Plantar fasciitis is frequent in running, walking, hiking, and similar sports. It is a common complaint, making walking painful. However, mobilizing plantar fascia before physical exertion may lower its risk. It is also suitable for rehab. Step 1 – Stand straight with one of your feet resting on a small ball. Gently move your feet forward and backward over the ball between your foot and heel ball. Step 2 – Make sure to apply adequate pressure to feel a stretch but not pain. Repeat 8-10 times 3 sets in a row Once-daily 5 days a week
