The bottle of ice water is a great idea! I bought socks with arch suport to help my planter fascitis. After work outs I roll my feet over a tennis ball. I also stand on a stair backwards, with my toes at the edge of the stairs and my heels dangling over. I dip my heels downwards while holding onto the wall for support. This helps stretch my calfs and heel muscles. These tips were recommend by my dr.
