Before standing, try a short mobility routine:

  1. Gently point and flex the ankle 10 to 15 times.
  2. Circle the ankle in both directions.
  3. Pull the toes back lightly to stretch the arch.
  4. Massage the bottom of the foot for 30 to 60 seconds.
  5. Put on supportive shoes or sandals before walking on hard floors.

This routine may reduce the sudden load that often causes morning heel pain.
