Admittedly, I wasn't good to my feet - wore heels, didn't stretch enough, not sufficient TLC - but man that pain was rough. After 6 months PT and regular podiatrist appointments (with cortisone shots), I still couldn't get a good run in. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>Recently, I read on another forum that rolling a tennis ball (or golf ball) on the bottom of your feet while at your desk or on the couch acts as a nice muscle massager. Within about a week of using the tennis balls, plus continued icing and stretching, I'm now feeling back to normal. I also use better arch support insoles in both my running and walking shoes. </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>I just wanted to post this tip. I know everyone develops and heals from plantar fasciitis differently. Good luck to you!</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:a32eac15-cd3d-48c9-b8f2-1532b4d381c9] --> Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:34:11 GMT guest http://community.active.com/message/1259899?tstart=0#1259899 2012-08-30T14:34:11Z 8 months, 3 weeks ago 6 0
