New Year’s Resolutions for Happy Feet

We’re ready for you, 2017! The new year usually encourages us to get our New Year’s Resolutions started. New Year = New Beginnings! There’s no better time, actually, to put your best foot forward – actually, both feet forward. Yes, we mean taking better care of your feet so that you can feel better overall.

So what are some resolutions you can make to get your feet happy?

  • Learn more about your feet by reading some of our other blog posts. This includes proper hygiene, looking for signs of diseases, and tending to foot pain sooner, rather than later.
  • Stretch and massage your feet regularly, especially if you are on your feet all day. Yoga is a great way to see how your feet are doing in terms of balance, strength, and flexibility. Any pain during an activity like yoga will give you better insight as to any foot issues you may have.
  • Keep you body moving. Increase your step count. Begin a jogging/running routine. Get on that stationary or road bike. If you received a pedometer or activity tracker as a gift for the holidays, it is time to put it to use! Get your circulation going to reduce risk of edema and increase blood flow to get necessary nutrients from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
  • If you are beginning a new workout regimen such as running or weightlifting, make sure you take necessary precautions to keep your body safe from injury. Find the right shoes, always warm up, dress appropriately for the weather, and set reasonable goals to keep you motivated! Consult a doctor if you have pain or other issues before you begin.
  • Wear shoes that are supportive and comfortable. Start listening to your body – function over fashion for long term foot and ankle health!
  • Hydrate and moisturize your feet, especially during the dry winter weather.
  • Have foot pain or diseases that you can’t shake off? Make your annual appointment with your favorite podiatrist!

In fact, make an appointment today! Our board-certified podiatrist, Dr. Brad Toll at Crofton Podiatry is eager to greet you in the New Year. For all of you living in the Crofton, MD and the surrounding Gambrills, Odenton, and Bowie areas, call today at (410) 721-4505. Happy New Year and Cheers to happy feet!
