Plantar fasciitis is something that continues to plague more and more people from dedicated athletes to casual runners to deskbound workers. I know it kept me from doing any serious exercise for over a year and only now (a year and a half later), can I go for a run or play some soccer casually.

Had I taken advantage of these products, I may have been able to shorten that time frame but I was too stubborn and busy feeling sorry for myself. So I paid the price of making this a long term affair.

I intentionally picked the most affordable item in each category of plantar fasciitis help with the highest rating possible and a large number of reviews (just so a product wouldn’t have a higher rating due to 1 or 2 people liking it).

So if there was a great $60 option and a $30 option for a product, I chose the $30 option as long as the rating was still very high.

Let’s take a look at six different options for plantar fasciitis relief that can be used individually or in tandem with others on this list depending on your preferences.

HozHoy Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint

A plantar fasciitis night splint is a very thoughtful idea because the most effective time to get a light stretch would be while you’re sleeping since you don’t have to think about it and it corrects the typically poor position your foot is in through the night so you wake up with less pain.

The night splint has a low profile design and a comfortable soft foam to make sure this happens seamlessly. It also offers an adjustable angle for your foot but recommends maintaining a 90-85 degree angle.

Vive Foot Rocker

The Vive Foot Rocker stretches the foot and calf to relieve pain, improve circulation, and reduce fatigue.

By increasing range of motion and flexibility, it helps reduce the risk of injuries and general discomfort. The mid-foot gap allows for ankle strengthening.

The rubber strips along the bottom, raised heel plate, and non-slip treads keep the foot rocker and your foot stable while you are stretching. 

TheraFlow Dual Foot Massager

This foot massager roller is one of the highest rated products for plantar fasciitis relief available. Generic foot rollers cannot compare to its acupressure nubs, arch, elevation, and spacing that have been configured over the feedback of thousands of different feet.

The ridges in each roller are optimally spaced for trigger point stimulation and there are nubs on each back roller for acupoint reflexology.

StrongTek Slant Board

Using a slant board is another great idea if you want to get a passive stretch while you are occupied doing something else. Placing it under your desk is a great alternative to just sitting all day.

It gives an excellent calf and ankle stretch for plantar fasciitis relief and reduces the chance of injury. It features a textured surface and a raised lip to hold your heels in place so you will not slip.

Master of Muscle Mauler Ball

This massage ball is an essential tool to roll away the deep muscle knots in your feet. The spikes will not bend with your body weight as they are made of durable rubber, ensuring that they can reach deep into your fascia for a great massage and improved circulation.

It’s excellent for pre or post workout to revitalize any area of your body that needs some relief.

SB Sox Compression Foot Sleeves

These compression socks are a favorite for people with plantar fasciitis and heel pain.

Through the compression support system, they provide a boost to your blood circulation giving instant relief to the arch and heel. The improved circulation helps reduce lactic acid build up, which aids in the muscle recovery of your ankle and foot.

They are form-fitting, lightweight, breathable, and won’t compromise your mobility. Wear them under your socks or alone in any of your footwear.
