Peak Season for Kick-Abouts
Even though the domestic football season has wrapped up, summer is the peak season for neighbourhood football, whether that’s local leagues, park kick-abouts or pub teams. It may be that you’re a committed couch potato looking forward to all the Euros excitement- well, until we get knocked out!
Women’s Football
It’s fantastic that the rising profile of women’s football is encouraging more girls into the game (and often showing the lads how it’s done), but sorry ladies, this blog is for the boys- because they’re generally more rubbish at taking care of their feet. (I knew you’d like that free kick!)
Sweaty Feet?
Reasons can include “out of sight, out of mind”, with men’s feet more often hidden in socks and boots,or the modern association of foot care with beauty treatments. So add in the sweaty battering ofsummer sports like football, and it’s no surprise problems can follow.
A little thought, a lot more fun
Enjoy raising a glass, but alcohol is actually dehydrating, so make sure you alternate with soft drinks or water (a clearer head can also make the night- and next morning- more fun!) Treat your feet to a gentle warm soak when home, and dry well, it’s amazing how refreshing it feels, too.
Looking back over a year of blogs, from top tips and travel to moving the clinic and renovations, I wonder how I’ve fitted it all in! I’ve loved sharing all my news with you, but with a busy New Year ahead, I’m scaling down these regular blogs for a few months to focus on seeing my lovely clients.
You can get in touch for appointments and queries anytime by calling 07725 300290. You can leave a message and myself or Sue will call you back to secure you an appointment. Also keep an eye on my Facebook, where I’ll still be posting my regular updates, tips and news (like the imminent return to super-smart Carnforth Chiropodist Central!). Remember, you can always leave me a private message on my Facebook.
Have a wonderful festive season and start to 2025; I’ll be busy collecting spring feet updates to share!
All the best, Carol x
