Healthy Heels Stretch Tip
Luke Hamilton, M.S.L.Ac
Certified Personal Trainer

As with any exercise it's important to facilitate proper range of motion and balance in the musculature around the joints. Always stretch in order to avoid injuries and imbalances and use the opposing muscles for well rounded strength.

When wearing heels, the toes and ball of the feet are on the ground and the heels are elevated 3" to sometimes 5". Over time, this tightens and overworks the calf muscles and shortens the Achilles tendon. After a long day of walking in heels, this imbalance creates discomfort, aches and often pain. For instant relief and balancing of musculature do the following stretch before wearing heels, during heel wear and after.

Calf & Achilles Stretch for High Heel Health
In bare feet, place the ball of the foot against a wall and leave your heel in contact with the floor while you lean forward into the wall. This will stretch the muscles of your calf. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds then repeat with the other leg. Stretch before wearing heels, during heel wear and after.
