5 out of 5 stars

This is what I did for plantars fasciiatis, stand straight facing a wall. Place your well foot to the wall, move the sore foot away from the wall-behind you- until you feel a good streach in the back of your leg stretch and release, stretch and release, do this 3 or 4 times, the next day do the same thing, you probably will not notice any change except you can move the sore foot back farther each day, keep doing it everyday, soon the problem will be gone, and you will have no heel pain. It has worked for me and a family member.

Thank you Rexe, I am not exaggerating when I tell you that this gave me instant relief.

Within seconds of the first stretch, 90 percent of the pain is gone. I can walk normally. Best remedy yet for me. Thanks

I don't believe you "stretch" to help heel spur(s). That is bone or growth of bone.

Stretching helps plantar fasciitis.

What a lot of people believe is the stretching is helping the heel spur itself. It does not help the spurs. It helps with the pain from plantar fasciitis. Eases tightness of the muscles. And in turn gets rid of, or reduces, foot pain.

I used to have terrible pain in my feet. Foot doctor got me into good shoe inserts and started a stretching program. Every day have to stretch.

Check with you foot doctor for what stretches to do and how often to do them.
