Playing badminton hurts on the top of the heel and on the outside of the foot

I have been playing badminton for a long time.

Here's my advice:

If you want to play for a long time, then your feet and knees must be well protected, so you have to wait until your feet are good before playing. But don't worry, your pain belongs to the overuse of muscles, which is fatigue.

Your problem now is that novices don't know how to play, and they run blindly, so you take a good look at the badminton pace, and all the paces, except for the net shot, the heel is basically not used. Your heel pain now is related to not dampening the body, overusing the heel, think about it carefully, badminton is a catwalk, a relaxed silent step, not a thumping pace.

It is recommended that the hospital check uric acid, the pain in these places is generally gout, if there is no problem, it is recommended to change badminton shoes, because the shock absorption effect of shoes is not enough to cause foot damage.

According to my own amazing experience playing badminton, it is estimated that the shoes may not fit, or twisted to the point that I didn't pay attention to it during exercise, try to use more steps to play badminton, don't want to be in place in one step, many people are twisted because one step is too big, rest for a week, wait until it's good to play, use hot water compress, ointment as much as possible to stick less.

If the pace is not reasonable, or the preparation activities are not started, the preparation activities of the ankle and wrist joints, shoulder joints and other joints should be fully done before playing, and it is recommended to rest for a week before playing.

Hello! From the side, you can also see that your badminton has surpassed the beginner level.

Due to the high pace requirements of competition-type badminton activities, the stride length of stride is larger, especially when surfing the net, the last step is often the heel "pestle" down. When the frequency of exercise is high and intense, and the heel and insole of badminton shoes are worn or the badminton court is too hard, the "heelbone" of the heel cannot be cushioned enough for the multiple "impacts" of the muscles and tissues below it, resulting in muscle tissue damage and pain, especially when walking after exercise, sometimes it is more obvious.

A few years ago, I had the same confusion as you, and the condition was not serious and I didn't need to seek medical attention. Appropriately suspending badminton or reducing the frequency of playing will help the body to repair itself.

Wishing you good health and happy sports!

It may be that you are exercising too much, so you should pay attention to rest and wait for the symptoms to disappear before exercising.

Factors that guarantee that the Achilles tendon does not injure:

1.Regular badminton shoes with the right size.

2.Regular sports cotton socks.

3.Correct footwork and shot movements.

4.Moderate exercise time.

5.Warm-up activities before exercise are especially important in winter.

It is recommended to stop playing for a period of time, and after the discomfort in the feet is eliminated, exercise again, learn the regular badminton footwork, shorten the time of each exercise, and ensure sufficient rest intervals.
