Bruised heel

Recovery from heel pain?

Early treatment of heel pain should lead to a fairly quick recovery - within a few days. However if the signs are ignored and the pad becomes damaged then this is a very difficult injury to treat. Rest means rest. There is no point you stopping running for a week if you put up scaffolding for a living and are on your feet every day. If you have to be on your feet then ensure you put a shock absorbing and cushioning heel insert into your shoes.

Useful Products:

For shock absorption and cushioning:

• Heel Pads
• Shoe Insoles
