If you have plantar fasciitis, stretching your calf muscle also stretches the tissue (plantar fascia) in the sole of your foot. Tightness in that tissue is what causes this painful foot condition. Even though it might seem excessive, stretching out the muscles in your lower leg can be a good way to prevent pain from plantar fasciitis. You should know that there are two main muscles in your lower leg that attach to your heel. You need to stretch out both of them. To do this, stand against a wall and slide one leg back, pushing the heel down towards the floor. When you feel a stretch in the lower part of your leg, hold it for 30 seconds. Then bend your knees until a deeper stretch is felt a bit lower in your leg. Also hold this stretch for 30 seconds. Repeat both exercises until you’ve done it 3 times on each leg.

Did you know you can pre-stretch your lower leg while you sleep? This avoids having to wake up with any foot pain at all. You can stretch your leg at night using a plantar fasciitis night brace. Pre-stretching your leg also stretches your plantar fascia, so you can get out of bed in the morning without the sharp heel or foot pain. You also don’t have to waste time stretching your foot in the morning. The Stretch-Away Plantar Fasciitis Night Brace does all this for you. It’s easy and cost effective to use, and simply the best way to stop your foot and heel pain in the morning before it starts.
