The tennis balls just give you a nice stretch for that poor muscle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860426810931434522.post-60976662221761530232012-12-03T09:18:12.794-08:002012-12-03T09:18:12.794-08:00ChezJulie - I've read a lot over the weekend a...ChezJulie - I've read a lot over the weekend about different techniques that are pretty easy.

It does suck and it can be hard to get rid of, but it's DEFINITELY possible.<br /><br />A couple of things I do that are easy and I think help is 1) I don't wear flats. Even my flip flops have a low heel. The doc told me it was better to wear shoes with a 1-2 inch heel. And 2) I keep a pair of tennis balls underneath my desk in my office, and whenever I'm just sitting alone at my desk, I roll my arches back and forth over the tennis ball. 3) Doing yoga once a week probably helps, too, because you work with your feet a lot. (In your case maybe a new pair of shoes would help?)<br /><br />It's probably PF if you have the heel pain and stiffness when you wake up in the morning. Good luck with it!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
