Some recommendations for coping with plantar fasciitis **pain** while on your feet all day include doing physical therapy to get the correct stretches for your feet, rolling tennis balls under your feet, icing, and massage. You could also try Voltaren gel to relieve some of the pain. Stretching exercises can be particularly helpful; one example is placing the ball of your foot on the edge of a step or counter, facing so your heels are hanging off of the step, then dropping your heels until you feel a good stretch on the back of your leg down to the heel. Using ice at the end of the day can help reduce swelling.
Some suggestions for managing the **pain** include physical therapy to learn the correct stretches for plantar fasciitis, rolling tennis balls under your feet, icing, and massage. Wearing supportive shoes with arch supports can also help. One person recommended the brand Kuru for relief from heel pain. It's also suggested to avoid going barefoot and instead wear shoes with support or at least something soft. Medication along with stretching and icing every morning and night was also found to be helpful by some individuals.
