I battled PF for ages, tried literally everything, and when nothing worked, my feet were in pain I decided to do the dumbest thing in the world and try to only thing I was told I shouldn’t do - run.
I picked a day when my plantar fascia was not too painful and did the first training from c25k plan (roughly 8 minutes of jogging if I remember correctly).
It actually helped me. Don’t try it at home, I think I got lucky because my PF was really not a PF anymore. But I would never found out if I did not run that day. I’ve been running daily ever since, no issues whatsoever.
I essentially had to relearn to walk to clear mine up. Rolling your ankles makes it much worse, but the entire leg is involved in that “decision” and it starts from the gluteus minimus muscles and builds down.
Went from pain after more than 2km total per day to walking a half marathon just over three hours. And then my knees decided they didn’t like that at all and have not yet forgiven me.
