Dr. Rosenstein,
Since I have been doing all my holiday shopping my feet have been very sore! Do you have any tips to soothe the pain because I still have alot of shopping to do!
The holidays can be very rough on our feet especially since we jump from store to store and are more focused on gifts rather than our feet. Lots of holiday shopping means lots and lots more walking and in some cases to the good deals even running!
Surveys conducted by the APMA show that the number one way women soothe their soles during the holiday madness is by moisturizing their feet. Stretching and massaging the feet are also on the list of favorite foot fixes.
But here are some good tips that should get you through the mall-madness season.
Point your Toes- Avoid toe cramping by raising, pointing and curling your toes for five seconds each and repeat 10 times. You won't even break a sweat!
Massage your feet-Women like it because it works! Release tension, increase circulation and rejuvenate the skin after a long day on your feet. Get out the lotion and rub those toes!
Elevate Your Legs- Reduce swelling by lying down and lifting legs above your heart.
Rotate Your Ankles- Relax your feet by rotating your ankles, cupping your heel and turning each ankle slowly five times. This loosens the ankle joints.
Wear Smart Shoes- This means you ladies! Leave those high heels at home! If you know you will be on your feet all day, wear comfortable shoes with arch support and a padded sole.
Of course if serious pain continues you should contact your podiatrists. If you need more infromation or would like to schedule an appointment please contact Affiliated Podiatrists, Inc. at (440)-946-5858 or visit our website: http://www.drrobertrosenstein.com/
And Remeber......."When your feet hurt, you hurt all over!"
