What can I do to fix my heel pain at home? This is one of the most common questions we get — and in most cases, it comes down to two key issues: 1️⃣ Not enough foot support If your arches aren’t supported properly, your foot rolls in too much and places extra strain through the heel. A good arch support work boot helps lift and support the foot so it’s not collapsing with every step. That’s why we often recommend a supportive boot like the Ergonomics Elements work boots to reduce heel strain across a long workday. 2️⃣ Tight calf muscles Tight calves pull on the heel and Achilles tendon, increasing stress and pain — especially first thing in the morning or after standing all day. Stretching your calf muscles before work acts like a warm-up and can significantly reduce heel pain over time. We’ve put together a simple warm-up before work routine you can do at home or on site. Just head to ergonx.com.au and search “Ergonx warm-up for work.” Support your feet. Loosen your calves. Small daily changes can make a big difference to heel pain.
