Personal journey with bilateral plantar fasciitis surgery
I was VERY happy when I found these exercises. I started them about a week after I had my stitches removed. They very much helped me to regain flexibility and nice range of motion. I hope you find them helpful as well.

When I started thinking about having surgery for my plantar fasciitis I spent hours researching online. I could only find one personal experience with plantar fasciotomy and it hadn't been updated in a long time.
So I thought I'd chronicle my journey from beginning to end and post updates as time goes on as to how well the surgeries worked for me. I'll be having two - one surgery for each foot. I have bilateral plantar fasciitis.
I also created this blog so that my family, friends, associates and clients could easily check my progress and chat with me during recovery.
So if you're visiting this blog way after I've had surgery, I hope the information you find here helps. If you're one of my family members, friends, associates or clients, I hope you'll post lots of comments because your support will keep me going strong through post-op recovery.
Regardless of when you stop by, I'm glad you're here!

Hi Christina,
I couldn’t find your link for the “safe exercises”, it went to a page offering braces, splints etc. Is there another way to access the info?
Thanks,
Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, the link on my Resources page is accurate. You just have to scroll down the page a little bit. They start at the bolded heading “Toe bending and stretching”. Here’s the link again – http://heel.server327.com/bbs/bbv.cgi?n=170124
