Common Foot Ailments
Standing for prolonged periods of time can have a negative effect on your feet and
legs. These are some common ailments caused by prolonged standing:

3. Prevention - I
Sit Frequently
•If your job requires you to stand for
long hours, have a seat nearby for
resting.
•Do not stand for longer than half an
hour at a time without sitting down
for at least 5-10 minutes.
Doing this will reduce the strain on
your back and feet, thus preventing
back pain and weak ankles.

4. Prevention - II
Keep Walking
•Can’t have a seat nearby? Not
enough rest breaks? Ease up the
pressure on your feet by walking
around at intervals.
•Walking increases the circulation of
blood in your legs and exercises
your muscles.
Doing this will help prevent varicose
veins and weak ankles.

5. Prevention - III
Make Your Workstation
Comfortable
•Make sure your workstation is
adjustable for height. A workstation
that is too-high or too-low can
increase the pressure on your back
and foot muscles.
• Lean forward with your elbows on
your workstation/desk to take the
pressure off your feet and reduce
fatigue.

6. Prevention - IV
Wear the Right Shoes
•Wear comfortable, low-heeled
shoes.
•Ensure that your footwear
distributes your weight evenly on
your feet instead of just at the heels
or toes.
•The right footwear can help prevent
foot deformities like bunions and
corns.
