What exercises help plantar fasciitis?
SAPNA

An easy exercise you can do is rolling your foot over a tennis ball or lacrosse ball for approximately 10 minutes. To ice the foot at the same time, use a frozen water bottle or can. Another exercise is doing calf stretches while standing on the ball of the foot on the edge of the step. Lower the heel down, hold 45 seconds, and repeat three times. The standing calf stretch is effective also. The towel stretch exercise involves placing a towel under the foot and pulling both ends of the towel towards you. Hold the stretch for 30-45 seconds and repeat three times.
