@athletic_edgept Plantar Fasciitis👇 Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the heel and bottom of the foot due to irritation of the plantar fascia. Here are some exercises we prescribe to strengthen the foot muscles, improve arch support and stability, and help the foot better handle weight and movement to reduce stress on the plantar fascia. Resisted great toe flexion: Strengthens the muscles that bend the big toe, helping support the arch and improve stability during push-off. Toe yoga: Improves toe control and strengthens the small foot muscles that help support the arch and reduce stress on the plantar fascia. Foot bridges: Trains you to maintain the foot tripod (base of the big toe, base of the little toe, and heel), improving arch stability and weight distribution. Banded toe press RDL: Strengthens the foot muscles while challenging balance and control, helping the foot maintain its arch and handle load during movement. #plantarfasciitis #sandiegopt #sandiego #physicaltherapy
