7 Simple Strategies To Manage Plantar Fasciitis And Heel Spurs
For executive mums juggling multiple responsibilities, foot pain can significantly hinder daily activities. This can be caused by two common conditions: plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, that can often coexist but can present on their own as well. In this blog, lets discuss 7 practical tips to manage these two painful conditions. 

Rest: Reduce activities that load the fascia and heel, such as running. Opt for non-weight-bearing exercises like swimming instead.

Avoid Barefoot Walking: Always wear shoes as walking barefoot increases pain due to lack of cushioning and shock absorption.

Cold Compress: Use a cold pack or a frozen water bottle to roll under your foot to reduce inflammation and provide relief.

Appropriate Footwear: Avoid high heels and ensure your shoes provide adequate support. Consider shoes with built-in arch support, especially if you have flat feet. Using orthotics can also help.

Foot Mobility Exercises: Before getting out of bed or after long periods of sitting, move your foot in circles and in all four directions to enhance circulation and lengthen the fascia gently.

Calf Stretches: Stretching your calf muscles can alleviate the pull on your heel and, consequently, on the plantar fascia. Use a towel or yoga strap to assist with these stretches, aiming for several repetitions throughout the day.

By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can manage your symptoms and reduce the impact of plantar fasciitis and heel spurs on your life.
