Routines
What to do.
Stretches, soaks, daily habits, and treatment protocols. Five to twenty minutes at a time, most days of the week.

Pick what brought you here, answer the questions for those sections, and get a specific next step: what to read and what to ask your podiatrist.
The nightly 5 minutes.
Wash, dry, inspect, moisturize. Done before your phone goes to the charger. This is the foundation.
The Sunday reset.
Foot soak, nail trim, heel treatment. Once a week, 20 minutes.
Plantar stretch sequence.
Calf stretch, plantar fascia stretch, toe extension. Three moves, three minutes, right after you get out of bed. Men who do this consistently stop having morning heel pain.
Toe spread and grip.
Towel scrunches, toe spreads, single-leg balance work. Your toes are supposed to move independently. Most men's can't.
Antifungal protocol.
Twice daily application, consistent for 4 to 6 weeks minimum. Most men stop at two weeks when it looks better. That is why recurrence rates run around 40%.
Lacrosse ball work.
Roll the arch, hold on the sore spot, let it release. Three minutes on each foot. Combine with the plantar stretch for results you'll feel within a week.
