yes, if my PF or achilles is really bad, i can feel the tendon "tear" or at least it feels like that if it is overstretched. the stairs is a good stretch if things are just a little bit bad.
probably the worst thing to do (for me anyhow) is the foot strengthening toe raises on one foot when the PF is bad. but when not too bad, a good thing to do in between the flares.
so, yes, i agree, do need to be careful.....always,
