Our daily activities would always involve using both our feet just to make things done. And sometimes, no matter how tired our feet are, we still choose to continue working.
At the end of the day, standing for longer time or walking around would end up to feeling the tiredness and sore in our feet. But more than just fulfilling our activities, there are some more factors that could contribute to this.
It’s inevitable but how can we really find relief when we experience it? Learning how to soothe your tired feet, whether you are in your home or still at work, could lighten what you feel.
1. When resting, it is best that you elevate your feet to negate gravity and allow blood and lymph fluid to exit the lower legs and return the circulation.
2. Change your shoes or unfit it from time to time. Ill fitted, poor-ventilated and heavy shoes contribute to tired and sore feet. When putting on shoes, tie it tightly because loose shoes puts more strain on foot.
3. Place your feet on a wooden roller to massage the tension out of your feet and potentially relive mild-to-moderate discomfort.
If none of these works, we advise you to see an expert.
May you find these tips helpful too:
• To maintain proper posture when standing, stand with your weight equally distributed over both feet and avoid locking your knees. Tighten your stomach and buttock muscles to keep your back straight. Wear cushioned supportive shoes and alleviate muscle fatigue by periodically resting one foot on a small footstool.
• Don’t wear flip-flops on a long-distance walk or for any sports. They don’t give your feet enough shock absorption, arch support or protection.
• Quit smoking because it impairs blood flow, resulting in oxygen and nutrient deprivation to muscles and other tissues. (wikiHow)
