Pre Game

    Rehabilitation Excercises

    Content provided byProfessional Team Physicians

    Plantar fasciitis rehabilitation exercises

    The following exercises are examples of the strengthening routines commonly prescribed by physicians and physical therapists to help active people recover from plantar fasciitis.

    Depending on the specifics of your injury, some or all of these exercises may not apply. Always check with your physician or physical therapist before beginning a stretching or strengthening program.

    Toe raises

    Stand with the balls of your feet and your toes on a thick book (such as a phone book). Hold onto a support. Lower your heels to the floor slowly. Raise yourself slowly. Hold for eight to ten seconds. Repeat 15 to 20 times.

    Toe scrunch

    Place a cloth (for example, a towel) on the floor near your chair. Sit down, placing the toes of one foot on the cloth. Use your toes to scrunch up the cloth. (Keep your heels flat on the floor.) Repeat ten to 20 times.

    Drawing the alphabet

    Sit on a chair. Remove shoes and socks. With your feet off the floor, move your ankle and foot in patterns mimicking the letters of the alphabet. Do the entire alphabet.
