Plantar fasciitis, the heel pain caused by irritation of the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot can sometimes be relieved by a simple low technology treatment as reported in the NY Times. A new study, published in August in the Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, finds that a single exercise could be very effective. It requires standing barefoot on the affected leg on a stair or box, with a rolled-up towel resting beneath the toes of the sore foot and the heel extending over the edge of the stair or box. Visit the following website to get additional details on the exercise.
