My Tennis “Socktail”

I have been suffering from heel pain due to plantar fasciitis. While I generally follow the treatment advice for that malady, when the suggestion inevitably comes to switch to only low-impact activities for awhile, it is a bridge too far. It simply isn’t a viable option for me. Tennis will be played no matter what. Recently, I have settled in on a sock configuration that minimizes heel pain both during and after tennis. I call it my “Socktail.”
