Are MBTs helpful for plantar fasciitis?

MBTs can be helpful for plantar fasciitis as they reduce the pressure in the arches of the feet where the plantar fascia lies. You will need to gradually practice standing and walking in MBTs, and over time they will help to gently stretch the plantar fascia whilst protecting it and strengthening the muscles which support it. In some cases it may be neccessary to wear orthotics (insoles) in your MBTs – particularly if you are used to wearing orthotics already. If unsure, check with the person that prescribed them for you.
