  1. I went to physical therapy for this and my PT's would use what they referred to as a 'Hawk Grip' tool on my feet. it was very effective, my question is…other than your own hands/fingers, can you use a tool like that on your own feet? Or would you consider that to be dangerous to do on your own?

  2. Hi dr jo. Despite runner’s knee, I’ve been suffering from plantar fasciitis recently together with pain at right hip. The pain go down to medial part of knee. I suspect it has something to do with sartorious muscle. Any advise?

  3. Hey thanks a lot doctors have been telling me that I have neuropathy in my feet and then I came across your video and all I did was the massaging of my feet and the thing on the step for three straight days but I want to tell you I felt immediate relief after the first day I haven't been able to wear shoes in 3 years and I'm wearing shoes again and I owe it all to your video thank you

  5. Hi Doctor Jo, this exercises helped me in 2 weeks great deal, but symptoms reoccuring now after 2 months. I read some sole areas gives indication of body problems. Gerd related problems., right leg itching recurring either.(used barrier cream,antiallergy tablets) . Searching for answers why this inflammations or effects rising? I know good solution is not to care, or handle the stresss but cant help myself.

  6. Hey, Dr. Jo. I was wondering, if you have plantar fasciitis, how loose or tight should you wear your shoes?

    I basically wear basketball shoes 99% of the time (with insoles) with one “main” pair that I use for walking, going out etc., and another pair (the previous “main” pair) for getting around the house, and I wear the “house” shoes significantly more loosely than the others so I can easily slip in and out of them. But my feet seem to hurt more often when I’m wearing the shoes correctly, which has made me question whether you’re supposed to wear them more loosely when you have plantar fasciitis than you would otherwise, than I had thought…or if basketball shoes are not good for some reason.

    Thank you!
