I had it and my podiatrist said always buy shoes which have the toes lifted in a curve, never wear ballet pumps, and be careful of other shoes without a fastening across the foot. The exercises I was given were to sit with your legs out and pull your toes back (easy to do in bed!) and to stand on a step and lower your heels. Both of these help to stretch the muscles at the base of your foot and up the back of the leg. My plantar fasciitis has gone now, but I have arthritis in my toe joints instead!<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-55656727927638463602021-06-05T16:36:12.586+01:002021-06-05T16:36:12.586+01:00It looks beautiful there.

Pity you couldn't enjoy it more, with your poorly back and foot. Husband had plantar fasciitis quite badly a couple of years ago and has just been told he's got it again, although not as severe this time. So I know how painful it can be. Hope at least the back improves soon - although I expect the foot thing is throwing your posture out.Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-16588128092121532882021-06-05T10:28:09.759+01:002021-06-05T10:28:09.759+01:00Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

As I said in my post, we didn't walk too far at Hardcastle Crags but yes, I would say that it is quite hilly, especially on the track we took, which was actually signed as an easy trail, though they do say there are some gentle strolls and we did see people who were walking with sticks too so I should imagine it's just a case of doing some research and finding out the best way for you. I intend to go back again at some point and I shall definitely do more research before I go as there seems to be lots of different pathways you can take, it's just a case of discovering which is best for you.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-52870797740924155532021-06-05T10:20:41.336+01:002021-06-05T10:20:41.336+01:00I think my plantar fasciitis developed due to wear...I think my plantar fasciitis developed due to wearing mule or flip flop style shoes and slippers for such a long time.
