When an individual engages in physical exercise, it is important for them to use proper form so that they do not exacerbate any kind of underlying foot pain. One important form of exercise that can potentially illuminate existing foot pain is rowing. Whether you are using a rowing machine or rowing a boat in an actual body of water, you might feel existing foot pain while rowing. Luckily, rowing itself as a form of exercise is not terribly hard on the feet. In other words, rowing does not exert a lot of pressure on the feet. However, if you already have a stress fracture of some sort, rowing might make the foot pain particularly poignant. If you have foot pain on the ball of your feet while rowing and there are signs of swelling or redness, it is possible that you might have a stress fracture of some kind. Additionally, stretching the feet might be a way to mitigate pain during rowing. Contact a podiatrist today if you are a rower and are concerned about foot pain.

Exercising your feet regularly with the proper foot wear is a great way to prevent injuries and build strength. If you have any concerns about your feet, contact one of our podiatrists from Ankle and Foot Centers of Missouri, P.C.. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Exercise for Your Feet

Exercise for your feet can help you gain strength, mobility and flexibility in your feet. They say that strengthening your feet can be just as rewarding as strengthening another part of the body. Your feet are very important, and we often forget about them in our daily tasks. But it is because of our feet that are we able to get going and do what we need to. For those of us fortunate enough to not have any foot problems, it is an important gesture to take care of them to ensure good health in the long run.

Some foot health exercises can include ankle pumps, tip-toeing, toe rises, lifting off the floor doing reps and sets, and flexing the toes. It is best to speak with Our doctors to determine an appropriate regimen for your needs. Everyone’s needs and bodies are different, and the activities required to maintain strength in the feet vary from individual to individual. 

Once you get into a routine of doing regular exercise, you may notice a difference in your feet and how strong they may become.
