How do i rest an overuse injury in my foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay off of it.: Depends on the part of your foot you injured (bone, tendon, ligament, joint?). In general, resting includes staying off of it, elevating the foot, and most importantly: stop the activity that caused the problem in the first place. If you want to continue exercising while you heal, work your core and upper body, and avoid weight bearing at the gym.
