- How important is the role of the mattress, the temperature and the sleeping position?
- “Regulationofsleepingconditions” a controversial statement
- Our clinical experience
Correlation among the above statements is not straightforward. Weather conditions have forced many of us to get rid of our proper shoes and replace them with airy sleepers. This resulted into increase oflower limb pronation as seen in photo No.1. Over pronation narrows down free movement of the tarsal ossicles, although pressure remains equal during pacing. Consequently, the joint receives more stress and thus, is forced to absorb it by a limited surface of the joint.
However, if you want to enjoy summer holidays with some beach activity and less chances to suffer from tarsal orthopaedic issues, just wear your running shoes, walk on the beach, and massage the sole of your foot with a cylinder or a ball for 10 minutes per day. This will allow you to avoid conditions such as: metatarsal pain, Morton’s’ syndrome, plantar fasciitis and heel spur.
