We discuss the best plantar fasciitis exercises in this article. Before this, if you want to learn more about plantar fasciitis, read our article: What is Plantar Fasciitis. We know that the plantar fascia is a passive structure on the sole of your foot which means that it can’t contract like a muscle can.

It is influenced by how your foot moves, how much you use your feet, and how much stress you place through it. In this article, we will show you an evidence-based protocol that may help if you have been medically diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis. If you would like to know more about why people get it, then look at this article we have written.

These plantar fasciitis exercises are essentially a type of modified calf raise. Plantar fasciitis is a tricky condition to rehabilitate. There are lots of gimmicks out there that acclaim they can help however, this protocol is the most scientifically researched and evidence-based approach that we currently have available to us.

Other treatments that can offer pain relief are plantar fasciitis taping and plantar fasciitis insoles.

We recommend that you receive an official diagnosis before trying any of the above as there are numerous conditions that have a similar presentation to plantar fasciitis.
