Plantar fasciitis is a common and often painful condition that affects the heel, causing discomfort that can linger, especially in the morning or after long periods of standing. At Trinity Rehab, we understand how debilitating this can be, and we’re here to help you get back to your daily routine—faster and pain-free.
Our highly skilled physical therapists in New Jersey and Pennsylvania specialize in treating plantar fasciitis with a personalized approach that ensures you’re receiving care tailored specifically to you.
Effective Physical Therapy Exercises for Plantar Fasciitis
Although every case is unique, here are two examples of exercises often included in a plan for plantar fasciitis. Your treatment provider can help to demonstrate how to properly perform each of these exercises:
Plantar Fascia Stretch
This exercise helps stretch the plantar fascia, providing relief and improving flexibility. Sit in a chair with one foot on the floor and the other resting on your lap. Gently pull the toes of your elevated foot back until you feel a stretch along the sole. Hold for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat 10 times for each foot.
Plantar Fascia Mobilization
Using a small ball (such as a tennis or golf ball) or a frozen water bottle, gently roll the object under your foot to massage the tissue. This technique helps loosen the fascia, providing pain relief and increasing mobility. Perform this for 2–3 minutes per foot.
Customized Physical Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis
No two cases of plantar fasciitis are alike, and neither are our treatment plans. We begin with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your pain. From there, we’ll create a targeted therapy program that addresses your specific needs.
Our therapies go beyond standard stretches and exercises. Our clinicians are experienced in myofascial release, manual therapy, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, all of which play a crucial role in relieving plantar fasciitis pain.
As part of our individualized care, we may also integrate treatments like kinesiology taping and infrared therapy to further enhance your recovery process.
