**** Plantar Fasciitis.
When I was still trying to play ball, I'd tape it like this. There are some different kinds of tapes these days that I know nothing about, and different strategies, but this definitely helped me. Just make sure to wash and dry your foot first and put your sock on while you're sitting down before you move. It takes a minute, especially when you haven't done it too many times, and nothing is more irritating than starting over.
I've done some myofascial release. Meh
Cold packs will help if you fire it up and it is hurting, but at that point the damage is done.
There are lots of stretching. It is certainly worthwhile.
I did orthotics for awhile, and they were so hard, when I'd stand on concrete (which I do) they'd just inflame it because there was no cushion. Maybe you can come up with better options. So I'm better off just getting some really good support shoes which have some cushion. I've gotten along with brooks and Salamon, but everybody's foot is different.
I tried these arch support things that went around my foot, it just shifted around and hurt really bad.
Plantar Fasciitis is the devil.
