Plantar Fasciitis Exercise Aids 

Algeos offers a variety of exercise aids specifically designed to help individuals manage and alleviate the pain associated with plantar fasciitis. These products target the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon and calf muscles, supporting the stretching, strengthening, and massaging necessary for relief.

1. Spiky Plantar Fasciitis Ball

This tool is ideal for foot massage, helping to release tension and improve blood flow. Rolling it under the foot can aid in myofascial release, directly targeting the plantar fascia.

  • Exercise: Roll the ball under your foot for 5–10 minutes, focusing on sore areas. This helps break down adhesions and improves circulation.

2. PediRoller Foot Massager

This ergonomically designed massager stretches and massages the plantar fascia, helping to relieve pain and inflammation. Its textured surface ensures effective targeting of key foot areas.

  • Exercise: Place the PediRoller under your foot and roll it from heel to toes for 5–10 minutes. This helps loosen tight fascia, reducing heel pain.

3. Physioworx Cork Massage Ball

A durable cork ball for deep tissue massage, this product is perfect for releasing tightness in the foot, calf, and other parts of the lower body.

  • Exercise: Apply pressure with the cork ball under the foot or calf muscles to stretch and relax the fascia. This is ideal for relieving stiffness and improving flexibility.

4. Physioworx Stretch Board

An adjustable stretch board that assists in stretching the calf muscles and Achilles tendon. This is a great aid for improving flexibility and reducing tension in the lower leg.

  • Exercise: Stand on the board with your feet flat and gradually increase the stretch by adjusting the incline. Hold each stretch for 20–30 seconds. This helps to improve range of motion and reduces the risk of future injury.

5. Physioworx EVA Foam Balance Pad

This balance pad is designed for rehabilitation exercises, helping to improve stability and strengthen the muscles around the foot and ankle. It’s ideal for patients recovering from plantar fasciitis.

  • Exercise: Perform balance exercises by standing on one leg on the pad, holding for 30 seconds. This enhances proprioception and strengthens supporting muscles.

6. Resistance Bands

Algeos offers a variety of resistance bands, including single bands and bulk rolls. These can be used to perform strengthening exercises for the foot, ankle, and lower leg.

  • Exercise: Tie the band around your foot and pull towards you, providing resistance. This helps to strengthen the muscles surrounding the plantar fascia, promoting long-term recovery.

7. Physioworx Trigger Point Ball

This ball is designed for sensory stimulation and deep tissue massage. It's effective for targeting specific areas of tension in the foot and lower leg.

  • Exercise: Apply the ball to areas of tightness in the foot, massaging for a few minutes to release tension and improve flexibility.

Regular use of these aids helps alleviate plantar fasciitis symptoms by improving muscle strength, increasing flexibility, and reducing tension in the plantar fascia. Combined with proper footwear and orthotics, these exercises can significantly contribute to long-term recovery and foot health.
