\n A quarter of Americans are experiencing increased aches and pains during their time in quarantine, according to new research.<\/p>\n

The survey asked 2,000 Americans how their daily routines have changed while sheltering in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

As respondents are adapting to their new indoor lives, it\u2019s not a surprise 50 percent said their decrease in physical activity has contributed to their increased aches and pains.<\/p>\n

Another four in 10 pointed the finger at just sitting around the house for too long.<\/p>\n

Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Dr. Scholl\u2019s, the survey also found 42 percent of respondents said walking barefoot has been another cause of discomfort.<\/p>\n

And as respondents are adapting to their new routines and working from home, 36 percent said they\u2019re guilty of poor posture during their workdays and 27 percent said that sitting in an uncomfortable chair has also impacted their aches and pains.<\/p>\n

This new normal has also impacted respondents\u2019 wardrobes. In fact, six in 10 have used their time indoors to reevaluate their clothing and footwear choices.<\/p>\n

Forty-two percent of those surveyed said they\u2019ve been wearing athleisure clothing daily since they\u2019ve been stuck indoor \u2013 and 55 percent said they plan to add more to their post-isolation wardrobe.<\/p>\n

Another 66 percent of respondents said they\u2019ve worn more comfortable shoes than usual because of their time in self-isolation.<\/p>\n

Forty-five percent of respondents said their footwear of choice while indoors has been slippers and another 36 percent said they\u2019ve been merely wearing socks.<\/p>\n

Over half of those surveyed with aches and pains point their finger at their feet for causing their discomfort.<\/p>\n

And for those with aches and pains, 48 percent are experiencing back pain.<\/p>\n

Nearly three in 10 respondents also said they\u2019ve experienced pain in the arches of their feet during lockdown and 24 percent have been experiencing pain in the balls of their feet.<\/p>\n

As all of these aches and pains add up, it\u2019s no wonder 43 percent of those polled said they\u2019re slowly starting to wear shoes around their homes so they can get used to wearing them again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s such a lack of awareness about our feet \u2026 it\u2019s really the last thing most of us think about. But it shouldn\u2019t be! Feet account for 25 percent of the bones in our entire body,\u201d said Charlie Lundy, Vice President of R&D at Dr. Scholl\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the majority of our lives, we\u2019ve worn shoes on our feet. Now think about the last 3\u20134 months. We\u2019re walking barefoot a ton. While it\u2019s comfortable and may feel intuitive for us, we\u2019re just not used to it. The muscles in our feet and lower legs aren\u2019t able to keep up with such a drastic change, which leads to some of the aches and pains we\u2019ve been feeling recently.\u201d<\/p>\n

With all of this discomfort, 53 percent of respondents said they\u2019ve been taking care of their feet more than usual during their time in lockdown.<\/p>\n

Fifty-eight percent of those surveyed are worried that their aches and pains will increase when they resume their normal routine.<\/p>\n

Lundy said, \u201cIt\u2019s important as we begin to resume normal activities \u2013 and normal footwear \u2013 that we\u2019re paying attention to our feet by cushioning and supporting your arches with insoles so you\u2019re in a more relaxed state during the day \u2026 you\u2019ll be less fatigued by the end of the day and able to do more.\u201d<\/p>\n
