i got a job earlier last month as one of the free sample guys you see at costco, so i’m on my feet for about 6+ hours a day just standing in one spot. they give us mats to stand on too, which i’m trying to use more, but i’m a little flat-footed and they haven’t helped as much as i’d like. my ankles are absolutely killing me now that im on my third week of work to where i’m limping a little after a shift, (cus i unconsciously put more weight on my left foot) and i feel like i can only take so much ibuprofen, yknow??
I hope that this isn’t meant literally!
The key is to stay in motion all the time. Small or big movements, or tiny ones, but not a minute of complete freeze.
i do move around a little bit in place, yes!! i’m always trying to stretch and roll around my ankles when i can, and i do have to do some walking around at the start and end of my shift, so i’m not TOTALLY frozen lol
