The plantar fascia stretch will consist of the patient sitting and placing his/her affected foot crossed over the opposite knee and then using his/her hand to pull the toes and ankle back towards the anterior surface of the lower leg. Once in position the patient will continue to hold the stretch and apply deep pressure to the plantar fascia from heel to toe with his/her fingers, thumbs, or knuckles. This activity will be carried out for three minutes.2 For the gastrocnemius and soleus stretch, the patient will stand 46-61cm away from a wall, place his/her hands on the wall at shoulder level, and then bend the knee of the uninvolved leg, while extending the leg of the involved side so that the foot is about 30cm back. Keeping the back knee straight, the patient will lean slowly in to the wall while maintaining his/her heel on the floor and hold this stretch for 30 seconds. This stretch will be repeated four times per session.
