If you're feeling stiff, get a lacrosse ball and smash it out. http://www.mobilitywod.com/2010/11/episode-77-plantar-fasciitis/ http://www.mobilitywod.com/2010

- dfischer 13y agoThank you. I needed this...
- ethnt 13y ago1000 times this. I've found that golf balls work just as well. When you're doing this, make sure you're rolling it on a hard surface. Putting the ball on a rug makes it harder for you to roll around.
- stygiansonic 13y agoAgreed. If you don't have a lacrosse ball, a golf ball will also work. You can wrap it in elastic bands (those thick ones used to bunch broccoli up) to help reduce it sliding around. The key is to really grind your heel into it - it should hurt. My PT says this is basically breaking up the scar tissue that is causing the symptoms. I have gotten PF from running (stupidly did not give myself a break after setting some PBs) and this is the one treatment that's working. Best thing is that it can be done on your own time, while sitting at your desk, for example...
