Our advice to all athletes is to incorporate a rigorous stretching program into your workout. The adage of "no pain, no gain" could not be further from the truth.

You should choose your athletic shoes with care and be timely in replacing them when they wear out. A good pair of over-the-counter insoles is often useful for minor areas of foot irritation. Icing the area can also be useful. If your pain persists, make an appointment and allow us to evaluate your condition and make recommendations for your treatment. Many sports problems are also treated with custom orthotics. Dr. Hardy's Toronto Foot Clinic, Academy Foot and Orthotic Clinics treats a lot of patients with foot related sports injuries described above.
