5. Heel and Ankle Care Protocol
The heels and ankles require special care due to the altered posture caused by high heels. Start with gentle rotational motions around the ankle joint, then work your way down to the heel. Use your thumbs to apply pressure in circular motions around the ankle bones, paying attention to any tender areas. Perform gentle squeezing motions along the Achilles tendon, moving up and down its length to prevent shortening and tightness. Apply firm pressure with your thumbs to massage the fatty pad of the heel, helping to counteract the compaction caused by prolonged heel wear. This restores flexibility and cushioning to the area.
