions. That was instantly helpful. Then, watching more from Bob and Brad taught me the calf stretches. Those proved so helpful that I could stop the taping.
@@akkuverma2328 I would try the stretches described in this video first. If those don't help, then find the Bob and Brad video on Plantar Faciitis that describes the taping procedure. The tapes they describe are a bit expensive, but they did work for me. The stretches work for me, too, and don't cost anything. If I knew about the stretches first, I might not have needed the tape.
I'm a professional dance instructor and had plantar fasciitis for years. It became chronic in my late 40's. I tried this night splint, and it did not work. I also suffered from bunion pain. The ONLY thing that worked was SPREADING MY TOES using special five-finger toe shoes. I've been wearing five finger toe shoes now for over ten years, and am proud to say, that at age 61, I have ZERO foot pain. I can't tell you enough how SPREADING YOUR TOES really works!!! They took a couple of months to get used to, and you have to start slowly, but over time, my feet are stronger than EVER!!
Another easy but effective treatment for PF is to roll your foot over a frozen water bottle on a towel. I do this every morning after I get up, and it has helped greatly. This was recommended by my podiatrist. Thanks for your great videos guys!
Since my foot pain was starting to be in my calf also, I was convinced I had some disease spreading. 🤷♂ Thanks for explaining the connection all the way up the calf.
Thanks guys. I was doing those stretching exercises but the outside bottom of my feet was still hurting. I started to wonder if i really had Planters fasciitis. Because my feet only hurt when i went walking for exercise. Other than that my feet never hurt. Then i saw the walking part. No one ever said it might be the way i was walking, except you guys. My heels were hitting the ground. I tried changing the way i walked like you pointed out. WOW NO MORE PAIN! I tried all kinds of inserts, shoes nothing helped. Then you guys show up. Thanks again
I have plantar fasciitis and it's been getting better because I've been wearing a compression sock and sleep with my foot against the wall and I tell you it's been working!
I just bought two pairs of a compression sock that this designed for Plantar Fascia recovery and prevention and found a level of instant relief as soon as it was applied. Wearing it through the night also and I'm no longer getting the stabbing pain from the first steps in the morning.
Watching here in the Philippines,im 37 years old.I have plantar faciitis,thank you for your demo of home treatment, this is so helpful for us,those who have plantar faciitis.I dont have money to go to the doctor,thats why i will do home treatment like you teach,thank you so much,this is very big help fo us especially like me,dont have money.
I had this plantar fasciitis, got layoff from work … watched Bob how he applied the tape on the leg and feet, I didn’t it and I use a thick shock with some Velcro and used at night….. After a week I was better but after week 3 I was almost normal with some pain, it finally got better, I had no pain!! I can’t thank them enough for helping me! It works !!!❤
I just wanted to thank you both for this information. I’ve had plantar fasciitis for weeks now and within 4 days after doing some stretching and more importantly massaging the fascia, I have very little pain and it’s in a very small spot. THANK YOU for your help in getting to this point so I can walk normally and almost pain free!!!!
just want to say thank you. watched this n couple others last night n its changed me foot pain so much for the better. in just 1 day the stretches of me foot while sitting on me bed. hurt like hell but really made a difference while walking today. still hurts n sore but tons better. ive ordered a night splint n a roller thing to do daily exercises with. again thank you. x
After dealing with this pain for years and heel spurs, my heels would feel like they were on fire, I went on ebay ordered a pair of XERO barefoot shoes added a pair of insoles from some asics gel shoes i had and after one month of walking my dogs every day in these shoes my plantar pain is 100% gone, took about 3 days to get used to the shoes, now they are my most comfortable shoes, also the pain started to go away week by week, so be consistent
@@alicegarcia9873 I ordered hokas bondi 7, wore them for about 8 months and my pf got slowly worse. What’s helping me more now in a few days is flat shoes with a zero drop in the arch. Made by Altra. They still have some cushion which I think I need with my active lifestyle but a big wide toe box and zero drop is the keys imo.
I dont have money to go to the doctor,thats why i will do home treatment like you teach,thank you so much,this is very big help fo us especially like me,dont have money.
All of a sudden I couldn’t walk. Couldn’t move my right foot. Then I came across your video and did the exercises and my foot is at least not too stiff and painful.
This is perfect. I spent a long day walking in Munich recently (I'm in my 50's ). The next day, my right foot, ahead and behind the ball of my foot, and the middle of the base of my foot were so sore. I ended up liming around, which then gave me a pain just below and towards the outside of my knee joint. I was like an old man ! It took a few days to settle down ( I limited walking, and stretched and massaged my foot by hand morning and evening ). I've just ordered massage balls on foot of watching this video. I'll investigate one of those massage gun things too. Thank you for this video ! Greetings from prague, CZ
Hey, just wanted to say that I've seen quite a few videos on this and the tips you guys gave has helped me the most, so thank you! I feel like this problem is resolving 🙏
Almost 3 years of pain, injection that never helped, expensive high arch shoes, devices and in the end it was chucking it all in favor of a pair of flat sole almost archness, pull on round toed sneakers, alternating with bare feet on my hardwood floors, and yoga toe spreaders that fixed me. It hurt really bad for a few weeks, but I have been completely cured now since early spring. I can wear any shoes, go barefoot in or outdoors, but still do my stretches and toe spreaders. I belong to a line dance club too.
Recently i visited saudia arab for my umrah pray and walked almost 8km daily due to some reasons..its been more than 45 days i really feel pain below my both feet, specially in the morning.....chcked up with online dr but i gues he didnt properly diagnosed it...am gona try your home remedies hope i will get the releif
Took one full year to finally be free of the agonizing pain from PF. I did everything everyday - ice roll, massage, stretching, pain cream. The healing process was probably prolonged due to my stand up busy job.
@@umis941do calf stretch and towel Stretch for plantar fasciitis, each for 5 min in morning and night. I did this for 1.5 months and my pain had reduced to 40% and the course of my PT is 3 months
I've had it for 6 months now and it's not getting better. But I'm required to wear killer steel toe shoes at work. Plus I'm flat footed and 6 feet tall. I still need crutches in the morning.
@@umis941I’ve been dealing with it now for almost 2 years (I’m 36), also dealing with a bulging disc and sciatic pain. If the PF isn’t better in a year from now, I’m gunna seriously consider surgery for it
To be very honest I checked this video just 3 days back and started doing only stretching of the foot forward and backwards and it has helped me , that sharp pain in my lower side of both heels has gone , however it needs to be continued so that it will be helpful for me , otherwise I had unbearable pain in the morning while walking and the inflammation...omg , throughout the days I would be tensed that what will help me without taking painkillers , thank you so much for guidance .
VERY VERY helpful! I started walking 3 miles a day and developed PF very quickly. Thanks for this! I will try it for sure! and HELLO from a fellow youtuber!
Thank you so much for this video. I have finally came to realise that my foot injury from 3 years ago has not only given me ankle issues but also plantar fasciitis. Will be doing these daily now.
Transitioning to barefoot shoes was the only thing that got rid of my plantar fascitis pain. Building muscle in the feet is the only way to take the stress off the plantar fascia.
Thanks! I was getting symptoms in both feet in the morning and I could barely walk, but the morning stretches took care of it. Now I need to get some decent work shoes!
This was so very helpful. Thank you so much. The stretching immediately helped me walk. Pain gone right away. I really appreciate this information. God bless you!
I play a lot of badminton, the Plantar and Achilles pain have been a bother. Had the Achilles fixed and then started to have pain at the bottom of my heels. I've got to say the night splints have been, surprisingly, quite usefully! I've only been using them for about a week, tried one night without them and can definitely feel the different. I now wake up with almost no pain and the sore spots when i press on my heels are almost gone. Thanks so much for the tips!!
i comment before why the hell morning its such pain , now it makes sense the foot heal in a odd way , thats why the first step is so bad , which mean why it can go on for long without healing ...
Dude, these guys are awesome. In my mid twenties I had issues with my back and nothing helped until I came across their page. Started doing their recommended stretches every morning and it finally healed my back. Now, In my mid 30’s I’m back with plantar fascia pain. Thank you for explaining so thoroughly. Really appreciate what you guys do!
Thank you so much 🥹🥰 Little stretches and massage right after waking up before placing my foot on floor did wonders. Great video. Will do that every day now. ❤☺️
There are some good temporary fixes in the video but if you want to get rid of PF you need a stronger focus on strengthening your lower leg muscles, gastrocnemius, soleus, posterior and anterior tibialis, and your peroneal muscles (longus and brevis). You’re basically building up your capacity so that it’s higher than the loading you’re putting on your legs/feet. Heel raise variations and gradually increasing weight is a good place to start. Start out slow and don’t do too much too fast or you’ll be pretty sore for a few days to a week depending on what kind of endurance/strength you have.
Thank you Guys, you are the most informative on this Internet, that I found this actually helped me narrow down a diagnosis and what to really do with it., I know it’s a sports related injury or work. I do tons of walking up and downstairs. I wear the best shoes you can get but yet this hurts I’m 63. I’m on my feet 14 hours 15 hours a day. Ty
My foot doctor gave me shots in my heal, and I wore the brace to keep my foot straight while I slept. It still took a year to two years to quit hurting. It was the most painful thing I had to put up with while working.
@@ritaschiferl3615 buy the book Plantar Fasciitis survival guide by William Prowse. It's improved by symptoms massively since my last comment, I'm not 100% fixed but I'll be there and you will be too 👍
When I was eight years younger, about 57, I had plantar fasciitis. My PT had me do an exercise of picking up standard size marbles! Yep. I'd pick them up with my great toe, mostly. I did that for about two times each day. It worked. 😃
Yes, I'm finding that exercising the toes downward, rather than upward provides greater relief to the Plantar Fascia. Picking up things with your toes, or using your hands to roll the toes down will stretch the muscles and tendons on the top of the foot, which provides slack to the Plantar Fascia, allowing the fascia to relax and heal. From the other side of the plantar fascia, stretching the calf muscles and Achilles heel allows the fascia some slack from that opposite direction.
