Has anyone else noticed that relaxing the foot helps?

I seem to have fairly mild PF. There are lots of variations from day to day: no pain, a little ache, a big ache, a sharp pain. I've noticed when I'm walking along & the pain gets sharp that I can often make the pain go away by consciously relaxing my foot. The feeling is that I'm making my foot and ankle floppy. So maybe it's the ankle muscle I'm relaxing.
This doesn't always remove all the pain, but it always reduces it. Any ideas what may be going on?Also, if the inflamation is caused by walking/running/dancing/... pounding the foot, why is the pain worst first thing in the morning? Any ideas about the mechanism of inflamation or swelling during the night?
