A new technique to cure it.
I had a bout with it last summer on my left heel. I bought some orthotics at the drug store, and it went away after a few weeks, but if it recurs, I’ll try this.

There’s a MUCH simpler method that has worked for 100% of the people I have recommended it to. Sleep with your feet “flat” – the heal turned 90 degrees, not straightened out like a ballerina. If you have a footboard on your bed, shimmy down so your feet are flat against the footboard and toes vertical. If you don’t have a footboard, flip around and keep your feet on the headboard.
Problem fixed within a week, but more like 2-3 days.
I have no control over what my feet do when I am asleep.
Sleep in a new pair of work boots and your heels would definitely stay flat. Problem solved, or at least swapped for a different one. 🙂
I wonder if spending more time walking barefoot or in Vibrams might help.
My father was a podiatrist and when I developed mild PF in one of my feet, he suggested these exact exercises along with some NSAIDs. Pain went away in a few weeks. He was taught this as the first step in curing PF in school in the 1950s.
You can do these exercises on stairs where you can grab handrails on both sides, as well as with books.