About four visits to the Chinese acupressure clinic at a local mall solved the problem. There are so many contraptions, insoles, stretches, splints, podiatrists, cortisone shots being recommended… but acupressure with a knowledgeable practitioner eliminated the issue for me- permanently.
11 years for me , just got a massage gun and hoping these tips and tricks help. the first couple of years I figured I could power through the pain but it got to the point where simple workouts are almost impossible not only due to the pain but the inefficient energy return . You end up exerting so much energy to do a third of what you could do injury free, it becomes almost impossible to do anything cardio other than walking and even then your not pain free. I recommend to everyone take care of the issue early on . Have been rehabbing for just over two weeks and could feel and see a remarkable difference but you have to stay religiously consistent with Bob&Brads advice .
Great video! So glad you finished with footwear, I am a huge Altra fan! Walking in foot-shaped shoes and barefoot through the grass have been game changers for me
I had this crippling condition for months until I tried a usb rechargable vibrating foot roller. What an absolute miracle it was - once or twice a day for about 2 weeks and the pain was gone ! Life has returned to normal !!
@@annamariamason5532 I'm in Australia and got mine at Aldi but they're widely available in other stores. If you can't get out to the shops, I'm sure you'll be able to order one from Amazon. Best wishes to you - I hope it proves to be a miracle as it was for me 🙂
Wear Crocs when you get up. I did it all but wearing those shoes around the house and a flexible athletic shoe (try to bend your shoe) outside brought me back to pain free feet.
Thank you! I'm goiig to start the exercises tomorrow. I ordered the brace too. Mine came on almost overnight, worst pain ever! It can take you down! Less walking then equals less exercise and weight gain, so vicious cycle. Thanks again. Hope this helps . 🙏🏼
Best and more informative video about plantar issues I've seen, I really understand now why the night splint is important, I felt like it wasn't doing anything and stopped using it but it's not about feeling like it's doing something it's about not letting the foot flop. I'll be trying again with my night splints after this video cause I'm in so much pain I'm walking like a 90 year old and I'm only 34!!!!
I have to let people know my experience. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and did physical therapy for it. I had multiple visits with a podiatrist. I also spent hundreds of dollars on new high-end shoes, as well as custom insoles and custom night splints and used 2 separate foot therapy devices. All of this was not helping, plus I never really believed I had plantar fasciitis. Because of my suspicions, I started doing some research online and found a video that explained everything. The real cause of my pain (in both feet) was a pair of shoes I had worn the day before the pain started which caused my heals to be bruised…..simple as that.
@@ahmadalh5234 The very first thing I did was stop using the custom insoles which caused my right foot to start having Tarsal Tunnel pain. Then I stopped wearing the one pair of high-end shoes that I kept. The doctor’s script was to stabilize my ankles which wasn’t what I needed. Then I purchased New Balance shoes…one is a FRESH FOAM ROAV 1 and the other is FRESH FOAM 1080 v11. These shoes have excellent padding and helped me from putting too much pressure on the heals of my feet when I walked which was something else I did….kept from putting too much pressure on my heals when I walked. I continued to use a vibrating water foot bath. I believe I may have used Voltaren gel on my heals. Voltaren is a topical anti-inflammatory. I didn’t need to use acetaminophen much. I used a walker ALOT. I gradually got better over a couple of months (but it took me 4 months to diagnose myself). During those couple of months I was not very mobile. If I had been working at a job, I would have had to go on short term disability, which is typically a health care benefit available through an employer.
I went though this a few years,it got so bad i thought my heel bone must be cracked or broken and demanded xrays to be taken,turned out it got so bad that i ripped my Achilles about 50% off the bone and have major bone spurs on both sides of my heels. Forget the night splints they are completely useless, all you have to do is before you put any weight on your feet from either sitting down for more then 5mins- sleeping overnight is stretch your feet/ankles in every possible direction.. If its really bad it may take a few days-a week before things start to heal up and the pain starts to fully go away,but it will eventually. Now the important thing to remember is to continue this stretching regardless if you have pain or not,it needs to become part of getting out of bed.. If you get back to not stretching the pain will start to come back and even for a day or two that pain sucks ass.
@@plasticcornet4069 no my torn Achilles was a result of my untreated planner fasciitis!! Keeping your fasciitis stretched at night sounds like a good idea but it's not cause the damage needs to heal,this is why it's tight in the morning. Best treatment is to simply take 5mins to stretch everything before you put any weight on your feet. I'm now 5 years removed from all of those issues and I got through them without any surgeries,just stretching in the morning.
I bought a brace like that and wore it in bed every night. When I got PF I was actually in London England. Wow every AM I was in pain and could barely walk. I ordered the brace when I got home. The brace helped and I think PF was gone in about a week. Don’t waste your time with exercises cause the brace is a faster way to heal.
From the medical supply place, I received two Darco night braces that had many adjustments which were never comfortable, I spent much of the night messing with all the adjustments and finally decided they didn’t help…but I did try. I even went back to the medical supply to see if perhaps I wasn’t adjusting them correctly. They might be okay if you have a fairly straight leg, but I have muscular legs which don’t conform well.
I’m a nurse and on my feet on cement floors in the hospital! I’ve had plantar fasciitis since I started nursing 5 years ago! It’s in one foot and I have tried so many things and it is better when I’m not at work ! I have orthotics in apparently shoes for planters! I have tried taping and all the exercises ! Any suggestions for while I’m at work in those nasty floors?
I have the same issue I'm on concrete..Wore my souls of Shoes out..Bought new souls didn't help...Changed shoes it's still painful on right foot where heal is but the front of the heal...
After months of pain, I finally found a lot of relief from the ball massage using a small spikey rubber ball about 2 inches in diameter. Though I should also try the night splint. For those of you who are driving a lot, good positioning of your foot helps.
I found relief from PF on both legs by giving up on flat shoes and wearing high heel ( 3-4 cm high) even indoors ! This is a simple thing and has helped healing.
Same here. I have been running for years but developed crippling pain 6 months back, straight after an unusual summer cold lasting 2 weeks. After that, I went back to the gym and started getting shin splints, plantar fascitis and pain in my lower joints after workouts...😢 the pain got so bad that now I wake up in the grip of heel pain every morning and take 10 minutes to get out of bed. I sometimes put my left foot on the floor that's how bad the pain gets and it has me limping around on one foot. The doctors said I have flat feet and its the reason behind my problem. I started wearing heeled shoes and boots on those painful days and also went shopping around town walking in my clarks stiletto heel shoes for 4 hours without any pain whatsoever😮 Its interssting because I normally wear trainers.
Puling the toes back will in fact increase pain because you are pulling the fascia in the "pulling" direction that's already causing pain. The goal is to NOT help pull even more from the heel.Better idea is to stretch the front of the leg, the ligaments and muscles in FRONT of the shins. Grab your hand, point the toes down, away from the shin, hold for a few seconds, release and repeat a few times. Special massage balls are a good idea but a tennis ball is better at the start so it isn't causing TOO much pressure on the fascia. Feel better everyone :-)
I've done ALL OF THIS, and it hasn’t worked. Had this since June! Plus, I have tightness in one of my legs in my thigh. Nothing helps!! I miss running 😢
A friend just recently told me this from her physical therapist: on a foam roller, lie on the side with the leg that’s hurting; thigh has to be on that foam roller. Support yourself with your hands and arms, and roll back and forth (or rather up and down) on that thigh. For more effect, cross the other leg lightly over the hurt one and keep rolling. It hurts like hell but helps so much!
I had an issue with the very upper front part of my thigh, kind of more when your leg meets your hip. It was the weirdest thing. It would just”catch” on me with incredible pain and I was able to do a lunge to relieve it. Went to physical therapy, but didn’t take away that pain when it “grabbed”. Interestingly, what fixed it was a rather,forceful fall I took while gardening. Broke my wrist, but no more pain in my hip area. Strange, huh?
Hi guys, thanks for this, I am really in pain right now, my heels are sore and the outer sides of foot, can only bear standing in trainers. Am a 48 yr old woman and feeling like I am falling apart . Gave myself MN from heels which is more healed now.
I had this years ago. My doctor wanted to operate, and said it is only going to get worse. I did not want surgery. i waited, and it went away, never to return.
The only thing I did was wait. The body know s how to cure itself. One tip get those corn round foam self-stick bandages, and put it on, centered on the nodule. They help take pressure off, so one can walk.@@tammy_ut
Hey Guys, I purchased the same night splint in the video and it seems to help with healing my plantar fascitis. However, the problem I'm having with the splint is that part that holds the heel seems to dig into the back of my leg while I sleep creating a hot spot similar to a blister. I've tried wearing a sock with it but that doesn't help much. Do you guys have any other ideas or suggestions besides a sock or to help prevent the hotspots from forming and creating blisters? Thanks!
Before getting up, use a massage gun on your calves in the morning. Then do a downward dog to stretch the whole chain. Then before leaving the house, stretch your calves for 30 seconds. Lean your foot into the wall like the incline board. If you have adhesions, go to a competent massage therapist or chiro to do active release on your fascia. Break up those adhesions and loosen up your feet. If you have flare ups, cool it down by rolling on a frozen water bottle. Be consistent and you can beat it. Also wear Crocs.
Splints r hard at the begging, but u get used to and it’s really useful. I could sleep because of the pain I had at night, but thanks to the splints, at least at night I’m gd. But it hurts all day, it’s ruining my life too. Gd luck with it
@carolinebraga7028 after 2 years off almost no walking due to the pain. I went to my gp's surgery where they have a physiotherapist and there is no long waiting time to see her. So she told me that the stretches I had been doing are all wrong and the reason why my foot has not healed. She gave me new exercises and honestly I now go out for walks everyday 45mins in the morning an 20 in the evening. I feel like a new woman. Its not completely gone but im learning to massage my feet and the heal which I find helps. Still have some issues in the morning when I first get up but I have to say the PF doctor on YT her advice on footwear as been a real gamechanger. Look her up angela walk PF doctor her advise an tips hopefully will help you 🙏🙏. Goodluck as I no how this condition ruins yr life.

