Summary
Have you tried everything to fix your plantar fasciitis, but you’re still experiencing foot pain? In this video, I’ll show you how to fix plantar fasciitis with one simple plantar fasciitis stretch. Find out how to get foot pain relief at home!
If the bottom of your foot is inflamed, you don't want to stretch it! Stretching the calf or massaging the bottom of the foot can make plantar fasciitis pain worse.
Before you perform this plantar fasciitis stretch, rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10 when putting pressure on your foot.
To perform the stretch, sit down and bend your toes downward. This shouldn’t hurt! This exercise stretches the opposite muscles and fascia. After performing this stretch, rerate your foot pain.
Another surprising solution for plantar fasciitis is a low-carb diet combined with intermittent fasting. Inflammation that can cause plantar fasciitis occurs when your carbs are too high.
The root cause of plantar fasciitis is too much calcium. Magnesium controls calcium in the body and can get rid of excess calcium. Cramps and plantar fasciitis are common signs of a magnesium deficiency. Try taking 400 mg of magnesium glycinate each day to combat plantar fasciitis.
Vitamin D helps with many calcium-related issues and has potent anti-inflammatory effects. Consider taking 20,000 IU of vitamin D daily for plantar fasciitis pain.
Magnesium won’t work well without vitamin D and vice versa. If you take too much vitamin D without magnesium, you’ll end up with a magnesium deficiency.
Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to plantar fasciitis, but you may also notice other problems, such as lower back pain, decreased immune function, and muscle achiness.
Always take vitamin D with vitamin K2, which helps remove calcium from the soft tissues.
Do these plantar fasciitis stretches several times daily until your foot and heel pain goes away. Vitamin D, K2, and magnesium combined with keto and intermittent fasting may significantly reduce plantar fasciitis pain in the long term.

| 0:00.0 | Today you're going to learn an instant planar fasciitis fix. When I was in practice, I would teach |
| 0:04.7 | people how to do this. And within seconds, the pain goes away. There's three things to do. The first one, |
| 0:09.5 | we'll get rid of the pain instantly. The second and the third thing are more permanent fixes for |
| 0:14.6 | your planar fasciitis so it doesn't come back. And you're definitely not going to have to use |
| 0:18.3 | things like this to stand on with your arch to help |
| 0:21.2 | form the arch. That doesn't work. If your bottom of your foot is in flame, you don't want to stretch it. |
| 0:26.4 | The worst thing you could do is to stretch the calf or massage the bottom of the foot. That will never |
| 0:33.2 | work. That makes it worse because you're going to be tearing things. This is what you're going to do. And I want you to do this right now while you're watching this video. First thing is to rate on a scale |
| 0:40.3 | from 0 to 10 how bad your pain is. 10 being very severe. Zero being no pain at all. And I'm talking |
| 0:46.5 | when you put pressure on it. Now that you have that number, we're going to rewrite it after we do this |
| 0:50.4 | very simple technique. First step is to sit down somewhere where you can cross your leg |
| 0:54.3 | and you're going to take your toes and you're going to bend them downward. We're not stretching |
| 1:00.0 | the calf. We're stretching the opposite muscles on the front part of your leg. You can do the other |
| 1:05.7 | side. We're stretching down this way. I mean, you can do it up to 20 times. This is difficult for you. |
| 1:11.5 | You could just go ahead and get on your couch or your bed and sit and let your butt sit on the heels and press down. |
| 1:19.6 | If you could do this. If you can't, you can put a pillow between your butt and your legs, but you want to stretch this. |
| 1:25.6 | And do it as much as you can tolerate. It should not hurt. |
| 1:28.4 | You're stretching the opposite muscle and fascia, and that's sending a signal to the bottom |
| 1:33.1 | part of the foot, telling the nerve signals to turn off. Now what I want you to do is re-rate |
| 1:38.9 | the pain in your foot. You can go ahead and stand on it. That's step number one. The second thing |
| 1:42.9 | I'm going to recommend is go in the low carb diet where you're doing intermittent fasting, two meals, no snacks. |
| 1:50.2 | I've done a million videos on this. I will put one down below because inflammation occurs |
