5 steps to stop plantar fasciitis (slideshow)
Short-foot exercise
To do this exercise, you concentrate on squeezing the ball of your foot back toward your heel, without curling your toes. It’s a subtle motion that can be done anywhere, while you’re seated or standing.
To start, sit in a chair, bare feet on the floor. Engage the muscles in the arches of your feet as you try to slide the big toe of each foot toward the heel. Hold for 6 seconds and then relax.
Do 2 to 3 sets of 8 to 10 repetitions. Once this feels comfortable, try the move standing.
