Lean forward against a wall with one knee straight and heel on the ground!. Your other knee should be bent!. Your heel cord and foot arch stretch as you lean!. Hold for 10 seconds, relax and straighten up!. Repeat 20 times for each sore heel!. Be very careful not to continue if you experience any type of severe heel pain!. It is always better to start slow, and work into your heel spur exercises as you build your strength and tolerance!.
In the second exercise, you lean forward onto a countertop, spreading your feet apart with one foot in front of the other!. Flex your knees and squat down, keeping your heels on the ground as long as possible!. Your heel cords and foot arches will stretch as the heels come up in the stretch!. Hold for 10 seconds, relax and straighten up!. Repeat 20 times!.

Get a small ball, like a golf ball, and put your foot on it, and roll the ball around in circles, the ball needs to be in the hollow of your foot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
