<Helpful Tip> Protect Your Foot Health During Summer!! / How to Treat Plantar Fasciitis

During the daytime when the temperature rises, you can see many people wearing sandals or slippers instead of sneakers when going out.

 

These kinds of lifestyle habits cause fatigue in the feet!!

 

 

As a result, it is easy to develop plantar fasciitis, which causes a tingling sensation in the soles of the feet or inflammation.

 

Why??? Does it happen??😭

 

Slippers and summer sandals have thin and hard soles, so they cannot absorb the impact on the soles of the feet and instead transmit it directly to the foot. This causes continuous damage to the plantar fascia, leading to the development of plantar fasciitis. 😱

 

 

 

So, what are the preventive measures?

 

1. Plantar intrinsic muscle activation stretching to reduce stress on the plantar fascia

•  
•  
• One hand holds between the toes, the other hand holds the heel.

Twist in the direction of tightening / loosening.

*It is recommended to perform this before exercising or walking.*

 

 

The video below is difficult to explain in writing, so I recorded it.

 

 

2. (For plantar fascia rehabilitation) Performing calf raise exercises

- When lifting your heels, use both feet; when lowering, use one leg.

Proceed with the procedure while keeping the knee continuously bent.
- Apply core strength and perform the procedure.
Keep the knees pointed in the direction of the toes, and ensure the toes do not rotate more than 5 degrees.

 

 

3. Wearing shoes that are comfortable and absorb shocks

 

 

Even in the heat, it's nice to wear sneakers that are well-ventilated like these!!

 

 

I hope you continue to do massages and exercise regularly to prevent and recover from plantar fasciitis^^

 

I couldn't do it originally with this method, but now I am walking well!! Fighting ☺️
