We need our feet.   We need them to get around on, to keep us upright, and to look good in sandals.  Feet should be respected.  Not only do they deserve to be treated right, but as anyone who has ever had a foot rub will tell you, treating them right can feel absolutely fantastic.  In addition to all the regular hard work our feet do however, there are some very specific reasons to pamper them.

Pain

Foot pain can be caused by any number of factors, including inflammation caused by disorders such as plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia, muscle strains, or just general wear and tear.  Without going into detail, the important thing to keep in mind to prevent pain in your feet is to wear properly fitting shoes.  When it comes to taking care of your foot, staying away from incorrectly sized footwear is the foundation.

Other Foot Issues

Cleanliness is the next way to pamper your feet.   A good foot bath and pedicure will take good care of most of the issues related to hygiene.  For athlete’s foot and other fungal infections remember to wear slippers or other protective footwear in communal areas with standing water, and if you’re unlucky enough to get infected, there are prescribed medications and over the counter remedies that can help.  Keeping your feet hygienic will also keep them beautiful.  It’s a two-for-one!

Problems Unrelated to Feet

For proponents of reflexology, it’s believed that different areas of the body are attached to different areas of the feet.  Thus, applying pressure to the feet through a specific massage regimen will decrease problems in different parts of your body.   If you’re having other issues, pampering your feet with a reflexology massage might just do more than make your feet feel great!
