Have you ever experienced foot pain just from standing all day, especially at work? Foot pain is your body’s normal reaction to standing or walking the whole day since your feet absorb all the body’s weight and they were not designed for heavy and constant pressure. To prevent foot pain from standing all day, you can put full cushion insoles in your footwear.

Been suffering from heel pain for two years now. I assumed it was related to barefoot walking (something I have been doing for 10+ years) on hard surfaces, but this website pointed towards working on my arches and calves.

Been rolling my feet on a Tennisball and stretching my calves and already noticing vast improvements. I was actually quite shocked by the tenderness in my arches the first time I rolled them, there is def something going on there that is affecting my heel.

The other thing to add to this is taping it. Some Good Athlectic tape and just tape it. Has helped me on numerous occassions and also if you go to foot doctor thats what they do. All theses tips are great but I always know I can throw some tape on it and it really helps when you are needing to rest or if you need to keep going and cant stop.

Been suffering with PF for about 8 months now. Couldn’t get into the physio for 4 months as closed due to lockdown in UK. Was doing some of the above with very slow improvement. Now complementing these stretches/tennis ball with weekly physio and pain starting to ease but was still really getting me down til physio pointed out that although pain easing very slowly, functionality is improving with no increase in pain. Focusing on the improvement in what I can do is really helping me manage the mental impact of not being able do the things I love for so long. Also, helping me to keep motivated to do the stretches.

I’ve just felt with the pain for about 4 years and I know that made it worse but Its to the point where I can no longer walk. I’ve tried everything and I feel no difference.

Thanks for explaining somethings you can do for plantar fasciitis. It’s good to know that there are stretches that can be done that can help loosen up the tissues. I’m interested to learn if you would need to do specific stretches based on which tissues are irritated or if it’s good to do all the stretches in general.

I’m 64 and have been struggling with PF for the past 9 years. When it first struck I saw a podiatrist who made custom orthotics and I went out and bought two pairs of shoes – Clarks black everyday flattie and New Balance trainers. Oh and a pair of rubber soled Padders slippers which are big enough to fit the orthotic in. Problem was completely solved it seemed. Then came the rub – since then whatever shoes I have tried, the heel pain comes back very quickly even with the orthotics. I must have bought over 100 pairs of shoes – some have been returned, some have had to be given away if I’ve tried them outdoors. My podiatrist can’t quite understand. Anyway just in case it helps anyone, I’ve now had about ten pairs of the same Clarks shoe – called UnLoop. Clarks have told me that it is their all time biggest selling shoe and has been nicknamed ‘the nurse’s shoe’. Sadly the New Balance trainers are on their very last legs and NB don’t make anything like the old ones (I’ve tried lots) – but the Padders slippers are still made and I’ve had several of those. The shoes/slippers are not a cure but at least I can walk in them without pain.
