Foot Massage and Comfortable Footwear
Sometimes, the swollen foot is a simple bodily reaction to constricted nerves and tissues in the feet caused by tight, worn out, cramped, and uncomfortable footwear.
In cases like these, it’s best to switch to more comfortable footwear that fits just right to ease the pain caused by tight muscles and uneven pressure on the toes, arches, or heels. Not only that; stretching and getting relaxing foot massages also help relax and improve blood circulation in the feet, ankles, calves, toes, and legs, relieving any pain, discomfort, and even swelling.
To keep your feet happy, make sure to get massages with firm strokes and some pressure and massage the feet towards the heart. If stretching, doing so for at least 30 seconds can work wonders for your feet.
As for footwear, wear comfortable shoes of the right size and length with wide enough toe boxes, a bit of cushion, and solid arch support. Using devices and inserts like orthotics and cushioned insoles will also help.
