Plantar Fasciitis
Strengthening

Strengthening the muscles in the foot and lower leg can help with shock absorption and support the plantar fascia. This will reduce impact on the foot and alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

‍

The exercises listed below are organized by difficulty level or the amount of weight-bearing they require. This allows for a progressive approach to testing and training the function of the plantar fascia.

‍

Begin with the first exercise and progress to the next when you feel ready.
