“Standing all day puts a lot of pressure on the foot and ankle region and most specifically on the calves, plantar fascia, and heel bone,” says Karena Wu, DPT, orthopedic clinical specialist, a board-certified physical therapist and owner of ActiveCare Physical Therapy in New York City and India.

The plantar fascia connects to the bottom of your heel bone.
