provide extra comfort, cushion the heel, and reduce the amount of shock and
shear forces placed during everyday activities.
Every time your foot strikes the ground, the plantar fascia is stretched. You can
reduce the strain and stress on the plantar fascia by following these simple
instructions: Avoid running on hard or uneven ground, lose any excess weight,
and wear shoes and orthotics that support your arch to prevent over-stretching
of the plantar fascia.
If you want to learn professional exercises and how to completely eliminate
plantar fasciitis, I recommend Fast Plantar Fasciitis Cure by Jeremy Roberts. It is
the only guide on the market backed by over 23 medical studies and provides

professional PT exercises right in the comfort of your own home.
Rest is the most important treatment, in conjunction with everything
mentioned above, is rest. Follow the recommended treatment issued for your
condition and rest in order for this to heal. If not addressed, plantar fasciitis
can last not only months, but years.
If you are a very active person, slow down on your activities that put the most
pressure on this area. For example, if you love tennis or running long distance
and you are crippled after doing these fun activities, you need to stop them
temporarily until you resolve your plantar fasciitis. Instead, try doing
activities that are not going to create so much stress on the affected area,
such as swimming, biking, or hiking.
