resting your foot is usually what makes the discomfort or pain worse. The alignment of the foot causes the joints of the foot to misalign and lock, often causing tension on the heel and pulling the fascia taut. Icing the taught fibers, followed by using a tennis or massage ball can help to stretch out the fascia. An extremity adjustment of the foot can make a great difference in your foot pain, specifically fasciitis.
Yes . One should rest their foot and , excessive walking and excess pressure on the foot like standing. But there are various exercises should be performed which can extend the Achilles tendon. Comfortable soles should definitely be considered.
Who diagnosed the plantar fasciitis? That is the diagnosis for chronic foot pain. Rest can be part of the regime, but there is much more to it than that.
