The beat remedy for plantar fasciitis is calf stretching. Place the balls of the feet on the edge of a step and stretch one down for 20 seconds and then the other. Do this as many times a day as you can.
This is notoriously difficult to treat. It requires multiple interventions. Ice massage, stretching of foot and ankle, and a night splint to keep the foot in position while sleeping.
Good luck with it.

Stretching and inserts for shoes.
