Essential Stretches to Complement Laser Therapy for Heel Pain

Combining laser therapy with specific stretches can enhance the treatment outcomes for plantar fasciitis. Here are essential stretches that can help alleviate heel pain and support the healing process:

• Calf Stretch: Stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall at eye level. Place the leg with the painful heel behind you, keeping the knee straight and the heel on the ground. Lean forward until you feel a stretch in the calf of the back leg. Hold for 15-20 seconds and repeat several times.
• Plantar Fascia Stretch: Sit down and cross the affected foot over your knee. Use your hand to gently pull the toes back towards your shin until you feel a stretch along the arch of your foot. Hold for 15-20 seconds and repeat.

Integrating these stretches into your daily routine can significantly support the healing benefits of laser therapy, providing a comprehensive approach to managing heel pain from plantar fasciitis.
