Thank you Rexe, I am not exaggerating when I tell you that this gave me instant relief.

Within seconds of the first stretch, 90 percent of the pain is gone. I can walk normally. Best remedy yet for me. Thanks

I have spent over a thousand dollars to try and find remedies for my plantar fasciitis. After suffering for a few years, the best remedies I have found are to stretch. Stretch for 3 whole minutes, 3 times a day. After a month, my feet went from feeling like walking on glass, to walking on bubblegum. I also used a golf ball for deep tissue massage. With the two, my feet feel great. When my feet hurt again, I go back to this and it clears it up.

Thank you. This was so helpful - I took your advice and modified it a bit for me. My walking shoes have a broad toe so with each step I spread my toes out wide and stretch my foot as I take my next step. The pain has moderated considerably and I now think I'll be able to take regular walks again -- after not walking regularly for over a year and seeing my health suffer accordingly. I found this site by googling plantar fasciitis. I sure do appreciate all the helpful tips. I started with the easiest one I could find and it helped! I'm going to start taking tumeric also.

Thank you! This has helped so much! I still have pain but as soon as it gets bad, I start doing this exercise. Am also trying grapefruit seed extract rubbed on at night, so perhaps the combination is what is working.

This is what I did for plantars fasciiatis, stand straight facing a wall. Place your well foot to the wall, move the sore foot away from the wall-behind you- until you feel a good streach in the back of your leg stretch and release, stretch and release, do this 3 or 4 times, the next day do the same thing, you probably will not notice any change except you can move the sore foot back farther each day, keep doing it everyday, soon the problem will be gone, and you will have no heel pain. It has worked for me and a family member.

I suffered months with debilitating foot pain (plantar fasciitis). Eventually, I found a ridiculously simple cure: Simply stretch the sole of your foot as you take slow steps. Roll over the ball of your feet gently, leave the toes on the ground and then stretch the sole of your feet for a second or two. Repeat 10 to 20 times several times a day. The foot pain got immediately better and generally subsided during the course of 2 or 3 weeks. I have since been pain free for one year.
