⢠Stretch sitting down. Sit barefoot and cross your left leg so that your ankle rests on your right thigh. Then hold your toes and bend them back toward your shin, stretching the band of tissue connecting the bottom of the heel to the ball.
⢠Give yourself a foot massage. Start with your toes, using your thumb to massage them in circular motions. Then move to the arch under your foot and graduially work your way down to the heel, applyng pressure with your fingers and palm of your hand. Use lotion to allow your hand to move smoothly over your foot.
