What should I do if the soles of my feet hurt during military training?

In our society, to enjoy higher education, one must undergo military training in advance. This is the origin of military training in many universities. Military training is not that simple, but a double test of willpower and body. Many freshmen have physical difficulties during military training. For example, pain in the soles of the feet during military training is quite common. Let’s see what to do if the soles of the feet hurt during military training?

Pain is a complex physiological and psychological activity. It is an unpleasant feeling and emotional experience that occurs when the body is injured. It is one of the most common symptoms clinically. It includes the pain sensation caused by noxious stimuli acting on the body, as well as the body's pain response to noxious stimuli. The location of pain often indicates the location of the lesion, while the nature of the pain indirectly indicates the type of pathological process.

If the symptom of sole pain during military training is not treated, after a period of time, it will cause the plantar fascia to degenerate, lose its elasticity, and cause surrounding muscles to atrophy, affecting the normal function of the foot. The injured foot will not dare to bear weight due to pain, and will walk with a limp. Over time, the other foot will cause knee pain and degeneration due to excessive weight bearing, hip joint degeneration, or often cause back pain, scoliosis, etc. due to poor walking posture.

You can soak your feet in hot water. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that soaking your feet in hot water can relax muscles, promote blood circulation and eliminate fatigue. Soaking your feet every day can promote blood circulation in the legs and effectively relieve the soreness and swelling caused by standing for long periods of time. Secondly, you can slightly raise your lower limbs when sleeping to fully relax your legs and achieve the purpose of blood circulation. Again, wear appropriate shoes. Inappropriate shoes will affect blood circulation, cause uneven stress on the bones of the lower limbs, and may aggravate leg pain.

In addition, do not take a shower immediately after exercise. Wait one or two hours until the sweat has dried before taking a shower. Massage tips: Gently tap the Zusanli point on your leg (four fingers below the knee and one finger outside the shin) before going to bed. Do this once a day for 5 minutes each time. Pinch your calves once a day, doing it for 5 minutes on each leg. Rub the soles of your feet after soaking your feet for 20 minutes every day, one hundred times on each side. Use a bull horn or scraping board to scrape the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot (the depression where the front 1/3 and the back 2/3 of the sole meet) until the tendons are scraped open.
