Default Re: Plantar fasciitis

Thanks again for your reply.

Its been 6 months for me, but I did try crutches for 2 weeks, and relative rest for 3 months(ony walking indoors, little walking) with ice, meds and streching but I think the flip flops and the other sandals that had a 3/8" heel for indoors is whats preventing mine from healing, they don't have arch support.
Anyone know if Birkenstock sandals provide arch support? Im wearing NB motion control shoes 1122 w/ superfeet blue inserts now, and im going to a pod next week...

Birkenstocks do provide some arch support. You have to make sure though that they fit properly.

I have had PF when i started to get active again after many years of being inactive. Aside from all the good advice on orthotics ans other stuff, I have an exercise that my Dr. gave me that helped a lot.

In a sitting position place a towel flat under the bad foot. You then pull the towel towards you just by curling the toes of the bad foot with out moving the whole foot. Hope this helps.
