Stretching Exercises: The mainstay of treatment for plantar fasciitis is stretching. You should do this daily. You may need to sleep in a splint designed for this. You may need to use flexible band, do toe risers, roll foot on frozen can of liquid, and perhaps see a physical therapist. Stretch, stretch, stretch!

Combo treatment. : The more you can do together, the better: #1: supportive shoes. #2: firm inserts or orthotics. #3: oral antiinflammatories (check with your doctor). #4: icing (10 min at a time). #5: stretching your foot and calf (keep your knee straight and your heels on the ground, don't bounce, and hold the stretch for 60 seconds). You may also need physical therapy or cortisone injections.
