Tight or weak muscles are much more prone to injuries so strengthening and stretching them appropriately is a very important part of any injury rehabilitation or prevention. Your Podiatrist will be able to determine which muscles are tight, or weak, and can then prescribe a strengthening and stretching regime to suit your condition. It is also important to continue strengthening your muscles, even if you no longer have any pain as this is important to prevent a recurrence in the future.