When I stand more than five hour, pain, my heel
This is the most complete video about plantar fascitis I've seen so far.
I was so mad when I woke up the next morning after doing these exercises and the top of my foot hurt. After a few minutes of walking, the pain in the top of my foot was gone and my plantar fasciitis was GONE!!! I take back all the blue words I used towards you both. Thank you very much!
ONE THING WORKED for me. Night Splints.
I bought two LARGE hard plastic night splint braces (with straps) that keep your feet pointing back and toes pointing up. I spent less than a hundred bucks for both.
Without the splints, your feet point down during sleep and heal that way a little bit. When you wake, you put your foot in a normal position, and it rips apart what healed during the night, and it hurts like a mo-fo. The boys (Bob & Brad) explained it like this. It's like having a bad scab on a knuckle and it heals in one position and then when you use your fingers it opens up the scabs.
This plus some massaging did the trick for me. I also found shoes called "Sketcher's Walkers" ($35-ish) that also give me relief beyond any other foot pads, different shoes, or anything else.
Good luck out there.
Thank you Bob & Brad!
I spent way too much money on a popular pair of recommended walking shoes with built in arches. They made the situation worse. Bought some Skechers for under 40 dollars…a soft, bendable shoe with minimal arch support and very little lift… much better. The Skechers and the stretches as shown on the video have really helped. Reading your comment about Skechers seemed like such a coincidence.
If your a side sleeper, like me, the night splint probably won't be of much value. The foot tends to stay at a natural 90 degrees anyways. I'm doing the massage with a frozen water bottle which seems to work well for inflammation. I purchased two pairs ($22 /pr.) of orthopedic pressure socks that are designed for plantar fascia recovery and prevention and a pair of high arch, deep heel, memory foam insoles ($36). I am walking with a cane, which reduces the weight on that foot by more than 50 percent. It's only 3 weeks since the injury and the pain has reduced considerably and it seems to be well on the way to healing.
Hi,is it possible to heal PF ? Hows ur now??are u completely pain free now?
@@akkuverma2328 The ability and timeline to heal a Plantar Fascia issue will always depend upon the degree of damage.
The least drastic are often "micro-tears" that occur in the body of the fascia tissue.
The next level is a tear that usually occurs along the side edges of the fascia tissue.

