RE: April 2012
I won't bore you with my experiences of PF.

The only clinically proven treatment I'm aware of is to put your foot on the other knee and pull your toes towards your shin. Hold this for 10 seconds. Repeat 10 times on each foot. Do this 3 times per day. Including first thing in a morning before you take a step. The rational is that PF is micro tears in your fascia and keeping it stretched lessens the damage.

I also recommend ice daily (I favour putting the whole foot in iced water rather than gels etc) and avoiding stiff shoe soles.

I'm not sure if anybody knows the root cause. Tightness somewhere else in the lower limb? Ankle flexibility?

Good luck. Keep us informed.
