"Feet are the 'it'" body part for summer 2007," says New York podiatrist, John Viscovich.
After your hair has been coiffed and colored, your make-up and manicure are magnificent; you've got a golden glow, taut tummy, and lean legs, what is left to perfect?
Feet. The average person walks 10,000 steps in a day, women more than men, yet traditionally, it's been all about the shoes and not the appendages themselves. Mt. Kisco, NY (PRWEB) June 15, 2007 -- "Feet are the 'it'" body part for summer 2007," says New York podiatrist, John Viscovich. After your hair has been coiffed and colored, your make-up and manicure are magnificent; you've got a golden glow, taut tummy, and lean legs, what is left to perfect? Feet. The average person walks 10,000 steps in a day, women more than men, yet traditionally, it's been all about the shoes and not the appendages themselves. If you want gorgeous sandal-worthy tootsies, there is no shortage of helpful options that focus on feet: - Cosmetic and less-invasive surgical foot procedures such as such as shock wave (a high energy ultrasound treatment used for certain foot problems) toe shortenings, and bunionectomies have increased
- Therapeutic pedicures incorporating pure lemon or orange scrubs, aromatherapy as well as quasi-medical treatments such as hard skin removal are on the rise
- The array of o-t-c strips and pads to provide the utmost comfort in even the most torturous shoes can make blisters a thing of the past
- You have so many shoe choices! Right now everything is in style: peep-toe pumps to ballet flats to stilettos and baby-doll round toes
Dr. Viscovich also offers these tips for pain-free feet this summer:- When buying new shoes, always get re-sized - just like your kids, because even an adult foot can change size
- Vary the styles you wear. Your favorite pair of heels or loafers may be super-comfy, but can actually harm your walk and balance over time. And, as tempting as it is this summer, don't live in flip flops.
- Buy new sports shoes regularly - Pay attention to the wear and tear on running or tennis shoes and upgrade accordingly
- Stock up on good o-t-c pads and strips, blister band-aids and moleskin - and keep them in your purse or desk for foot emergencies
- Don't ignore foot pain! Women will often let pain go, chalking it up to "suffering for beauty" but foot pain can sometimes be a precursor to something much more serious such as diabetes or a circulatory problem.
