Kick Foot Pain to the Curb

Plantar Fasciitis

Burning at the bottom of your feet, especially first thing in the morning can be a sign of Plantar Fasciitis. A condition if left untreated can cause significant pain and possible repercussions throughout the rest of your body. Remember your feet are like the foundation of a house. If the foundation is weak, the rest of the structure suffers. This Episode of Body Talk: The Podcast will give you strategies to help heal this issue.

Calf Stretching

Most foot pain starts with an imbalance in the muscles, either they are weak or tight. Here is a gentle stretch for the Plantar Fascia as well as the two muscles that make up your calf. Less is more, breath into the tightness and allow the Diaphragmatic Breath to ease the tightness.

Movement is Medicine/Ankle Circles

If we don't keep those other directions mobile they tend to get "rusty" This simple exercise is like "WD40" for your ankle. Trust me, your ankle, knee and hip will thank you for taking a minute each day with this exercise.
