Stretching Isn’t the Problem. Random Stretching Is.
A clinician-informed stretching guide for people with heel pain who want to stop guessing and start stretching the right way.
Why Stretching Often “Doesn’t Work”
Most people don’t fail because stretching is useless.
They fail because they’re stretching randomly, without understanding:
What tissues actually need attention
When stretching helps and when it doesn’t
How stretching fits into the bigger picture of heel pain
Stretching without context often leads to:
Temporary relief
No change at all
Or irritation that makes symptoms worse
This guide helps you stretch with purpose, not hope.
What This Stretching Guide Is
This is a clinician-informed educational guide that helps you:
Understand which areas are commonly involved in heel pain
Learn how stretching supports recovery when done correctly
Stop guessing which stretches to do
Apply stretching in a structured, intentional way
This guide does not promise instant relief.
It gives you clarity and structure, so stretching becomes useful instead of frustrating
