Best Towel Stretch Exercise for Plantar Fasciitis

  • 7 years ago
If you're going to treat plantar fasciitis then you should aim to stretch the plantar fascia in your sole. Doing so will keep it from getting more and more inflamed -- and painful. Routine icing is always a good idea, but should be part of a good stretching routine. Towel stretching is a great habit to get into, and it’s an effective way to stretch out your sole's plantar fascia.

A towel stretch is key to most plantar fasciitis treatment protocols. Towel stretching stretches your calf muscle and your foot’s sole, thereby reducing tension and strain on your arch. This loosens your plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, which causes of the problem of plantar fasciitis to begin with. Stretching should be done several times a day, including right when you wake up. You should do about three sets of 30 seconds, three times daily, until your sole is pain free when you walk.

Using a plantar fasciitis night brace is also very effective for stretching out your plantar fascia while you sleep. A plantar fasciitis night brace is a device you wear while you sleep, which keeps your foot elevated. In the morning, your plantar fascia is “pre-stretched”, and you avoid having the arch and heel pain when you get out of bed. The Stretch-Away Plantar Fasciitis Night Brace is particularly comfortable, inexpensive, and easy to use. It gives you the pain-free results you want in the morning, without having to stretch first thing when you awake.
