Quick and Easy Exercises to Treat Plantar Fasciitis

4. Toe Stretch

Sometimes the simplest stretches are the most effective. Sitting in a chair, extend your right leg out in front of you so that the heel is on the floor. Reach down and grab your big toe. Gently pull it up and back toward you, away from the floor. Hold this for 15 to 30 seconds and repeat two to four times on each leg. This exercise can be performed throughout the day because it won't cause muscle fatigue and is a gentle, unobtrusive stretch for the ligaments.
