Optimum Podiatry

Starting a running routine is a great way to stay active, but beginner runners should be careful not to do too much too soon.

Supportive shoes, stretching, rest days, and gradually increasing your mileage can help reduce strain on your feet and ankles.

If you begin to notice heel pain, arch pain, Achilles tightness, or discomfort that does not improve with rest, it may be time to have your feet evaluated.
