To protect your feet health ...
Foot Care Specialist Fatma Patricia Ghani gave important tips on how to protect our foot health.
What are the main causes of foot problems?
The main causes of foot problems; long standing, wrong nail care and inappropriate shoes selection. For jobs that require prolonged standing, there is little time for the feet to heal before starting the next working day. It is therefore very important to protect the feet by wearing suitable shoes for home and work. Routine application and regular foot care are not very difficult. In addition, many people may suffer from back, leg and knee pain, and this pain may be related to the feet. It is possible to eliminate pain by raising awareness of people about footwear and foot care.
What are general foot complaints?
Sometimes the load on the foot remains unstable and extra friction walls form in certain parts of the foot. When this occurs, thickening of the skin surfaces occurs. These hard skin pieces are called calluses. Callus is a defense mechanism that the body creates to protect the underlying tissues. If the pressure source is not removed, they become painful. Wearing appropriate shoes, using protective pads, and other self-care measures may help dissolve calluses.
The qualities of a good shoe:
1- From the heel to the end of the thumb, the inside of the shoe should be flat.
2- The front part of the shoe should be in such a way that the toes can move freely.
3- Shoes should not have high heels and should have wide soles.
4- If you need to wear high-heeled shoes should not be more than 2-3 cm.
5- Do not expect your shoes to stretch as you wear them. Your feet may be damaged until the shoe flexes.
6- Normally, the feet are different in size. Choose shoes to fit the larger foot.
7- In the afternoon the feet are likely to swell, so it is convenient to buy shoes in the afternoon.
8- If your job requires continuous standing, it is recommended to use shock-absorbing insoles.
9- Prefer light and breathing shoes.
