The stretching and rolling motions are both really good for plantar fasciitis. I found you don’t want to really crush your foot down too hard on the bottle or golf ball or whatever your rolling under your foot. Go easy and gently break up the scar tissue for better healing.
A great resource for heel pain I use is “Injury Afoot: 30 Things You Can Do to Relieve Plantar Fasciitis.” Another is “The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook.” Both on Amazon.
I bruised my heel about 3 weeks ago. Most of the pain is gone but I still can’t fully use it. Since about a week ago I started feeling discomfort in the ball of my foot and sort of tingly numbing sensations in my toes. I think this is due to me walking on the balls of my foot more to try and alleviate heel pain. Is this normal? Also, along the side of the arch of my looks a little lumpy/swollen. Is this the inflamed muscle that is commonly found with heel pain? Is this normal too?
