Defeat discomfort and foot pain with the latest in podiatry treatments from Foot and Leg Pain Clinics.
SPRING means warmer weather, which often brings more social occasions and activities like barbecues, picnics, functions and, of course, our famous Spring Racing Carnival.
All those outings and activities means time on your feet, which can also mean sore feet and aching legs.
So what can you do to make sure your feet are up to all that spring activity?
Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s largest and most experienced sports podiatry companies, has some helpful hints:
• Thongs, slip-ons and high heels can all have an adverse effect on your feet and legs so wear properly fitted, supportive shoes with lower heels, whenever possible.
• Sore feet are often a symptom of more serious underlying issues, so always have them checked by an experienced sports podiatrist. Pain/problems can become debilitating and have a huge effect on your life be it work, sport or play.
• Don’t buy shoes requiring a “break-in period”. Shoes should be comfortable immediately.
• Shop for footwear later in the day. Feet can swell by up to 10 per cent during a day.
• Be careful of off-the-shelf orthotics, insoles/arch supports or other such mass produced, retail products. Only proper medical devices prescribed by a podiatrist whom specialises in prescription orthotic therapy should be used. Medical Science proves foot orthotics work but they must be prescribed correctly for each individual to ensure they are correct and safe.
Foot and Leg Pain Clinics has 18 locations across Melbourne including 291 Princes Highway, Werribee.
