The Plantar Fasciitis Doc

You can’t keep wearing Hokas & Brooks and expect your plantar fasciitis to magically disappear.

Most conventional shoes have:
• Narrow, tapered toe boxes
• Elevated heels
• Built-in arch support

Those features limit natural foot function and can quietly keep you stuck.

My approach starts with smarter footwear.

I usually recommend a transitional shoe first, wide toe box + zero drop, but with a bit more cushioning to ease the shift.

Brands like @Altrarunning, @TopoAthletic, and @Flux_footwear are great starting points.

As your feet get stronger through proper loading and mobility work, you can transition further.

If you want my full approved shoe list, comment “shoes” and I’ll send it over.

f you’ve had plantar fasciitis longer than a few months, you’ve probably learned this the hard way:



➡️ Recovery takes time.
➡️ Progress can be slow.
➡️ Consistency is everything.



The research (and my experience) shows:


The longer you’ve had it, the longer it takes to heal.



Here’s a general timeline based on how long you’ve had symptoms:



👉 Less than 1 month:
Expect recovery in 6–8 weeks with consistent adherence to my protocol.


👉 1–6 months:
Plan for about 8–12 weeks of focused rehab to see significant improvement.


👉 6–12 months:
Recovery may take 3–6 months of dedicated work and reconditioning.


👉 Over 1 year:
You’re likely looking at 6–9 months for full tissue remodeling and repair.


This isn’t to discourage you, it’s to help you set realistic expectations and stay the course.


Reversing plantar fasciitis is not just about calming symptoms and reducing inflammation.


To get lasting results, we focus on rebuilding your foot strength, mobility, and resilience from the ground up.


Target the root cause, not just the symptoms!

Do tight calf muscles lead to plantar fasciitis?

Yes… but not in the way most people think.

You’ve probably been told to stretch your calves every single day to fix your heel pain.

And it’s true, limited calf flexibility can absolutely change your gait and increase stress on your plantar fascia.

But here’s where it goes sideways 👇

Simply stretching your calf muscles is not the most effective solution.

In fact, static stretching alone has been shown to be largely ineffective for actually resolving plantar fasciitis.

Why?

Because your plantar fascia doesn’t need to stretched, it needs to be strengthened.

The most effective approach focuses on progressive strengthening.

When done correctly, strengthening improves both strength and functional flexibility.

That’s how we restore proper foot mechanics instead of just temporarily pulling on tight tissues.

If you’ve been stretching nonstop with little relief… it may be time to shift your approach.

Plantar fasciitis doesn't respond to complete rest, orthotics, walking boots, compression socks, and other braces because they limit mobility.



In the early phase of PF, protecting and supporting your foot can feel safe.



But long-term, these supports limit the very thing you need to recover...strength and mobility.



When you “rest,” or brace your foot, you’re not fixing the issue, you’re simply avoiding it.

No wonder people stay stuck!



PF isn’t a rest problem. It’s a load problem.



The solution is to rebuild & restore foot strength.



Want to get better?



Stop avoiding movement and start rebuilding your foundation, your feet.



I teach this in my program, and I have a free guide that gets you started.

👉When is your plantar fasciitis pain the worst?

Have you been told never to walk barefoot if you have plantar fasciitis?



I hear this advice all the time, and while it may be well-intended, it’s actually not the best path to healing.



In fact, barefoot walking (with toe spacers) is one of the most powerful ways to:



✔️ Strengthen your arch
✔️ Improve your balance
✔️ Encourage natural movement
✔️ Reduce foot pain long-term



The key is starting gently and consistently. Just a few minutes a day can make a big difference in how your feet function and feel. 💪



Your feet were made to move, let’s help them do just that.

Methods that DO NOT work to resolve plantar fasciitis!



There is SO much misinformation out there about plantar fasciitis!



Many of my followers find that my program includes suggestions that are directly opposite of what they have read or heard from other foot practitioners.



That’s why people suffer for so long. They have been given outdated tactics and short-term band-aids that DO NOT produce lasting results.



Some of the most common mistakes include:



❌ Orthotics
❌ Night Splints
❌ Cortisone Shots
❌ Rest & Immobility
❌ Static Stretches of The Calf Muscles
❌ Thick, Cushiony Shoes (Hokas, Brooks, New Balance)



Are you confused yet?



I know, I know, this is all so confusing. I have treated THOUSANDS of cases of PF, and these efforts do not work.



My goal is to introduce you to a new wave of understanding that involves strengthening your feet and allowing you to return to the activities you love


So, if you're interested in learning what DOES work, comment "GUIDE" and I will share my proven approach.

If stretching and arch support truly resolved plantar fasciitis,
you wouldn’t still be hurting.

Most people are given outdated advice that never addresses the root cause.

Plantar fasciitis improves when you rebuild healthy foot,
not when you rely on support forever.

PF isn’t just a flexibility problem, it’s a function problem.

Weak, deconditioned feet can’t handle load, no matter how much you stretch them.

Real relief comes from restoring strength, mobility, and resilience, not chasing temporary relief.

Why most plantar fasciitis treatments fail…

You bought the shoes.
Got the orthotics.
Did the stretches.
And you still have plantar fasciitis?

It’s not your fault, you just need a better approach.

Most solutions focus on adding more cushioning and support,
not restoring what your foot has lost: strength and function.

When the foot can’t tolerate load, pain sticks around.

There’s a smarter way forward.
