A recent study published in the Scandanvian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports found that the following simple strength-training exercise provides more relief than traditional stretching of the #plantarfascia: Stand barefoot with your sore foot on a step, a box or even a thick book, with a rolled-up towel placed under your toes and your heel hanging over the step’s back edge. Lift your other leg off the floor, bent slightly at the knee. Slowly raise your sore heel, count 3 seconds, pause for 2, then lower for 3 seconds. Do three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions every other day. http://ow.ly/HE8AJ Whitby Family Footcare
The goal of my blog is to educate Canadians about their foot health. I have been a chiropodist for the past 40 years. Over the next ten years the percentage of Canadians over the age of 65 will become larger. Foot pain can get in the way of an active healthy lifestyle. The foot care provided by a chiropodist/podiatrist will help to keep Canadians walking without foot pain. Our foot clinic is located in downtown Whitby, Ontario
