Mr Harlow, you are the clearest presenter for advice on physio issues. I only follow you because of that. You are pitched at the pace, and you very pragmatic in outlook. You have done much for me. Thank you.

What a life saver! Have done the stretches for years. I am pain free. BUT still had some uncomfortable tightness under the feet. Grabbed two tennis balls and now roll them unter the feet twice a day. Already feel so much better. Thank you.

@kitimitsu10 Год назад

My physiotherapist had me doing all three of the exercises you recommended when I had plantar fasciitis and they worked great! After a few months of physio I was all better but a few years later I got plantar fasciitis again. After my second bout and another few months of physio, my physiotherapist advised to keep doing the leg stretch exercise against the wall regularly but in the shower. The warm water from the shower warms up the muscles and it makes the exercise easier. I've been doing that leg stretch exercise in the shower for several years now and have not had a return of my plantar fasciitis.

@annespellberg7173 Год назад

Do you know what helped me, the only thing really, is an orthotic arch support in my shoes. I buy them a half size bigger to slip in that insert. I don't use them much now, but when I feel my foot start to tighten up, in they go! It really did the trick. The balls and exercises didn't.

@kimberlycooper4170 Год назад

@@annespellberg7173 the same for me! I continue to always buy shoes and sandals with support for high arches to prevent reoccurrence. Although, sometimes I walk barefoot.

@kitimitsu10 Год назад

@@annespellberg7173 My doctor had prescribed orthotics and I used those and heel inserts but those did not help as much as the exercised did.

@curtisclement5467 Год назад

Calf raises are also an excellent exercise to strengthen the plantar fascia (if loaded appropriately of course) - see E3Rehab videos on plantar fascia pain. Also, if you perform it off a step or on a slant board, so you get a full stretch+2-3 second pause at the bottom, then it will essentially act as a loaded stretch as well. This has the advantage over static stretching in that the extra strength built over the long term will reduce the risk of your calves getting over-worked and thereby tightening, but static stretching has the advantage of being able to be performed much more frequently and without recovery constraints.

Freeze water in a water bottle (making sure not filled completely as it will expand) and you get icing of the area as you roll under your foot !!

I lost this video and have been searching for it. After 6 miles of hiking, I start getting a sharp and burning pain below my toes in my right foot. A short break helps but I’m definitely incorporating these exercises. I had plantar fasciitis years ago and it was awful.

@francescabarrow3826 Год назад

You might find it helpful to get a proper biomechanical assessment from a specialist musculoskeletal podiatrist. They specialise in understanding hoot function in walking. Clearly something is going on in one foot but not the other. You may benefit from custom made insoles to correct the timing cycle of your gait. Please make sure you choose an HCPC registered professional with at least 5 years experience and who specialises in biomechanics! Good luck Francesca Barrow

@kayelle8005 Год назад

I’ve been having problems with a sharp, burning pain in my right foot below my right little toe. Worse in the morning, then ok after I’ve walked on it a little bit and then if I walk too much it starts aching. At first when it was really bad and I couldn’t walk on it they thought it was a stress fracture and I wore a boot for three weeks after which it plateaued at the level I’m at now. Very frustrating.

About 10 yrs ago , I started to have tightness, cramp and pain in soles of my feet . Saw podiatrist - he thought it was due to poor circulation , who sent me to a vascular surgeon , who did many tests and prescribed medication , which I could not tolerate . It is such a relief to know that my symptoms were due to tight calves , I intend to follow your advise, I am certain , I will get better. Thank you very much Dr Harlow, Keep up the good work.
