If you run frequently, you may have plantar fasciitis, an inflammation on the thick band of tissue that connects your heel bone to the toes that causes stabbing pain near the heel. There are multiple ways you can alleviate the pain like changing your shoes/inserts or getting medical procedures to include steroid injections. One of the most popular products for this is using mobility massage ball. This is a great way to loosen up tissues while decreasing pain. It is a myofascial release therapy and provides a gentle massage that releases tightness and pain throughout your myofascial tissues. It’s a great way to release knots in your foot and improve blood and lymphatic circulation.
The foot mobility massage ball can help correct imbalances, relieve knots and tightness, improve range of motion pre-workout, stimulate blood flow and aid in healing, and much more. It comes in different sizes, shapes, and hardness. You simply rub the ball and use whatever pressure you think are moderate and let it stimulate your foot. I personally have and still use the products to this date and have went through multiple mobility massage balls. It is a great way to relieve tightness on your feet in addition to foot stretches before and after long runs. You can use it while you sit on your desk for work at home and it takes no effort like regular stretches.
