Second working on the calves. Many massage the plantar itself, but the root cause is often tightness in the calves making the workload for the plantar f too high.
A second thin on the calves is using a "strassburg sock" during night. Keeps everything stretched, if one's one of those with initial pain in the morning because it has "settled" in a non flexed state.
Not sure if I agree on soles, though. Some people have feet that needs correction. Or at least that having used soles one's whole life, suddenly switching it up can lead to more harm than good. For me, finally getting a custom molded sole has solved a lot of issues I've been dealing with my whole life (wide foot, extreme arch).
(most of my pf knowledge is based on me and friends getting it from running, other causes might have other characteristics)
- estaseuropano 5y agoI had custom soles a long time of my life, which were super expensive and made it agonizingly difficult to buy matching shoes. A good physiotherapy treatment and a few simple stretching exercises that i do each evening have taken away all that along with fifteen years of knee and ankle plain. Anecdote is not data but I'm 100% convinced that the soles made it worse for me, apart from the >10k spent on soles and shoes. I can go running again without pain!
