5 Ways to Prevent Plantar Fasciitis

I looked into ways to prevent plantar fasciitis and found several effective methods.

I am sharing this message to discuss five ways to prevent plantar fasciitis with you.

Please let me know in the comments if you have any additional good methods or advice!

 

 

1. Wear appropriate footwear

Wearing shoes that fit well is important. In particular, it is good to choose shoes that reduce impact on the soles and provide good arch support. Be careful with shoes that are too stiff or too soft, as they can actually put a strain on your feet!

 

2. Managing weight

Being overweight can put a lot of strain on the plantar fascia. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise is helpful. If necessary, consulting with a professional who can assist with weight management is also recommended.

 

 

3. Stretching and exercising

It is important to consistently perform exercises that stretch the feet and calf muscles. In particular, doing gentle stretching of the soles of the feet and calves immediately after waking up in the morning can be helpful.

 

Recommended stretching:

• Foot sole stretching: Gently pull the sole with your hand and hold for 15-30 seconds.
• Calf Stretch: Push against the wall to stretch the calf muscles

 

4. Give your feet enough rest

It is good to avoid standing or walking for long periods. Elevating your feet and taking breaks once or twice a day can help reduce fatigue.

 

5. Do foot massage and foot bath

Soaking your feet in warm water or gently massaging them is also beneficial. Massage and foot baths help improve blood circulation and relieve tension in the feet.
