Regular Pedicures Support Your Active Lifestyle
To many people the New Year brings a time of new beginnings and healthy lifestyle changes. If getting in shape by amping up your workout routine is on your list, don’t forget the importance of keeping your feet in good shape too.
Although a pedicure may seem like a luxury service to many, it does offer great physical benefits key to staying active and healthy. Running and cardio workouts increase stress on feet and adds more than normal wear and tear on your joints. Soaking feet in a mineral hydrotherapy soak eases muscular and joint pain and reduces inflammation. During a professional pedicure, toe nails are trimmed properly to prevent painful ingrown nails. Proper trimming of the toe nails can also help prevent nails from being bruised and damaged inside your athletic shoes. With the increase in working out you will see an increase in calluses on your feet. Calluses are not only unattractive but also the uneven pressure points can cause foot pain and discomfort. During a pedicure, calluses are softened and smoothed away with a professional grade foot file and exfoliating scrub. Exfoliating also rids the feet of dead skin cell build-up that contributes to bad foot odor. After the nails and feet are cared for, lower legs and feet are gently massaged to ease tension caused by the increase in activity. Hot stone leg and foot massage is a great option for those with extra tense or sore muscles. The heat from the stones provide extra relaxation and relieve muscle tension. Pedicures done monthly will keep your feet in the shape you need to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. While focusing on your body this year, remember to make pedicures a part of your routine!
