just “getting off our feet” would not necessarily lead to permanent relief. For one thing, foot pain does not always begin in the foot.

Tip
Step on and off a raised surface, such as a telephone book, to give your muscles some work. Or simply flex your feet rolling up onto the ball of your foot, then back to your heel. Take your shoes off and roll a golf ball behind the ball of each foot for a minute or two. A great message, it can also help with cramps or strains in your arch.
