For the last 2 weeks, each time I play basketball I’ve had a burning sensation/pain on the arch of my left foot. I’ve tried different shoes, none of which alleviate the pain. I also have custom insoles that I got a while ago and those don’t seem to do the work either.
Any ways to remedy the problem? Would taping my ankle/arch of my foot do anything?
Make sure you’re wearing the right shoes made for basketball (sounds like you already are) and try to eat more potassium like bananas because it could be a charlie horse.
I doubt tape would help.
You should try stretching your foot a few times through the day. It’s most likely that the tendon that goes across the bottom of your foot is being overworked.
Take a tennis ball or another ball of similar size and roll your foot over it in all directions. It should start helping after a few days or a week.
