I had a nasty case of Plantar Fasciitis about three years ago. Worked with a podiatrist who prescribed many of the items mentioned above:

1) Reach down and touch your toes in the morning, pulling back on them slightly to get a good stretch going. Then lean against the wall, pushing your heel down to get a good stretch across your heel.

2) Put on your shoes and keep them on your feet all day

3) Ice using a can of frozen juice, sliding it back and forth under the ball of your foot

4) Finally, he made a pair of custom orthotics. I rip out the built in arch supports on all of my shoes and slide these in every time I change shoes.

It’s been a couple of years since I had any problems.
