Protecting and Maintaining Graceful Beautiful Summertime Feet
Four Podiatry Items You Can Find At A Mobility Shop
Wallace Howell
Podiatrists are doctors who treat foot and ankle problems. They can help with everything from ingrown toenails to bunions, from foot pain to bone spurs. If you or someone in your family has a foot or ankle problem that isn't serious enough for a doctor's visit but needs some extra care, you might want to consider visiting a podiatrist at a mobility shop.
Here are four podiatry items you can find at a mobility equipment shop.
1. Custom Orthotics
These are plastic or foam inserts made specifically for your feet and shoes. They can be used by people who have flat feet or high arches, who pronate (roll their feet inward) too much, who supinate (roll their feet outward) too much, or anyone with lower back pain caused by flat feet or high arches.
2. Heel Lifts
These are small wedges placed inside of shoes to raise the heel up slightly off of the ground so it doesn't touch when walking. Heel lifts help relieve plantar fasciitis pain in the heel area by allowing more space for swelling and inflammation underneath the fascia muscle tissue on your feet. A mobility equipment shop can provide you with a pair of heel lifts that you can use in any shoe, including work boots and sneakers.
3. Braces And Supports
A mobility shop also carries braces and supports for those who have foot problems or other health issues that cause them pain or discomfort when walking or standing up straight. These braces help stabilise your feet while also making it easier for you to stand up straight without feeling any pain in your legs or back from leaning forward too much. A mobility equipment shop can provide you with a brace that is custom fitted to your feet, making it easier for you to walk without pain or discomfort.
4. Walking Aids
If you are having trouble walking or standing up straight, a mobility shop can provide you with walking aids such as canes and walkers. These walking aids can be used to help you get around more easily, whether you are going on a short walk outside or just moving from one room to another inside your house.
A mobility equipment shop is a place where you can find all the necessary items that can help you with your mobility issues. These shops have a variety of products that can help you improve your walking and reduce pain. For more information, contact a mobility shop near you.

Hi, my name is Julie, and in the past, I have been too embarrassed to wear sandals or flip flops to the beach. While all my friends had beautiful, silky smooth feet, I had crusty, dry and sometimes fungus-laden feet. My options seemed to be socks with sandals or avoiding the beach altogether. Since there was no way I was going to do either of those, I met with a podiatrist and launched on a journey to fix, protect and maintain my feet. Along the way, I learned a ton of facts, home remedies and foot protection strategies. I plan to include all of those ideas and more in this blog, and I hope the posts here help you.
