The first phase of recovery requires two weeks of non-weight bearing on the operative foot. Crutches, a walker, a wheelchair, or a rolling knee scooter can assist you in that. Two weeks after surgery, you can start adding weight to the foot. Keep in mind that the pressure needs to be added steadily. A significant increase in activity can lead to longer plantar fasciitis surgery recovery time.
The second phase of healing normally lasts 4 weeks. You should be able to change the walking boot to a supportive shoe in six weeks following the procedure. Full plantar fasciitis healing time takes several months. 10 weeks following surgery, you will be able to start recreational physical activity.
