If you've been dealing with the nagging pain of PLANTAR FASCIITIS🦶…


…you may have heard that rolling a ball 🎾 under your foot can provide some relief. 


But does this simple technique work? 


Let's take a closer look.


The short answer is YES…


…rolling a ball 🎾under your foot can be an effective way to help manage the symptoms of PLANTAR FASCIITIS🦶


Here's WHY…


The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes. 


When this tissue becomes inflamed, it can cause SHARP, and STABBING pain, especially with the first few steps in the morning.


Rolling a tennis ball, golf ball, or other small, firm ball 🎾 under your foot apply gentle pressure and massage to the plantar fascia. 


This can help in a few key ways:


  • It promotes blood flow to the area, which brings nutrients to aid the healing process.


  • The rolling action helps stretch and lengthen the fascia, relieving tension.


It can break up adhesions and scar tissue that contribute to pain.


To get the most benefit, simply roll the ball 🎾 back and forth under your foot for 5-10 minutes, a few times per day. 


Focus the pressure on any tender or painful spots. 


You can do this seated or standing.


Of course…


…rolling a ball 🎾 is just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to managing PLANTAR FASCIITIS🦶. 


It's also important to incorporate other treatments like stretching, strengthening exercises, supportive shoes, and potentially physical therapy…
