Exercises For Peripheral Neuropathy: Plantar Fascia Stretch

While facing a door frame, place your heel as close to the door frame as possible. Slowly lean forward, allowing your heel to slide back as your toes extend upward. To increase this stretch, bend the front knee toward the door frame. You will feel a stretch in the bottom of your foot and along your heel chord.
Hold: 15-20 seconds
Repeat: 3 repetitions each leg/2 times a day.
If you are a diabetic and do not currently see a podiatrist, call our Glastonbury or Middletown office to make an appointment.

  1. This exercise seems to be so easy but I am more concerned about the results if it provides the desired results then it is really amazing.
