I’m so happy to see a post on PF! I deal with this so much. Your recommendations are excellent, but I would offer a couple of additional things....

My podiatrist told me that changing shoes every couple of hours for people who are on their feet all day can really help the discomfort, since the foot won’t be in the same position for hours on end. Alternating between 2 pairs of shoes is fine, you don’t have to bring your whole shoe wardrobe to work. It’s not rehab, but it can help someone get through the day.

Doing medical massage, PF is something I work on a lot. In my experience, it’s highly correlated with the soleus. I don’t know which is the chicken or the egg, the fascia or the soleus, but both seem to always be involved.