The degree of injury is rarely diagnosed by an x-ray, with better results from an ultrasound scan and the best diagnosis from an MRI.
Plantar fasciitis is a mechanical problem so the solution is also mechanical. A good old fashioned custom made orthotics prescribed by your podiatrist will solve it. The only issue here is your insurance will only cover one pair per year. There is a Walk Lite brand orthotics that you can buy for twenty bucks per pair that works almost as well as the custom made ones. You can buy three pairs for the cost of your copay for two podiatrist visits, ordering and picking up your orthotics, ridiculous.
I've been troubled by P.F. pain since the beginning of the year. I sent for a 50$ ankle strap "CareSole Plantar X-Wrap" advertised on Facebook: tried it for 2 months but it was totally useless, no improvement whatsoever so have returned it for a refund. Watched your 2 videos last week and then sat watching TV with a tennis ball rolling under my foot each evening AND did the big-toe stretch the following mornings before I got out of bed...Result: MAGIC! Almost no pain at all for that first walk to the bathroom! You are my Heros! It's easy to continue with this as part of my get-up routine to ensure it heals completely and keeps the pain from returning. Thank You So Much ! Kind regards from a Brit living in Greece.
Thanks for your feedback...I am facing the same issues what to do
Thanks. I will also do so
Hi,hows ur foot now?
@@hannansaiyed9248hi any solutions?
Pls tell us is your pain fully gone
A couple of years ago, I was having plantar fasciitis pain in both feet. Bob and Brad had a video describing a foot taping procedure for plantar fasciitis. I ordered the special tapes and followed their instructions. That was instantly helpful. Then, watching more from Bob and Brad taught me the calf stretches. Those proved so helpful that I could stop the taping.
That's great to hear! So glad those ideas helped!
I used athletic tape and felt instant relief, too! Much more reasonable than the k tape.
Hi ,is it for real help,do the taping works? Facing a lot of pain righg now? please reply
@@akkuverma2328 I would try the stretches described in this video first. If those don't help, then find the Bob and Brad video on Plantar Faciitis that describes the taping procedure. The tapes they describe are a bit expensive, but they did work for me. The stretches work for me, too, and don't cost anything. If I knew about the stretches first, I might not have needed the tape.
@markholm7050 after how much time doing the stretches helps in relieving the pain? Can u guess
I'm a professional dance instructor and had plantar fasciitis for years. It became chronic in my late 40's. I tried this night splint, and it did not work. I also suffered from bunion pain.
The ONLY thing that worked was SPREADING MY TOES using special five-finger toe shoes. I've been wearing five finger toe shoes now for over ten years, and am proud to say, that at age 61, I have ZERO foot pain. I can't tell you enough how SPREADING YOUR TOES really works!!! They took a couple of months to get used to, and you have to start slowly, but over time, my feet are stronger than EVER!!
Another easy but effective treatment for PF is to roll your foot over a frozen water bottle on a towel. I do this every morning after I get up, and it has helped greatly. This was recommended by my podiatrist. Thanks for your great videos guys!
Yes, this is a great idea and one we mention in a previous video! Thank you for bringing it up again for those who haven't seen it!
Nice tip - thanks!
But how do you get the frozen bottle without walking? Maybe I can train my 5 year old to get to for me!

