    Stretch them out. I noticed my yoga class helped my aching feet, too.

    Try stretches from time to time? Insoles for your shoes?

    And then elevate when you can. I am a nurse and work 12hr shifts on a very busy ortho/neuro unit. My feet kill me. I have noticed, that as I am losing the weight, my feet are hurting less. But I elevate them and have good shoes now. Also, treat yourself to a good pedi!!! Might get some good massage, too. And, if this continues to be an issue, you should probably talk to your doctor. :smile:

    I suggest seeing a physio therapist. I have seen one over the last 4 months & wow is all I can say - between orthodontics - laser, acupuncture & ultrasound my feet don't hurt anymore & honestly I didn't believe they could do anything

    I used to get really sore feet - I don't really anymore since doing lots of plyometric type exercises (jumping up and down, so jumping jacks - or star jumps as we call them here, jump squats, jumping rope, running, etc, etc) I guess it strengthens up the muscles so they can withstand more punishment?!?

    I have plantar fasciitis and have tried everything under the sun from chiropractics to a reflexologist. This is what has helped for me:

    ~Get a tennis ball and rub it under your feet back and forth. I'm not talking about "oh, this feels good" rubbing. I'm talking about "oh, dang that kinda hurts" rubbing. Doing it hard enough will help break up the lactic acid that's causing the pain.

    ~You HAVE to stretch out and loosen up (via massaging) your calves. Your calves directly link via the tendons and muscles that feed through your heel into your foot. If these are tight it will cause all kinds of damage and soreness in your feet. (I use Trigger Point massaging aids. They have worked WONDERS for me. If you're interested check them out online)

    ~ ICE and elevate after every run/work out/work shift.

    I have a feeling I'm forgetting something but if I remember I will definitely tell you! I hope this helps!

    If your feet have structural issues, nothing will help except orthotics. See a podiatrist.

    This was one of the things I forgot :) Getting orthotics will definitely help. I have high arches and noticed a slight difference when I started using them. Also, they have inserts for running which I use separately from the orthotics prescribed to me.

    I have a solution that is by far the strongest available. It's on a level with strong hands of massage therapist during deep tissue massage, plus reflexology. Unlike the therapist, it doesn't need breaks. It can keep massaging you light or deeply until you want to stop. Here is what it looks like when given to a dear friend and Sensei (instructor). https://www.myownwaterpipe.com/Pictures.html

    If you look up for nestoiter-gravity on Amazon, you will see the black bar. It massages your feet so well, it removes the pain.
