1. Ice Pack
Applying an ice pack on the affected area will greatly help reduce inflammation and pain associated with foot tendonitis. If you do not have ice, you can also use a bag of frozen vegetables or a cold spoon.
- Put some crushed ice in a plastic bag, and wrap the bag in a thin cotton towel.
- Place this cold pack on the inflamed area for about 15 minutes.
- Repeat this process a few times daily.
2. Olive Oil
Massaging your foot with olive oil can give you much relief from the pain and inflammation caused by foot tendonitis. It will also stimulate blood flow in and around the affected muscles. Apart from olive oil, you can also use sesame oil or mustard oil.
- Heat some olive oil until warm.
- Gently massage your foot with the warm oil for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Do this daily until the pain subsides.