Are you ok now?
Since my foot pain was starting to be in my calf also, I was convinced I had some disease spreading. 🤷♂ Thanks for explaining the connection all the way up the calf.
Absolutely. We are happy we could help.
Ikr 🙂
Thanks guys. I was doing those stretching exercises but the outside bottom of my feet was still hurting. I started to wonder if i really had Planters fasciitis. Because my feet only hurt when i went walking for exercise. Other than that my feet never hurt. Then i saw the walking part. No one ever said it might be the way i was walking, except you guys. My heels were hitting the ground. I tried changing the way i walked like you pointed out. WOW NO MORE PAIN! I tried all kinds of inserts, shoes nothing helped. Then you guys show up. Thanks again
I have plantar fasciitis and it's been getting better because I've been wearing a compression sock and sleep with my foot against the wall and I tell you it's been working!
I will have to try that
I just bought two pairs of a compression sock that this designed for Plantar Fascia recovery and prevention and found a level of instant relief as soon as it was applied. Wearing it through the night also and I'm no longer getting the stabbing pain from the first steps in the morning.

How is it now ?
Hows it now?
I have it too and I’m 38
I had this plantar fasciitis, got layoff from work … watched Bob how he applied the tape on the leg and feet, I didn’t it and I use a thick shock with some Velcro and used at night…..
After a week I was better but after week 3 I was almost normal with some pain, it finally got better, I had no pain!! I can’t thank them enough for helping me! It works !!!❤

I just wanted to thank you both for this information. I’ve had plantar fasciitis for weeks now and within 4 days after doing some stretching and more importantly massaging the fascia, I have very little pain and it’s in a very small spot. THANK YOU for your help in getting to this point so I can walk normally and almost pain free!!!!
Glad to hear that, thanks for watching!
Hi,wanna ask a question regarding pain,do u faced foot pain under all over your foot i mean heel area also,and standing for how long gave u the pain?
just want to say thank you. watched this n couple others last night n its changed me foot pain so much for the better. in just 1 day the stretches of me foot while sitting on me bed. hurt like hell but really made a difference while walking today. still hurts n sore but tons better. ive ordered a night splint n a roller thing to do daily exercises with. again thank you. x
Hi,how's it now?
After dealing with this pain for years and heel spurs, my heels would feel like they were on fire, I went on ebay ordered a pair of XERO barefoot shoes added a pair of insoles from some asics gel shoes i had and after one month of walking my dogs every day in these shoes my plantar pain is 100% gone, took about 3 days to get used to the shoes, now they are my most comfortable shoes, also the pain started to go away week by week, so be consistent
Thank you for sharing!
I'm slowly transitioning to my barefoot shoes. About a week now and my feet feel 1000x better.
I really want to try that shoe. I use Hoka but I still have pain after few hours. Which website did u order your xero shoe ?
@@alicegarcia9873 I ordered hokas bondi 7, wore them for about 8 months and my pf got slowly worse. What’s helping me more now in a few days is flat shoes with a zero drop in the arch. Made by Altra. They still have some cushion which I think I need with my active lifestyle but a big wide toe box and zero drop is the keys imo.
I tried but it never got any better. Seemed to progress for me. Glad yours worked!
I dont have money to go to the doctor,thats why i will do home treatment like you teach,thank you so much,this is very big help fo us especially like me,dont have money.
Have u tried it? Any relief 😢?
All of a sudden I couldn’t walk. Couldn’t move my right foot. Then I came across your video and did the exercises and my foot is at least not too stiff and painful.
So glad we could help.
This is perfect. I spent a long day walking in Munich recently (I'm in my 50's ). The next day, my right foot, ahead and behind the ball of my foot, and the middle of the base of my foot were so sore. I ended up liming around, which then gave me a pain just below and towards the outside of my knee joint. I was like an old man ! It took a few days to settle down ( I limited walking, and stretched and massaged my foot by hand morning and evening ). I've just ordered massage balls on foot of watching this video. I'll investigate one of those massage gun things too. Thank you for this video ! Greetings from prague, CZ
Happy to help! Best of luck!
I got this pain after my dance practice sessions, with your home remedies pain reduced and now I m feeling good.

