## Caption

Stretched your plantar fascia for months with no change? The stiffness is often upstream, in your toes and ankle, not the heel itself.

Your heel isn’t the problem, it’s the last stop. When the big toe can’t bend upward and the ankle can’t fold forward, the arch loses support and the heel absorbs the load that was supposed to be shared.

Try this before another heel stretch:
1. Standing Big Toe Extension Stretch
2. Knee-to-Wall Ankle Dorsiflexion Test, 3 reps each side
3. Toe Splay, 10 reps, 3 sec hold

Free the toe and ankle first, then load the arch. That’s the order that actually sticks.
