#124 Treat Your Feet 2025.02

Notas do episódio

In summary, if nothing else, try these things: Gentle circles and varied movements with yout feet. While sitting, put your feet on the ground gently, move your toes, and move your feet side to side, in a window wiper motion at the ankle. Massage and mobility - While seated massage the tendons and move in all directions. Do heel raises while holding a ball with your heels… and just have fun with your feet! Correction: I did not throw away all my shoes immediately! What I meant was that as they broke, I replaced them with bigger, gentler shoes. A few died at good times and others at bad times LOL I remember the sole of my shoe dropping off as I walked down an avenue in Manhattan on a multi-day stopover between Georgetown Guyana and Lisbon. Luckily I had no trouble finding a shoe store! A bad ending was when the heel of my shoe snapped in half right after delivering a training session in Corroios, so I had to wobble my way out of the building. No handy stores around so I walked barefoot to the train station and from the station home. The website I read from: https://podiatryfaq.com/knowledge-base/how-common-are-bunions/ Helen Hall’s Instagram account - Sadly I did not mention her work, but do go check it out! It’s from her that both Rangan Chatterjee and I got the idea of foot wiping; a simple yet highly beneficial exercise: https://www.instagram.com/helenhallpfm/ Rangan Chatterjee’s highlight on instagram about how to do foot wiping https://www.instagram.com/p/C4m-CIcNUi_/ Wake your feet up in the morning before you get up https://www.instagram.com/p/DDFC5CSMusm/ The foot collective https://www.instagram.com/thefootcollective/ Bunion education: https://www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/what-to-do-about-bunions