Two thumbs up! The various methods to manage the pain and heal this awful thing is very much appreciated.
Happy to help!
Almost 3 years of pain, injection that never helped, expensive high arch shoes, devices and in the end it was chucking it all in favor of a pair of flat sole almost archness, pull on round toed sneakers, alternating with bare feet on my hardwood floors, and yoga toe spreaders that fixed me. It hurt really bad for a few weeks, but I have been completely cured now since early spring. I can wear any shoes, go barefoot in or outdoors, but still do my stretches and toe spreaders. I belong to a line dance club too.
“ flat sole almost archness” what did you mean here?
Please tell me what you’ve done to fix it exactly
I’m in agony for the past two years I’ve tried everything
They probably meant "archless" - ie the sole wasn't raised at the arch.
Thank You! Followed your tips using stretches and the tennis ball technique and pain in foot is gone. 🦶
Wonderful!
I hope it helps a lot ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! Just started suffering from this and at times can barely walk. Starting immediately 😃💗

You are such an inspiration to everyone ! Keep your positive attitude and hard work up! God bless you daily.
Took one full year to finally be free of the agonizing pain from PF. I did everything everyday - ice roll, massage, stretching, pain cream. The healing process was probably prolonged due to my stand up busy job.
I’ve had it for years now, and nothing seems to cure it 😢
@@umis941do calf stretch and towel Stretch for plantar fasciitis, each for 5 min in morning and night. I did this for 1.5 months and my pain had reduced to 40% and the course of my PT is 3 months

To be very honest I checked this video just 3 days back and started doing only stretching of the foot forward and backwards and it has helped me , that sharp pain in my lower side of both heels has gone , however it needs to be continued so that it will be helpful for me , otherwise I had unbearable pain in the morning while walking and the inflammation...omg , throughout the days I would be tensed that what will help me without taking painkillers , thank you so much for guidance .

Thanks, B&B. I always go to you guys for my aliments. You helped with my knee a few years back. You're a great help to me.

Thank you so much for this video. I have finally came to realise that my foot injury from 3 years ago has not only given me ankle issues but also plantar fasciitis. Will be doing these daily now.
Hi,how's it now?
Transitioning to barefoot shoes was the only thing that got rid of my plantar fascitis pain. Building muscle in the feet is the only way to take the stress off the plantar fascia.
I’ve been slowly working on my flat feet for weeks now, it’s hard! This helps! Thank you!
Happy it is helping! Keep up the great work!

I play a lot of badminton, the Plantar and Achilles pain have been a bother. Had the Achilles fixed and then started to have pain at the bottom of my heels.
I've got to say the night splints have been, surprisingly, quite usefully! I've only been using them for about a week, tried one night without them and can definitely feel the different. I now wake up with almost no pain and the sore spots when i press on my heels are almost gone. Thanks so much for the tips!!
i comment before why the hell morning its such pain , now it makes sense the foot heal in a odd way , thats why the first step is so bad , which mean why it can go on for long without healing ...

Great video. Will do that every day now. ❤☺️
I've used a night splint and found it very helpful.
Hi,is your pain gone?
There are some good temporary fixes in the video but if you want to get rid of PF you need a stronger focus on strengthening your lower leg muscles, gastrocnemius, soleus, posterior and anterior tibialis, and your peroneal muscles (longus and brevis). You’re basically building up your capacity so that it’s higher than the loading you’re putting on your legs/feet. Heel raise variations and gradually increasing weight is a good place to start. Start out slow and don’t do too much too fast or you’ll be pretty sore for a few days to a week depending on what kind of endurance/strength you have.
Thanks a lot of both...Your video is very useful ,,informative and in easy language .bless u

Hi,how's ur foot now?
My foot doctor gave me shots in my heal, and I wore the brace to keep my foot straight while I slept. It still took a year to two years to quit hurting. It was the most painful thing I had to put up with while working.
Until someone goes through this pain, they can never sympathize. It really is a miserable situation.
@@plovifygenuinely so true it's a horrendous Chronic injury and people who have not experienced it just think it's nothing
I had an injection 6 months ago. That, along with inserts kept me pain free. The pain is back and I won't endure another injection!!!
@@ritaschiferl3615 buy the book Plantar Fasciitis survival guide by William Prowse. It's improved by symptoms massively since my last comment, I'm not 100% fixed but I'll be there and you will be too 👍
Thanks! 6 months of pain , I will do it
How is it working for you?
Great video with really helpful information! Thanks, Bob and Mike!
When I was eight years younger,
about 57, I had plantar fasciitis.
My PT had me do an exercise of picking up
standard size marbles! Yep.
I'd pick them up with my great toe, mostly.
I did that for about two times each day.
It worked. 😃
Yes, I'm finding that exercising the toes downward, rather than upward provides greater relief to the Plantar Fascia.
Picking up things with your toes, or using your hands to roll the toes down will stretch the muscles and tendons on the top of the foot, which provides slack to the Plantar Fascia, allowing the fascia to relax and heal. From the other side of the plantar fascia, stretching the calf muscles and Achilles heel allows the fascia some slack from that opposite direction.
It's very helpful indeed. During the video these English subtitles were hiding start of most of exercise and pretty annoying 😮
This was fantastic and so informative. Your older video(s) on exercises for PF helped so much when I was at the worst of it!
Thank you! So happy to hear they helped!
It’s interesting that plantar fasciitis has such a distinct and typical clinical presentation
About four visits to the Chinese acupressure clinic at a local mall solved the problem. There are so many contraptions, insoles, stretches, splints, podiatrists, cortisone shots being recommended… but acupressure with a knowledgeable practitioner eliminated the issue for me- permanently.
Thanks for the advice
Get Diabetic shoes
Wow, thank you
Hi @avibongo please help I've been on this pain for 4 months now, can you help me with a contact for Chinese doctor if it's in south africa
Hi where is this chines acupuncture located I'm in south Africa
11 years for me , just got a massage gun and hoping these tips and tricks help. the first couple of years I figured I could power through the pain but it got to the point where simple workouts are almost impossible not only due to the pain but the inefficient energy return . You end up exerting so much energy to do a third of what you could do injury free, it becomes almost impossible to do anything cardio other than walking and even then your not pain free. I recommend to everyone take care of the issue early on . Have been rehabbing for just over two weeks and could feel and see a remarkable difference but you have to stay religiously consistent with Bob&Brads advice .
I suffered from severe plantar fasciitis for months. Only thing that relieved the pain was doing calf stretches.

