Plantar fasciitis is a common foot problem. It usually manifests as pain in the soles of the feet, which can get worse after starting to move in the morning or sitting for long periods of time. In many cases, the pain caused by plantar fasciitis will go away on its own within a few weeks. It is necessary to dealing with plantar fasciitis.
Get enough rest
Take as many breaks as you can and sit with your feet elevated. In most cases, the pain caused by plantar fasciitis will ease after 2 weeks of rest, after which we recommend trying some low-impact activities in order to slowly recover.
Correct stretching
Strengthening your feet helps prevent plantar fasciitis. Because the stronger the muscle tissue in the affected area, the better the feet will be able to absorb shock and cope with discomfort and inflammation during prolonged exercise or activity. Gentle stretching is very helpful in strengthening problem areas, including the plantar fascia itself and the nearby Achilles tendon. But do not go beyond what is comfortable, or you may aggravate the injury.
Choose the right footwear
If you need to stand for long periods of time, it is crucial to choose shoes that fit well and have good cushioning. Your shoes or boots should have good cushioning properties and provide adequate heel and arch support.
Use insoles
Adding a pair of professional insoles to your shoes can further protect your feet from plantar fasciitis. The insole adds extra cushioning to your boots, thereby reducing pressure on the critical heel area. If you don’t know which insoles are right for you, Gloryfootwear will also have professional people to advise you on the choice of insoles.
