The pain and swaying sensation seem to be linked to the past injury and the resulting changes in movement patterns. While the pain has reduced, it’s important to address the underlying issues to regain full balance and mobility.
Next Steps
1.Continue Calf Stretching and Icing
These are great first steps to relieve tension and reduce inflammation.
2.Introduce Gentle Strengthening Exercises: Begin with simple exercises like heel raises, toe taps, and seated foot movements to improve strength and flexibility.
3.Balance Training: Incorporate balance exercises such as standing on one leg (holding onto a stable surface if needed) and shifting weight side-to-side to improve stability.
4.Walking Routine: Start with short, slow walks on even surfaces and gradually increase the distance as comfort improves.
5.Gradual Cardio and Weight Training: Once pain and swaying are better controlled, introduce light cardio (like cycling) and basic weight training under supervision to rebuild strength.
Health Tips
Avoid overdoing any exercise, especially if it increases pain or discomfort.
Use supportive footwear to reduce strain on the heel.
Be consistent with exercises but allow rest days for recovery.
