Avoiding Heel Pain
Heel pain is the most common condition that leads patients to podiatrists. Pregnancy, improper shoes, and overly strenuous exercise are some of the factors that may contribute to heel pain. Any heel pain that persists for more than 30 days should be evaluated by a podiatrist. To avoid heel pain, always consult a podiatrist before beginning an exercise program, especially if you have been inactive for a long time. Start any exercise program with moderation, gradually increasing the duration and intensity of workouts. Always stretch before and after exercise, including the feet, calves, and Achilles tendon. Vary the incline on a treadmill to avoid heel strain. Maintain properly fitting shoes in good condition, wearing appropriate shoes for various activities.
P.S. Pain should not be a part of an exercise program, so stop if it hurts.
