For plantar fasciitis, I know that most will tell you to stretch the foot, but please please refrain from over stretching it. I actually suggest try not stretching it at all during your recovery time. Over stretching is what typically causes plantar fasciitis in the first place. Put a cold compress on it, especially after any activity on your feet. You want to get down any inflammation so the healing process can begin. Blood flow is most essential for healing. The nutrients and oxygen it carries will help mend the tears in the fascia and will add elasticity and lubrication to prevent further damage. I highly recommend looking into the BFST foot wrap. It promotes circulation to help accelerate you healing, as the bodies natural ability to do this is quite slow. This is what I used to heal my foot. It got me back running in a month and half. The site with it also gives tonnes of great info on plantar fasciitis: http://kingbrand.com/Plantar_Fasciitis_Treatment.php?REF=1110PV0.00
I have also become a believer in what taping can do for Plantar Fasciitis. I didn't start taping until about 3 weeks into my treatment regime, but as soon as I did, I could feel the difference. Your plantar just feels more stabilized with it on. I love it and try to tell everyone about it!
Hope this reaches the people who also suffer from this.
