Broken legs and ankles heal better if you walk on them within weeks

I battled PF for ages, tried literally everything, and when nothing worked, my feet were in pain I decided to do the dumbest thing in the world and try to only thing I was told I shouldn’t do - run.

I picked a day when my plantar fascia was not too painful and did the first training from c25k plan (roughly 8 minutes of jogging if I remember correctly).

It actually helped me. Don’t try it at home, I think I got lucky because my PF was really not a PF anymore. But I would never found out if I did not run that day. I’ve been running daily ever since, no issues whatsoever.

Interesting. For me PF gets worse when I walk more. Even with special soles. Still trying to figure out what works.

Constantly stretching the heel in two ways works well for me, both to cute it and prevent it in the future.

The first is hanging your heels off a step and letting them stretch down, both with straight legs and bent knees (one foot at a time).

The second is putting your heel as close to a wall as possible, with toes on the wall.

Both work better with sneakers on.
