Stand Up for Your Own Two Feet – Our Monthly Tip for Industrial Athletes
Foot problems cause discomfort and can affect other parts of your body, including the legs, back, neck and shoulders. Foot health is especially important if your job involves standing, climbing, walking or carrying heavy objects.
Tips
- Wear properly fitted boots or shoes with insoles, only wear them for work and replace them when they are worn.
- To reduce injury risk, avoid standing for prolonged periods on wet, uneven, slippery or unstable surfaces.
- Do 30-second calf stretches throughout the day and roll a massage ball for 30 seconds under each foot before and after work.
