The plantar fascia stretch targets the thick band of tissue along the sole of the foot, helping to ease heel pain and stiffness. Stretching this area improves foot flexibility, reduces strain during walking or running, and is commonly used in managing plantar fasciitis. It’s a simple exercise that supports healthy, pain-free movement.
