Original Fasciitis Fighter ® for Plantar Fasciitis Strengthening
The Original Fasciitis Fighter ® is the recognised Australian-designed rehabilitation tool developed by physiotherapist Hamish Donaldson to support progressive strengthening exercises for people managing plantar fasciitis and persistent heel pain.
Rather than simply stretching the plantar fascia, the Fasciitis Fighter ® is designed to be used during heel raise exercises, helping apply controlled load through the plantar fascia while strengthening the muscles of the foot and calf.
- The Fasciitis Fighter ® replaces improvised methods such as rolled towels with a purpose-designed platform that provides a more consistent foot position and a stable base for progressive strengthening exercises.
Why Choose the Original Fasciitis Fighter®?
The Original Fasciitis Fighter ® was developed by Australian physiotherapist Hamish Donaldson after years of treating plantar fasciitis in clinical practice. It has become recognised internationally by physiotherapists, podiatrists and sports medicine clinicians who incorporate progressive loading exercises into plantar fascia rehabilitation.

How Does the Fasciitis Fighter ® Work?
The Fasciitis Fighter® is used during heel raise exercises. By elevating the toes while performing calf raises, the plantar fascia is placed under gentle tension while the calf and intrinsic foot muscles work through the exercise.
This approach is based on progressive loading principles that are commonly incorporated into rehabilitation programmes for plantar heel pain.
Progressive Loading Matters
While stretching may help improve flexibility for some people, strengthening the foot and calf muscles is also an important part of many plantar fasciitis rehabilitation programmes.
Research has investigated progressive loading exercises for plantar fascia pain, with studies suggesting that structured strengthening programmes may help improve pain and function over time when prescribed appropriately.
Who May Benefit?
The Original Fasciitis Fighter ® may be suitable for people managing:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Persistent plantar heel pain
- Plantar fasciopathy
- Foot and calf weakness associated with heel pain
- Rehabilitation following professional advice
How to Use
The Fasciitis Fighter ® is intended to be used during heel raise strengthening exercises. Exercise selection, loading and progression should be based on your symptoms and, where appropriate, advice from your treating health professional.
Begin gradually and increase repetitions or resistance as symptoms allow.
