webfact Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Workers standing for long periods warned about heel ailment By The Nation BANGKOK: -- People standing throughout long work shifts risk developing an ailment that creates heel soreness and can lead to other health issues, the Public Health Ministry has warned. The ministry’s deputy permanent secretary and spokesman, Kiatibhoom Wongrachit, said plantar fasciitis was common among sales assistants at department stores as well as factory workers and nurses. He said the aliment also affected overweight people. He said people with the ailment experienced heel pain when they got up in the morning. The pain, he said, might ease after they stretched their feet and walked around for a while. “But if the ailment is left untreated, it may cause other health problems,” he said. Kiatibhoom recommended people with heel pain consult doctors and be careful about their footwear choices.

GiantFan Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 MBT footwear solves the problem for me. Purchased mine in Singapore. About SGD 300 for trainers. They have office type as well, but not not very attractive. I know, expensive but if you ever had a bout of PF it hurts like heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
