Would a bike fit help with Plantar Fasciitis ?

I have been struggling with this on and off for about six months and other than relieving the pain with stretching and rolling a can under my foot i cant seem to find a solution to cure the problem. Its only ever on my right foot and have zero pain when riding which i think is due to my shoes having pretty good arch support but as soon as i get off the bike the pain is crippling.
Im starting to think it could be to do with my position on the bike and that my current position is putting too much strain on my right lower leg. Maybe my saddle is too high causing my calf muscle to stretch too much. However it feels fine as it is and lowering the saddle doesnt feel right and if this was the case why is it only my right foot ?
I am tempted with the idea of a bike fit but would this potentially make any difference at all bearing in mind i feel totally comfortable in all other aspects of my position ?
