Plantar fasciitis is a common cause
of heel pain. Fortunately, plantar fasciitis can be mitigated by doing some
exercise for a few minutes to make it more pliable.
Plantar fasciitis is an
inflammation of the thick fibrous tissue that runs vertically from heel to toe.
The network is called the plantar fascia and useful to support muscles and
arches as well as connecting the heel bone to the toes.
If it is too stretched
or overused, the surface can be torn plantar fascia, causing inflammation,
pain, and difficulty walking.
Plantar fasciitis can be caused by
several things such as wearing high heels, flat soles have no arch, a strained
calf muscle, are pregnant, obese, or stand for long.
Heel pain in the morning
or after a long break is usually the hallmark of this disease.
Sports for plantar fasciitis
The pain of plantar fasciitis can
be mitigated by exercise designed to stretch the calf muscles and plantar
fascia as below:
Help towels
Before getting out of bed in the
morning, wrap a towel around the foot.
Use a towel to pull the toes toward the
body, try to keep your knees straight.
Repeat three times on each leg. Or,
place a towel on the floor. Grab a towel with your toes and pull it toward you.
Do not forget to repeat this movement on the other leg.
Help seat
Sit on a chair. Bend your knees are sore foot so you can hold your
toes.
Pull the toes inward (toward you) until you can feel the stretch on the
plantar fascia.
