The Single Best Hands-On Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain (Including Achilles Tendon Issues)

Updated June 27, 2025

If you’re a bit like me, this warmer weather has you excited to kick off your shoes and slide into your flip-flops or sandals!

Or better yet, if you’re a lot like me, you’re ready to go barefoot…

And there’s only one thing that might stop you: heel pain!

For most people with heel pain, wearing a supportive pair of shoes helps to relieve the pain, especially if the shoes have good arch support.

So while wearing these supportive shoes is a good solution, their heel pain rears its ugly head as soon as they switch their footwear (or go without).

Even if you’ve tried the other treatment techniques and stretches outlined in my previous blog posts, you might still be running into some barriers with your heel pain.

And if you can’t get over the hump with your heel, this hands-on technique may be exactly what you need to eliminate your heel pain once and for all.

So if you experience heel pain with your first steps in the morning, can’t take long walks or run, or can’t go barefoot or wear sandals, this video is just for you!
