Is rolling on a tennis ball good or bad?

i have heard conflicting stories about the tennis ball/golf ball.  Some say you should loosen it up but some say it needs to be tight to do it’s shock absorption job.  Look elsewhere for problem they say!  But where!

Both my wife and I have been afflicted with Plantar Fasciitis.  Mine was more extreme since 646-653, it took a good 6 months before I could walk comfortably.  In my situation, the problem was caused (or should I say aggravated) by poor quality shoes that were lacking good arch support.

Driving a bus throughout the Minnesota winters, I would wear snowmobile boots to keep my feet warm.  With no arch support, in a matter of a few months, the damage was done and I had such foot pain that walking more than a few hundred feet became pure torture.  Of course, I was also guilty of most of the other risk factors, so I should have expected problems well before they arose.

Purchasing a good quality work boot (MB2-633) which offered a stout arch support and good ankle support was the first remedy for me. Plantar Fasciitis is often referred to as flip flop disease because the root cause of the problem is lack of arch support or ankle support. One thing for sure, flip flops don’t offer any support.

Beyond good shoes, I also purchased a set of Dr. Scholl’s Massaging Gel Heel Cups.  The combination of the two provided some immediate relief. I could then continue my day to day life as I worked to correct the condition.

About a year later, my wife came down with Plantar Fasciitis.  Being familiar with the problem, we addressed it vigorously and her recovery was much faster.  Of course, she wasn’t very happy about the fact that as we age, we need to wear more practical footwear that offers good arch support throughout the day.

She has accepted her “granny shoes,” and we both continue to wear cushioned shoe insole inserts to guard against the recurrance of Plantar Fasciitis Heel pain can quickly lead to a loss of mobility. With a little common sense, you can correct this painful condition. And better yet, you can avoid it altogether.

I got my tibial nerve mobilised by my soft tissue therapist and it made an immediate difference.  I had tried everything before this but not a person had mentioned the possibility of a nerve impingement.  I do my own nerve glides now and it hasn’t returned.

I had tried everything else, shots, pads, ortho shoes, nothing worked. But now, I’m back in my cowboy boots and dancing up a storm.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.

You may have plantar faciitis or have heel spurs. Roll a golf ball with your foot while sitting at the computer. Start with about 10 minutes on each heel and add more each day. This works best on carpet as the ball tends to roll away on hard surfaces but you could try putting a towel on the floor and that might do it. Keep this up every day and your pain will disappear, not over night but it will. I had a heel spur removed by surgery before I knew about this simple exercise and got another on the other foot and was told about this by a friend. Even though I was scheduled for surgery again, I tried this and never did need surgery. This was almost 4 years ago.
Also, very important to wear good shoes and never go barefoot even in the house. I wear a pair of Birkenstock sandals in the house and keep them right by my bed so I step right in to them even if it’s just to get up to go to the bathroom. Barefoot is bad and is a cause of plantar faciitis.
