Heel

The heel is an anatomical formation that forms on the bottom of the foot. It is part of the foot and performs many functions: shock absorption, load distribution, limb protection and balance.

Anatomically, the heel is made up of several components, including bones, ligaments, and muscles. One of the main components is the calcaneus, which

The heel is an important part of the human body. This is not only its softest and most delicate area, but also very useful for the body.

For example, when a person gets up from a lying position, the heel hits the ground first. As a result of this effort, a contraction occurs in the calf muscles, which form the valves in the legs. Thus, the elasticity of the calves improves blood flow, prevents the formation of blood clots, and relieves stress on the joints and intervertebral discs in the lumbar and hip areas.

In addition, there are a lot of biologically active points on the feet, the impact of which increases the body's resistance to infections. Thanks to the light mechanical effect (massage) of the heels, there is a beneficial effect on the state of the nervous system.
