Are you struggling with the painful symptoms of PLANTAR FASCIITIS🦶?


One of the common questions people ask is whether it's better to stay off their feet or keep moving. 


Let me shed some light on the best approach.


The short answer is…


…resting is not recommended for PLANTAR FASCIITIS🦶. 


While your first instinct may be to avoid putting any pressure on your painful heel, staying sedentary for an extended period can make the condition worse.


Here's WHY…


PLANTAR FASCIITIS🦶s is an overuse injury, caused by tiny tears and inflammation in the thick band of tissue along the bottom of your foot. 


When you stop using this tissue altogether, it can become weaker and less flexible, leading to more pain and a longer recovery time.


Instead, the recommended approach is to limit high-impact activities that aggravate your symptoms, while still incorporating gentle, low-impact movements. 


This could include:

  • Walking on softer surfaces like grass or a treadmill


  • Doing seated or standing calf stretches


  • Performing foot and ankle strengthening exercises


The key is to find the right balance between rest and activity. 


Avoid standing or walking for long periods, but don't completely stop moving. 


Light, regular exercise can help reduce inflammation and speed healing.


Of course, everyone's situation is a bit different.
