You did not mention if weights are involved. However, your movements are quick and inappropriate for the plantar facia. gradually appropriate stretching is required. There are appropriate stretches and custom orthotics for those people where stretching is not adequate. Sometimes one to two cortisone shots might be needed for acute pain. Should not be used as a cure. Yes. See a podiatrist
