Do you have nagging heel pain in the morning? Try this  Plantar Fasciitis relief exercise! We can help! Keep reading below 👇

Plantar Fasciitis ain’t fun! It can make mornings dreadful because you know its going to hurt when you get out of bed. 😢 While most plantar fasciitis exercises recommend some form of stretching, we find a lot of these cases are not truly “Plantar Fasciitis”. 

At the clinic, we see this a lot in symptoms underlying Sciatica or irritation to the Sciatic Nerve🤯. The sciatic nerve runs from your low back, all the way to your heel. A mild form of sciatica does not give you the searing leg pain most people describe. Instead, they can mimic as "Achilles Tendon" problem, "HEEL" pain, or "Tightness" under your feet.🦶❌

Give this "stretch" a try before you stretch your calves again, and see if you can find relief from doing this exercise. If you do, please (pretty please) stop stretching your calves. You are probably irritating the sciatic nerve even more without you knowing you are.🙏

1️⃣- While sitting, find an area in your calf muscles where it is most tender to pressure with your fingers. 

2️⃣- Once you have identified an area of tenderness, hold on to that area and pump the ankle back and forth for 30 reps. Aim to do 2 sets of 30 reps. 

3️⃣- If this brings you relief for your heel pain or plantar fascia pain, you may not have true Plantar Fasciitis but rather an underlying nerve complaint. 

❗Please remember, you should NOT ❌feel more heel pain while doing this exercise.
