Introduction
Heel pain is a common issue that can affect people of all ages, whether it's caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or general strain. Fortunately, there are several natural remedies that can help reduce discomfort and promote healing. From stretches to lifestyle changes, these 9 ideas can be incorporated into your daily routine to alleviate heel pain and get you back on your feet in no time.
1. Stretching Exercises
Performing regular stretching exercises can help relieve tension in the Achilles tendon and the plantar fascia, two areas commonly affected by heel pain. Simple stretches, such as the calf stretch or towel stretch, can reduce inflammation and improve flexibility.
How to do it:
Sit with your leg extended straight out in front of you.
Use a towel or band around the ball of your foot, and gently pull toward you until you feel a stretch in the back of your lower leg.
Hold for 30 seconds and repeat 3 times for each leg.
