Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel and arch pain, often brought on by overuse, strain, or inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of the foot. While recovery takes time and care, reflexology can be a supportive and restorative part of that process by improving circulation, releasing tension, and promoting the body’s natural healing response.

At this point, you’ve likely heard about the importance of self-care. The real question is, how often do you make a conscious effort to incorporate it into your daily routine?

Running is a great exercise. It is not only an intensive cardiovascular workout but also involves other systems in the body, such as the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, muscular, and lymphatic.
