Bruised pads of foot from gymnastics. how do i prevent this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to podiatrist: A podiatrist would be able to examine your feet and determine if the motion in the ball of the foot is creating more pressure at the metatarsals. If so, there are padding/strapping that can be applied to your foot while training that can help with this.
