The plantar fascia is a piece of strong, thick tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot. It connects the heel bone to the toes, creating the arch of the foot.

So that would place a limitation on standing or walking. But it shouldn't effect any exercise that is done sitting or laying down. I would avoid kneeling due to the potential strain on the foot from getting into or out of that position.

After an injury which I was off my feet for a while I found I had lost the strength in my toes and they felt like they were bending back every time I took a step. Though, without knowing where the tear is in relation to those muscles I would be cautious of making efforts to maintain strength in the foot specifically.