Stretching the greater toe is a problem if you have both halllux rigidus and plantar fascitis. 😢
Best and more informative video about plantar issues I've seen, I really understand now why the night splint is important, I felt like it wasn't doing anything and stopped using it but it's not about feeling like it's doing something it's about not letting the foot flop. I'll be trying again with my night splints after this video cause I'm in so much pain I'm walking like a 90 year old and I'm only 34!!!!
Night splints for me was more of an aggravation than anything.
I have to let people know my experience. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and did physical therapy for it. I had multiple visits with a podiatrist. I also spent hundreds of dollars on new high-end shoes, as well as custom insoles and custom night splints and used 2 separate foot therapy devices. All of this was not helping, plus I never really believed I had plantar fasciitis. Because of my suspicions, I started doing some research online and found a video that explained everything. The real cause of my pain (in both feet) was a pair of shoes I had worn the day before the pain started which caused my heals to be bruised…..simple as that.
Thanks so much, so good of you to share.
and what did u do to treat it successfully?
@@ahmadalh5234 The very first thing I did was stop using the custom insoles which caused my right foot to start having Tarsal Tunnel pain. Then I stopped wearing the one pair of high-end shoes that I kept. The doctor’s script was to stabilize my ankles which wasn’t what I needed. Then I purchased New Balance shoes…one is a FRESH FOAM ROAV 1 and the other is FRESH FOAM 1080 v11. These shoes have excellent padding and helped me from putting too much pressure on the heals of my feet when I walked which was something else I did….kept from putting too much pressure on my heals when I walked. I continued to use a vibrating water foot bath. I believe I may have used Voltaren gel on my heals. Voltaren is a topical anti-inflammatory. I didn’t need to use acetaminophen much. I used a walker ALOT. I gradually got better over a couple of months (but it took me 4 months to diagnose myself). During those couple of months I was not very mobile. If I had been working at a job, I would have had to go on short term disability, which is typically a health care benefit available through an employer.
Thank you for sharing! Glad it turned out to be simple but so sorry you had to go through all that before figuring it out!
How did you figure that out? And how did your shoe bruise you that badly?
The stretches helped my plantar fasciitis, thank you!
Awesome to hear!
I went though this a few years,it got so bad i thought my heel bone must be cracked or broken and demanded xrays to be taken,turned out it got so bad that i ripped my Achilles about 50% off the bone and have major bone spurs on both sides of my heels.
Forget the night splints they are completely useless, all you have to do is before you put any weight on your feet from either sitting down for more then 5mins- sleeping overnight is stretch your feet/ankles in every possible direction..
If its really bad it may take a few days-a week before things start to heal up and the pain starts to fully go away,but it will eventually.
Now the important thing to remember is to continue this stretching regardless if you have pain or not,it needs to become part of getting out of bed.. If you get back to not stretching the pain will start to come back and even for a day or two that pain sucks ass.
The splints aren't for torn achilles that's why lmao
@@plasticcornet4069 no my torn Achilles was a result of my untreated planner fasciitis!!
Keeping your fasciitis stretched at night sounds like a good idea but it's not cause the damage needs to heal,this is why it's tight in the morning.
Best treatment is to simply take 5mins to stretch everything before you put any weight on your feet.
I'm now 5 years removed from all of those issues and I got through them without any surgeries,just stretching in the morning.
Yes to interviewing Juan. Your ideas for questions are all great. Please include . What was his version of how you met and how he felt?
I bought a brace like that and wore it in bed every night. When I got PF I was actually in London England. Wow every AM I was in pain and could barely walk. I ordered the brace when I got home. The brace helped and I think PF was gone in about a week. Don’t waste your time with exercises cause the brace is a faster way to heal.
thank you for sharing your experience!
What brace
From the medical supply place, I received two Darco night braces that had many adjustments which were never comfortable, I spent much of the night messing with all the adjustments and finally decided they didn’t help…but I did try. I even went back to the medical supply to see if perhaps I wasn’t adjusting them correctly. They might be okay if you have a fairly straight leg, but I have muscular legs which don’t conform well.

