My wife came down with PF almost 8 years ago now - it got worse and turned into "Tarsal Tunnel" (think carpal tunnel, but with feet). She's had two surgeries on each foot. She bought the inserts (6 different kinds); she bought the "Oofo's", the Birkenstocks, the Vionics. She had PRP treatment - twice - in each foot. She bought exercise boards for stretching - did reflexology, massage, etc. What helps? Well, limiting steps, daily (less than 6,000). Hot soaks. Foot rubs and/or massages, of course. But in the long run, not a lot helps. Not a lot. It's a daily struggle. On the other hand, I had PF about 10 years ago, got a good pair of inserts and mine went away (never to return- so far) in 8-10 weeks. The variances of genetics, I suppose!
