Foot Pain in Retail Staff Standing Long Shifts

Q1: Why do retail staff often experience foot pain from standing long shifts?
A1: Retail staff spend long hours standing on hard floors, often in uncomfortable shoes, which can cause strain on the feet, arches, and heels. Over time, this leads to persistent foot pain, swelling, and fatigue.

Q2: What are the common symptoms of foot pain in this group?
A2: Symptoms include aching, burning, or stabbing pain in the feet, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, swelling, and discomfort while walking or at the end of a shift. Pain may worsen after prolonged periods on hard surfaces.

Q3: How can The Pain Relief Clinic help retail staff with foot pain?
A3: The Pain Relief Clinic emphasizes non-invasive technology, including targeted physiotherapy, HotHeal Therapy, and shockwave therapy to relieve pain and restore function. Their stress-free approach provides fast access to diagnostics, such as MRI if necessary. Singaporeans, permanent residents, and some international patients may also be eligible for cashless services, removing the need for large upfront payments. This allows patients to focus on getting answers and starting correct treatment rather than worrying about bills.

Q4: What preventive or supportive measures can help reduce foot pain for retail staff?
A4: Recommendations include wearing supportive footwear, using cushioned insoles, taking short breaks to sit or stretch, performing foot and calf exercises, and elevating feet after shifts.

Q5: Who is this treatment suitable for?
A5: This approach is ideal for retail staff standing long hours, experiencing foot pain, who want non-invasive, effective relief, stress-free access to diagnosis and treatment, and potentially cashless billing if eligible.
