Stretching exercise for plantar fasciitis increases mobility in the muscles under the foot, also called the plantar fascia. We calls the exercise "rolling stick".
Problemstilling
Do you struggle with pain under your feet, or tight calf muscles and Achilles tendons? Does it cramp under the foot or in the calf during activity or at night? This exercise will help to release tension under the foot, such as can also be the reason why the calves and Achilles tendon are also tight.
Guide
Place the foot on a stick, and distribute the pressure evenly over the area that hurts. Roll back and forth for about 1 minute. You have to angle your foot slightly inwards to hit well under the foot, and put as much body weight as you can bear on the stick. Previously we recommended using a golf ball or tennis ball for this exercise, but a stick is actually better as it lies stable and nice on the floor.
