- Treat yourself to a hot foot bath. Heat water to 30 degrees, add half a glass of Epsom salts and three drops of lavender oil. Soak feet for ten minutes.
- Massage your whole foot from toes to arch to heel. Use your hands to bend and stretch your joints as you go.
- Roll a golf ball on the floor with the bottom of your foot while seated. This massages the bottom of the foot and can help relieve the discomfort of heel pain, cramps or arch strain.
- Avoid wearing high heels, cheap or old runners or poor fitting shoes.
- Don’t persevere with discomfort; a visit to the podiatrist could save you a lot of money and pain.
