Relieve Foot Fatigue: Causes, Prevention & Treatment

Aching feet are a serious problem often overlooked. Foot fatigue causes serious pain and sometimes further foot injury when ongoing pain goes untreated. Get rid of your foot fatigue by pampering your feet and treating them to a good pair of shoes.

Instructions

• 1

  Buy comfortable shoes that fit. Ask a shoe salesman to properly size your foot before you buy a pair of comfortable, supportive shoes.

• 2

  Treat common health problems that can cause foot fatigue like diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, stroke-related set backs or poor circulation.

• 3

  Stretch your feet in the morning before getting out of bed. Just like you'd stretch before working out, give your feet a good morning stretch before their long day of activity. Wiggle and stretch toes, ankles and arches of your feet any way that feels comfortable.

• 4

  Ice your feet if they feel swollen or inflamed. While they may be just over-worked and fatigued, you should see a doctor if you feel there's any kind of injury.

• 5

  Rotate the shoes you wear. Alternate the shoes you wear. Keep your feet feeling healthy and by wearing a different pair of shoes everyday. You only need to have two pairs of comfortable shoes, and switch between each pair.

• 6

  Get a good foot massage in the evening or when your feet are sore. It doesn't have to be a professional massage; a good rub of any sort is better than none at all.
