Plantar Fascia Rolling for Sore Feet
Plantar Fascia Rolling for Sore Feet
Here’s a handy self-release technique to soothe those achy, tired, or sore feet. Whether it’s the crack of dawn or the end of a marathon day on your feet, this exercise can be a real game-changer! It’s quick and easy, and if you make it a part of your daily routine, you’ll feel the difference.
How-To Steps:
- Grab a ball—tennis, lacrosse, or even a golf ball will do.
- Seated or standing, place the ball under the arch of your foot. Adjust the pressure based on how sensitive your foot feels.
- With tolerable pressure, gently roll the foot back and forth or side to side on the ball. Let the ball work its magic, massaging any tension along the arch of your foot.
- Roll for about 30 seconds and repeat for 2 or 3 rounds. As you get more comfortable, feel free to extend the rolling time.
*Pro Tip: If your foot is particularly sore, try rolling over a frozen water bottle for some extra relief!
*Never do an exercise that causes you pain*
