Then while sitting, massage your foot by placing your foot onto the ball and roll the ball around with your foot applying gentle pressure so you feel a little stretch BUT NO PAIN. be sure to focus on your arch.
I have heard about the tennis ball and the stair step exercise also you can try standing up on your tip toes to stretch the arch muscles out
