I would just like to add that I find short compression sleeves help relieve my PF. The biggest problem with them is that the ride up the foot and so I have sewn on a length of elastic which goes thong style between the big and second toe. I also have a pair of Spenco Yumi thongs/flip-flops which I wear in the summer, which provide good arch support. Great video though, well explained!
youtube doctor of the year !
Never a lot of cowboy boots and they don’t come with insoles I always buy an over-the-counter one but now since I have heel pain plantar fasciitis I have a custom orthotic insole and it’s a mazing… First day in brace that an athletic ankle brace that I use at night to keep my foot in a 90° position and I know how to basically wrapped up but it’s only logical that you need to support it and not to be a ballerina in bed giggles thank you for the video
I was about to get wild coping with the consistent discomfort. My ailment made me feel terrified and sad. I managed to cope with my ailment when I started trying out this plantar fasciitis remedy known as , Sαnzoka Mula (Go ogle it). The discomfort was long gone in just a week of using the remedy!
Thank you Julia
Guys best video does not equal best treatment. She is not addresing the cause of inflamation. Not even mentioning possible causes. Now i now podiatry is not for me
Info was extremely helpful. Thank you. I will get OTC orthotics tomorrow! I had to stop walking my dog due to this pain. 😥

Thanks for the help what about work boots?
If it doesn’t stretch, then how the problem is found on the fact that is stretched and we want to shorten it in order to maintain the arch?
Great Video! Explains so much.
Great video Julia!! Thanks for the time and expertise!!
By far one of the most common sense doctors….
Nice explanation Doc
Too technical
I`ve been encountering plantar fasciitis soreness on and off for 5 years and I have mainly tried just about everything. When I found plantar fasciitis guide , Sαnzoka Mula (Go ogle it). I was able to get rid of the discomfort within a week. I attained the great results three months ago and I’m so happy that I no longer feel the soreness caused by the disorder.
Thank you
My podiotrist told me I have this. I’ve been in excruciating pain with my arches for 7 years and it hurts not just the first time i step down, it hurts for every single second I’m on my feet. Are you meaning to tell me that I was misdiagnosed?
I always assumed I have plantar fasciitis, however although the pain is worse first thing in the morning, it’s painful throughout the day.
So people with flat feet needs orthopedic?
,.
*Just do that exercise in the book **_The Five-Minute. Plantar. Fasciitis Solution_** and be done with it!*
Today is my second day on plantar fasciitis treatment plan , Sαnzoka Mula (Go ogle it) and the discomfort is 95% gone! I can in fact stroll and run effortlessly, and I`m positive by the end of the week I`ll be able to get back to my soccer exercise. I can now show to my trainer that plantar fasciitis can be relieved within days.
wow outstanding information, I was loosing hope . Thank you Dr Julia.
Night splints are 20-40 dollars on average. Not hundreds of dollars.
hi, i think i hyper extended my achillies coming down from a ladder a few weeks ago so my ankle still gets sore throughout the day.
I have hypersensitivity in my toes as well
I’ve learned more very good information here than at my last 4 doctor’s appointments. I had the impression that if I stretched every day it would solve the problem. I’m so glad that I came across this video.
Thank you so much
thank you your explain very clear and i easy understand
Great treatment for plantar Fasciitis: https://amzn.to/2QH4wn8 & https://amzn.to/2WfSH8q
Why do I have hypersensitivity in n my toes as well
Had this now for a couple of months had an ex ray & have a spur no other problems showed up, but I have this pain continually, worse in the morning & after rest, but the pain does not get any easier as the day goes on, I’m on my feet for long periods due to my job got the insoles & tried the stretches & still no relief.
My heel burn all the time and painful all the time
I feel your explanation very encouraging. What are your thoughts on vids that are showing how a narrow toe box for the foot is also a cause and how toe spreaders or toe shoes that are realigning toes can help. Thanks for leaving this video up.
I got relief with steroid injections for many years. You are spot on with getting good arch supports and good sneakers or footwear. I like your practical approach to treating this and that you are truly looking out for your patient’s best interest
Cheers good info Julia I find a podiatry roller with gel and able to put in the fridge for freezing works great!
Thank you very good information that can help. I was well informed. Yes I now see how many useless products I have bought. And was now about to buy a foot massage machine that would have worsen the problems as the arch would have been massaged in the wrong direction. I have the super feet orthotics which I have not been using regularly at all , so I will now do that and continue icing.
Very informative. Thank you!
I have been dealing with foot pain for a about 4 months, I have had laser therapy, I have had 1 injection, I have three sets of orthotics, because I have lots of shoes . When I get out of bed and put my slippers on and yes there are orthotics in my slippers, I walk and have pain, but my pain does not lessen the more I walk. My foot will throb, my calf’s will tighten, yes I do stretches. I have another appointment with my foot doctor July 10th, I am requesting a exray.
My question for you, can my hip, pelvic or my sciatic nerve cause plantar fasciitis if these three are out of alignment and inflamed.?
Night splints are 20-40 dollars on average. Not hundreds of dollars.
For me the hard part now is deciding if going back to running will make my calcaneus worsen. I think it does but only slightly so I may take another month off
I don’t have ANY foot pain yet but extremely sweaty feet suddenly, with several audible cracks and snaps in the morning for the first few steps, am I on my way to this problem? Been trying to stretch my tight calves but like you said seems to be getting worse…
Great video! I have hat plantar fasciitis for a month and tried stretching and icing to no avail. After watching this video I learned what the problem was. I purchased Powelift orthotics and wore them one day and the pain subsided. Thank Dr. Julia.
The best video of the subject, everything explained in details and gives a lot of information what is necessary to do and what not for the healing process.
Thank you, I am going to do this.
Invasive.
I disagree that if it’s still painful after walking a bit, then it’s probably something other than Plantar Fasciitis. It’s still painful, just not as much. She also said it doesn’t stretch, so stretching exercises don’t work, yet everyone else says it does.
Why do you feel that gel padding the foot’s heel is useless, however earlier in the video low dye taping the foot was one of the recommendations listed. What is the difference?
Very helpful 👍tfs
Thanks Dr , you have explained very nicely . But if Dr don’t follow treatment protocol and prescribe step 8 first then what will happen to plantar fascia . Please explain .
