This is what my physio told me to do:

Calf stretches  

Stretches for the plantar fascia - stand with the balls of your feet on a step.  Slowly drop your heels down so you feel the stretch in your calf muscles and plantar fascia, then slowly raise them up again.  Repeat 10 times several times a day.

Massage - warm up the PF by putting your feet on a hot water bottle (don't stand on it, obviously!).  Then roll a golf ball around under the arch of your foot, or one of those wooden foot massagers, or simply use your thumbs.

 Worked for me!

josph ping Just recently after 2 years with this problem I am again tentively running again.Not far and not fast but at least running.

I am trying to use the Chi running method to avoid hill striking, I am also now wearing compression socks and will even when its shorts  time( if  it ever does arrive ) and I also have three pairs of support insoles but now that will be four as those you have brought look like they are definitely worth a try so thanks for posting and good luck with the injury.

I will also add that as much as I have cycled and swum its never compensated me for not been able to run.
