Plantar fasciitis

For plantar fasciitis, there are two main things you can do for yourself at home. First, in the morning you should massage the area either with your hands, or by rolling golf or tennis balls with your foot and then working to pick them up. This is important to counteract the tension that usually builds up over night. Once you are up and moving around, stretching the calf muscle is also important as it will release tension on the bottom of the foot.

Using acupressure can also be helpful. You can use points such as KD 1, LU 8, UB 60, GB 37 and around the areas where you feel the most tension or pressure pain.
