Read on to discover a variety of stretches to help combat foot pain.
Stretching is important for a number of reasons. Muscles attach to the bones and joints via tendons. If the muscles are tight they can lead to strain along the foot, calf, knee, hip and can also cause lower back pain. After all, if your legs and hips are tight, your feet will have to do more work.
Tight feet means less flexibility. This leave you vulnerable to potential pain and/or injury. Foot pain such as plantar fasciitis can be stretched out to help ease discomfort and relieve strain. Talk to your doctor before beginning stretching or other physical exercise. Once you know whether stretching is right for you, here are some great stretches that are quite effective.
