PlayMakar Plantar Fasciitis Stretching Strap for Foot & Calf

Overview

The PlayMakar Plantar Fasciitis Stretching Strap is a low-tech tool for everyday foot and calf stretching. You loop it around the ball of the foot and draw the foot gently toward you, letting your arms do the work instead of twisting or folding forward. That makes it easier to hold a position long enough to feel the stretch and to repeat it consistently.

It packs flat, so it suits a morning routine by the bed, a warm-up before a run, or a cool-down after a long day on your feet. Orders over $29.95 ship free within the U.S. It is listed under Ankle, Foot & Heel Pain at ItHurts.com.

Things to consider

• Exact length, width, materials and adjustment details are not specified.
• Stretch slowly and stay within a comfortable range — a strap makes it easy to pull harder than you intend.
• If you have ongoing or worsening heel or foot pain, or a recent injury, check with a clinician before starting a stretching routine.
