In these episodes we’ll go through a couple short, 10-minute workouts you can do at home to strengthen various connections to both improve plantar fasciitis and prevent it.

In the beginner workout, we start with some easy ways to strengthen the posterior fascial chain (read: your rear end and back side) as well as your lateral stabilizers (your balance muscles). We then take that into some coordinated movement that mimics some of the connections that need to happen when you walk. Lastly there’s a quad-strengthening exercise that also works your core. I love a good two-fer!

In the intermediate workout, we work some more esoteric connections related to plantar fasciitis. We get more into the mid-back as well as more global strength patterns in the hips and core. These connections are targeted at improving balance from the pelvis, not the ankles.

Work it!
