Lightly stretch or better yet, do a slow jog for two to three minutes to warm up the muscles.

The amount of time spent on the activity should be increased gradually over a period of weeks to build both

muscle strength and mobility.

*People whose feet pronate or who have low arches should choose shoes that provide support in both the front of the shoe and under the arch.

*Those with a stiffer foot or high arches should choose shoes with more cushion and a softer platform

People who run regularly should replace shoes every six months, more frequently if an avid runner.

Try to be careful on rocky terrain or hills with loose gravel.

Athletes who have experienced ankle injuries previously may benefit from using a brace or tape to prevent recurrent

ankle injuries

*If you experience foot and ankle pain during a sport, stop the activity or modify the activity until the pain subsides.

*if you have been injured, you should go through a period of rehabilitation and training before returning to the sport to prevent recurrent injuries.
