What Is Plantar Fasciitis? How Mobility, Strengthening, and Circulation Exercises Can Help Relieve Foot Pain

If you’ve ever stepped out of bed in the morning and felt that sharp, achy feeling in your heel or the bottom of your foot, this one’s for you.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel and foot pain, especially for women in midlife.

It happens when the thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot becomes irritated or inflamed – often from a combination of tight calves, weak foot muscles, limited ankle mobility, poor footwear, or repetitive stress over time.

The tricky thing about plantar fasciitis is that it can start subtly with stiffness or soreness and gradually become more painful over time. So prevention and early support is important.

The good news? Mobility, strengthening, and circulation exercises can make a huge difference.

The exercises in this new workout are designed to help improve mobility and strength in the feet and ankles while releasing tension through the calves and lower legs. 

They can be especially supportive if you experience tightness, stiffness, soreness, or discomfort in your feet after standing, walking, or exercising.

Strong, mobile feet are such an underrated part of feeling good in your body and supporting them now can help prevent bigger issues later on.

We just added a brand-new workout to the Lindywell app:
