Questions about exercising while treating plantar fasciitis may include the following:
- Should I cut back on my exercise? How many days per week, how long, and what exercise should I do instead?
- Should I ice my foot after I exercise? If so, for how long each time, and how long should I continue the icing?
- Are there exercises I can do to make my foot and ankle more flexible? What are they, and how often and how long should I do them?
- Do you think physical therapy or referral to a sports medicine specialist, foot specialist (podiatrist), or bone, muscle, and joint specialist (orthopedist) is appropriate?
