I wear a splint to bed every night. It bends my foot upward toward my knee, to stretch the connective tissue. I wear arch supports at work every day. I'm on my feet almost all day at work (chemist). This seems to be working. I no longer have the arch/heel pain that I used to have when I got up out of bed every morning. I decided to wear the arch support when I officiate as a preventative tactic.
