Plantar Fasciitis

Freeze an orange and roll your feet on it

Mine acted up for a month until I went hiking last year. The inclines helped strengthen everything around it and it got better.

Now I get on an incline treadmill for 20 mins twice a week and it hasn't come back.

One of those braces you wear at night to keep your foot from drooping is what helped me get rid of it.

Exercise your feet. There have been several threads and tons of opinions on here. Freeze a water bottle, surgery, inserts, special shoes, etc.

I have seen several articles and videos about it. I took a shot and started deadlifting barefoot and more athletic lifts standing up. I haven't had it in years. The article that convinced me showed the Indians in the Mexican Mtns that run almost a marathon a day with just a strip of leather on their feet.

You weren't born with padding on your feet and all the Dr's, etc. that prescribe cushioning are just making the muscles in your feet weaker. I see old guys at work that look like they are wearing platforms. I have also heard S&C guys say that modern trainers don't emphasize the feet enough. We don't walk or run hardly at all as a society, so training your feet should be a priority.

My man!


Modern footwear is killing us. Go get you a pair of Altra, Vivo, or Xero shoes. Jump rope, walk, and go to the gym in these shoes. Your feet are weak and you need to strength them, your ankles, and calves.

Get a pair good fitting pair of Birkenstock clogs, or sandals.

By far the worst advice in this thread.
