The following tips will help prevent the appearance of Plantar Fasciitis and its recidivism, as well asthorn in Lenoir which may be associated with it.

• Regularly flexibility exercises and stretching of the plantar fascia, calf and foot muscles as well as the Achilles tendon (tendon connecting the calf muscles to the calcaneus, the heel bone), whether or not you practice a sport demanding. See Exercises below.

Be careful about sports practice. In addition to having adequate shoes, it is important to take into account the following recommendations:

• Respect their need for rest;
• Avoid running for long periods on sloping ground, on hard (asphalt) or uneven surfaces. Prefer dirt roads;
• Gradually increase distances when jogging;
• Do warm-up and flexibility exercises before any physical activity that is less demanding and prolonged;
• Maintain a healthy weight to avoid overworking the plantar fascia. Take our test to find out your body mass index or BMI;
• Wear some shoes that provide good arch support and absorb shocks depending on the type of work or physical activity. For more comfort, you can insert a heel pad or a ring-shaped pad into the shoes to protect the heel, or add a sole to properly support the arch of the foot. You can find it in pharmacies. You can also have a custom molded sole made by a foot specialist;
• Replace your shoes at the first signs of wear. As for running shoes, they must be replaced after approximately 800 kilometers of use, because the pads wear out;
• Avoid standing for too long, especially if wearing hard-soled shoes.
