Topical BioMedics Offers Tips for Keeping Feet Pain Free During the Holiday Season
Rhinebeck, NY (PRWEB) November 18, 2014 -- Kicking off on Black Friday, the holiday season is festive and fun…But it can also be extremely tough on feet, ankles, legs, and knees. Shopping for hours, standing in long checkout lines, attending holiday parties, cooking, traveling to friends and relatives, lugging packages to the post office, and all the extra running around takes its toll on the body. And for the 4.6 million Americans who work in retail, it also means long shifts on the job, standing up stocking shelves or at the register ringing up customers. Wearing fashionable boots, heels, and other non-sensible footwear also takes its toll, causing tired, achy, cranky, sore and swollen feet and aching legs. Then there’s dancing the night away at holiday parties that put feet through their paces.
No one wants soreness or injuries to slow them down, so it’s important to care for your feet so they can carry you through all those seasonal celebrations and chores. It is possible to shop without dropping and enjoy the holidays more with less pain. Lou Paradise, president and chief of research at Topical BioMedics, the makers of Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream, offers tips to keep feet happy and healthy so you can get through the season without suffering.
Treat Feet Right:
-- When shopping or doing errands, leave heels at home and wear comfortable shoes. Athletic shoes, flats, or low-heeled boots with good arch support and padded soles help increase comfort and prevent ankle and foot pain that results in wearing heels. For specific footwear recommendations, click the following link to see which types of footwear have received the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance and Seal of Approval for promoting foot health. http://www.apma.org/learn/content.cfm?ItemNumber=1108&navItemNumber=535
-- If shoes feel tight, use a shoe stretcher to make them more comfortable before heading out the door.
-- Distribute the weight of shopping bags evenly on both sides of your body. Lighten your load by making frequent trips to the car to drop off packages.
-- Whenever possible use a shopping cart to avoid stressing your back with heavy packages, and ask for assistance lifting heavy objects.
-- When walking, keep your back straight and relaxed; try not to slouch as it shifts your weight forward and puts you off balance.
-- Women should opt for carrying a small backpack rather than a heavy purse.
-- Keep your energy up by taking frequent breaks to enjoy a snack, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, and rest your feet. During your break, try to elevate your feet to help reduce any swelling.
-- Apply Topricin Foot Therapy Cream before heading out for a heavy-duty day of holiday shopping, hours of travel, or a night on the town, massaging it onto legs, ankles, feet and all around your knees. This quickly helps to maximize the body’s healing and repairing process to keep you comfortable. Massage again when you return home.
-- After a long, punishing day on your feet, take off your shoes and exercise them. Stretching is a good way to avoid muscle cramps. You can stave off toe cramps by raising, pointing and curling your toes for five seconds. Repeat 10 times. Rotating your ankles can also help relax feet. Cup your heel and turn each ankle slowly five times to loosen ankle joints.
-- Soak your feet in a warm Epsom salt bath, dry, and massage in Topricin Foot Therapy Cream for soothing relief. Running your feet over a reflexology roller, a golf ball, or tennis ball after applying Topricin gives feet a great massage.
-- See your doctor or podiatrist immediately if you have concerns about any foot issues.
HOW TOPRICIN WORKS AND USAGE:
Don’t pop a chemical pain pill or just soak your feet in Epsom salts—soothe pain and pamper your feet and legs with Topricin Foot Therapy Cream.
Topricin Foot Therapy Cream specifically targets ankle and foot pain, and is patented for the topical treatment of pain associated with neuropathy. The product’s fourteen natural biomedicines naturally support and assist the body by helping the subcutaneous skin layers of the feet drain toxins and excessive fluids from the tissues that increases blood flow and helps heal the damage that is causing the pain.
Apply Topricin Foot Therapy in the morning before putting on shoes, periodically throughout the day whenever possible, and again at night to maintain healthy, pain-free feet. As an added plus, Topricin Foot Therapy Cream is moisturizing, so it soothes dry, cracked skin.
Topricin Foot Therapy also relieves foot pain symptoms associated with Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, sprained and swollen ankles, forefoot pain, blisters, aching feet, flat feet, hammertoes, corns and calluses and other painful foot conditions and injuries.
Free of parabens and petroleum, Topricin Foot Therapy is safe and natural and doesn’t use any volatile oils such as camphor, menthol, petroleum or lanolin, fragrances or irritating chemicals. The cream is fast absorbing, odorless, and greaseless and will not stain clothing.
Topricin Foot Therapy is formulated for maximum absorption. Free of side effects, it can be applied many times, as needed, to relieve foot pain. It will not interference with other medications, and is safe for diabetics.
