She not being diabetic is a very important piece of information here. To lessen the pain, you can ask her to immerse her feet alternately in hot and cold water (taken in 2 separate tubs). 3 minutes in hot followed by 2 minutes in cold, then again 3 and 2 and 3 respectively. This method is called contrast bath. It would be good for her to strengthen the intrinsic muscles of foot (for this she can curl her toes over a thick Turkish towel) Let me know if this helps :)
