Are there any lifestyle changes that can help alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis?

Asked 4 years ago

I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis for a while now and it's really affecting my daily life. I've tried different treatments but nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if there are any lifestyle changes I can make to help alleviate the symptoms? I'm willing to try anything at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A key part of plantar fasciitis recovery is to moderate your activity levels. If you are pushing yourself to the point of extreme pain then you are likely delaying the recovery time. Gentle stretches for the calf muscle, and heel raise exercises for the calf muscle’s strength can help. Inner soles to provide cushioning can also reduce strain. If appropriate, weight loss is a lifestyle change which can dramatically reduce symptoms, by reducing the load on the feet.
