Life Plantar Fasciitis - Page 3

Ugh, I forgot one of the best things I did: tape the foot in the morning to bring the plantar fascia closer to the arch. That works wonders. I did that for about a month or so. (I finally stopped doing that after about a month or so, because most of the pain had gotten away and the tape itself was wearing my skin raw from ripping it off and replacing it every day.) There's lot of advice on the internet about ways to tape the foot for plantar fasciitis. They are all based on the same concept. Even a few simple straps of tape will help, provided you get that fascia closer to the arch.

This. Athletic tape around the foot or the arch to provide extra support.there is an underwrap if you don't want to shave the hairs on the top of your foot.

Also, I don't have to take any medicine for my plantar fasciitis. Not even aspirin for pain.
Stretch and support does the trick.

These half-moon balance balls work, but are rather expensive. They sell these at dicks sporting goods and wally World.

Do I stand on it or what?

You would need to work up to it, but to answer the question (yes).

I have had PF several times. Had shots twice and it did the trick. I would be fine for about a year, then it would come back. Something I have done is put a golf ball in the freezer and roll it around with my foot, that seemed to help some. My doctor told me if I get it again he will suggest surgery. He said I would never have to deal with it again if I had the surgery done.

Is this the best taping method?

THESE insoles work really well for me. They have almost the same support as my orthodics and have much more cushion.

Dragonocho · 01-28-2012, 08:27 PM

I have not tried that technique but it looks ok to provide support. I wrap tape all the way around the foot for compression.

This worked really well for me. I played a game of basketball (which normally eat my lunch) and am having few adverse effects from plantar faciitis.

I've got some custom made orthodic insoles from my chiropractor. I'll keep this in mind though because the ones I have are too hard to do much impact exercise with so I pretty much leave them in my work boots.

I have been using them for about 6 yrs.

I was diagnosed back in the late 90's and the ONLY shoes I buy are New Balance. You buy them and use the "Shoe Last" to get what you need. I use the SL-2 shoe last that has a higher instep. I have had the best luck with these not making my feet hurt when walking all day.

Put your foot on a tennis ball and press down hard, run back and forth quite a few times, s few times a day. Shoe inserts, Advil and run it off. That's was the only thing that cured mine.