I have the same issue I'm on concrete..Wore my souls of Shoes out..Bought new souls didn't help...Changed shoes it's still painful on right foot where heal is but the front of the heal...
As a nurse, I suppose you have Short Term Disability which would allow you to completely stop walking. Use a wheelchair.
Get a different job. They will never change the floors. Btw, the floors are concrete.
Thankyou so much! Wish I’d seen this before I lined up my injection
After months of pain, I finally found a lot of relief from the ball massage using a small spikey rubber ball about 2 inches in diameter. Though I should also try the night splint. For those of you who are driving a lot, good positioning of your foot helps.
Thank you for sharing!
Bought the splint wore it at night for 3 weeks. It works
Had bad pain for years gone
Awesome to hear!!
I found relief from PF on both legs by giving up on flat shoes and wearing high heel ( 3-4 cm high) even indoors ! This is a simple thing and has helped healing.
Thank you for sharing!
This is interesting bc I noticed I felt okay on high heels and wondered why.
Same here. I have been running for years but developed crippling pain 6 months back, straight after an unusual summer cold lasting 2 weeks. After that, I went back to the gym and started getting shin splints, plantar fascitis and pain in my lower joints after workouts...😢 the pain got so bad that now I wake up in the grip of heel pain every morning and take 10 minutes to get out of bed. I sometimes put my left foot on the floor that's how bad the pain gets and it has me limping around on one foot. The doctors said I have flat feet and its the reason behind my problem. I started wearing heeled shoes and boots on those painful days and also went shopping around town walking in my clarks stiletto heel shoes for 4 hours without any pain whatsoever😮 Its interssting because I normally wear trainers.
Yes I wear 2 inch high heel flip flops and they are really comfortable. Better than what my foot doctors have ever mentioned. Wish work allowed them
Thank you for sharing the tips with us ! They're really helpful, especially for me since I've been dealing with plantar fascitis for a while 😊
Puling the toes back will in fact increase pain because you are pulling the fascia in the "pulling" direction that's already causing pain. The goal is to NOT help pull even more from the heel.Better idea is to stretch the front of the leg, the ligaments and muscles in FRONT of the shins. Grab your hand, point the toes down, away from the shin, hold for a few seconds, release and repeat a few times. Special massage balls are a good idea but a tennis ball is better at the start so it isn't causing TOO much pressure on the fascia. Feel better everyone :-)
THIS VIDEO IS GOLD..... thanks Bob and Brad.
I've done ALL OF THIS, and it hasn’t worked. Had this since June! Plus, I have tightness in one of my legs in my thigh. Nothing helps!! I miss running 😢
A friend just recently told me this from her physical therapist: on a foam roller, lie on the side with the leg that’s hurting; thigh has to be on that foam roller. Support yourself with your hands and arms, and roll back and forth (or rather up and down) on that thigh. For more effect, cross the other leg lightly over the hurt one and keep rolling. It hurts like hell but helps so much!
Make a tea concoction of cinnamon sticks, whole cloves. Turmeric (important)! Pepper, and Green Tea. Your whole body will be better.
I had an issue with the very upper front part of my thigh, kind of more when your leg meets your hip. It was the weirdest thing. It would just”catch” on me with incredible pain and I was able to do a lunge to relieve it. Went to physical therapy, but didn’t take away that pain when it “grabbed”. Interestingly, what fixed it was a rather,forceful fall I took while gardening. Broke my wrist, but no more pain in my hip area. Strange, huh?

Hi guys, thanks for this, I am really in pain right now, my heels are sore and the outer sides of foot, can only bear standing in trainers.
Am a 48 yr old woman and feeling like I am falling apart .
Gave myself MN from heels which is more healed now.
I had this years ago. My doctor wanted to operate, and said it is only going to get worse. I did not want surgery. i waited, and it went away, never to return.
What did you do for healing.
The only thing I did was wait. The body know s how to cure itself. One tip get those corn round foam self-stick bandages, and put it on, centered on the nodule. They help take pressure off, so one can walk.@@tammy_ut
Ty so much for these videos..they sure helped my planter fasciitis
Hey Guys, I purchased the same night splint in the video and it seems to help with healing my plantar fascitis. However, the problem I'm having with the splint is that part that holds the heel seems to dig into the back of my leg while I sleep creating a hot spot similar to a blister. I've tried wearing a sock with it but that doesn't help much. Do you guys have any other ideas or suggestions besides a sock or to help prevent the hotspots from forming and creating blisters? Thanks!
I was very displeased with my night splints.
What brand was the splint?
Excellent video, very informative and thorough, thanks!
For everyone reading this, finding the banned book called the hidden herbs by anette ray should be your top priority
Thanks for sharing!
I never knew that you could do a freaking stretch while you're standing! Dang it I love it so much. Thanks you two!
Before getting up, use a massage gun on your calves in the morning. Then do a downward dog to stretch the whole chain.
Then before leaving the house, stretch your calves for 30 seconds. Lean your foot into the wall like the incline board.
If you have adhesions, go to a competent massage therapist or chiro to do active release on your fascia. Break up those adhesions and loosen up your feet.
If you have flare ups, cool it down by rolling on a frozen water bottle.
Be consistent and you can beat it. Also wear Crocs.
Thank you for being so helpful to others!!
You guys are a hoot and give great information. I appreciate your recommendations and will try them. Thank you.
Does it really go away? Its seriously ruining my life. Night splint I find impossible to sleep in. 😔
I use ace wraps.
Splints r hard at the begging, but u get used to and it’s really useful. I could sleep because of the pain I had at night, but thanks to the splints, at least at night I’m gd. But it hurts all day, it’s ruining my life too. Gd luck with it
@carolinebraga7028 after 2 years off almost no walking due to the pain. I went to my gp's surgery where they have a physiotherapist and there is no long waiting time to see her. So she told me that the stretches I had been doing are all wrong and the reason why my foot has not healed. She gave me new exercises and honestly I now go out for walks everyday 45mins in the morning an 20 in the evening. I feel like a new woman. Its not completely gone but im learning to massage my feet and the heal which I find helps. Still have some issues in the morning when I first get up but I have to say the PF doctor on YT her advice on footwear as been a real gamechanger. Look her up angela walk PF doctor her advise an tips hopefully will help you 🙏🙏. Goodluck as I no how this condition ruins yr life.
I did PRP injections for my PF and had great success 😊
