Long-Distance Running

There is significant research to support the claim long-distance running can contribute to the development of heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Although part of the job of the plantar fascia is to absorb some of the shock individuals subject it to, runners often take this to the extreme.

To reduce foot pain that may be a result of running, individuals should take some time off to allow their foot to rest and heal. While taking a break from running, individuals can participate in other physical activities to keep up their endurance, including swimming and cycling. Also, they should be sure to practice appropriate stretches, massage, and even soaking their foot to help it heal. When individuals think they're ready to pick running back up, they should be sure to wear a shoe with good arch support and take it a little at a time to avoid reinjury.

Next, find out how an individual's job can cause plantar fasciitis.
