Female Wrestlers, Purchase Great Running Shoes, Prevent Foot Injuries

July 10, 2022,

You don’t need to think about it, until you do.

When you do need to think about the pain, you will absolutely know it.

Many of us never really think about our feet until we have to. Once we do, they can really hamper much about how we function.

The human foot is a strong and complex mechanical structure containing 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 of which are actively articulated, and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

In terms of your female wrestling, this is not about improving your footwork, it is about preserving and healing your feet, if need be.

If you are runner, to help your wrestling cardio, you might meet up with a foot injury.

For that possibility, you should think about great running shoes.

Here in Northern California, we love Fleet Feet.

Let’s jog over to their website.

At fleetfeet.com they share, “The first Fleet Feet store opened its doors in 1976 in Sacramento, California, and we've been outfitting runners with the right gear and knowledge ever since. Since that first day, we've expanded to 250 stores (and counting) in communities across the country to work toward our vision: to inspire the runner in everyone.”

We love their inventory. We love their philosophy and we absolutely love the quality of their shoes.

Our suggestion?

Find a Fleet Feet near you if you can.

Time to turn to the experts for foot care.

Let’s walk over to the bookstore.

Benefits of a Foot Soak

By Andy Fish

As the days are cooling off, a warm, relaxing soak likely feels enticing at the end of a long day. For some people, soaking in a bath or soaking the looks like a luxury they don't have time for. Our lives can be hectic, busy and demanding. However, all the on-the-go can take a toll on your body, especially your feet. Sometimes, one just needs to stop and take a load off their feet and have a foot soak.

Feet soaking is more than just feet in some warm water. Besides causing one to relax and relieve built-up stress, there are many benefits to your feet depending on what you put in the water. The different types of soaks yield different, but equally great benefits to one's feet.

The most common types of feet soak are an Epsom salt soak and an essential oil soak.

Epsom Salt Foot Soaks

Epsom salt is a blend of sulfate and magnesium. When this is added to the warm foot soaking water, it can give one many health benefits including:

• Flushing toxins and heavy metals from skin cells
• Lowers inflammation
• Improves circulation
• Eases muscle cramps and joint pain
• Relaxes muscles and nerves and helps in their proper functioning
• Balances electrolyte levels
• Targets and helps eliminate harmful substances from the body
• Stops foot odor
• Heals ingrown toenails and foot fungus
• Soothes dry skin

Epsom salt is inexpensive and easy to find in stores. Simply add a few teaspoons to your foot washing basin and soak your feet for 10 to 15 minutes.

Essential Oils Soak

If you're into essential oils and home remedies, try these foot soaks:

Cedarwood oil soak: Cedarwood has anti-fungal and antiseptic properties, making this soak great in treating Athlete's Foot and other foot fungus conditions

Cypress oil soak: Cypress oil acts as a deodorant and antiseptic, making this soak an effective treatment of blisters and foot odor.

Juniper berry oil soak: The berry of the Juniper plant lowers the discomfort of muscle aches and is great at treating arthritis in the foot.

Lavender oil soak: Lavender is a relaxant and pain reliever, making this foot soak great for healing sore muscles and joints and conditions like plantar fasciitis.

Rosemary oil soak: Rosemary has antiseptic properties and is great at soothing tired and sore muscles, making this soak a great one to do after a long day on your feet.

Wintergreen oil is considered nature's aspirin. It helps with pain and swelling and has a cooling sensation that is particularly pleasurable on tired feet.

Other Soaks

Other homeopathic foot soaks include adding a small amount of whole milk or vegetable oil to the water. These ingredients can draw out toxins, preventing infections and create smooth skin on the feet. After thoroughly rinsing the feet off, apply a foot or body lotion to lock in the moisture. Epsom salt and essential oils can also be added to this foot soak.

As therapeutic as foot soaks are, they are not the cure-all for every foot condition. In fact, foot soaks are recommended for minor aches and pains. If you notice any of the following on your foot, see a podiatrist as soon as possible and forgo the soak:

• Severe foot pain that comes on suddenly
• Swelling or redness of the foot or feet
• Experience diabetic foot pain
• Experience pain in your foot or feet that lasts longer than seven days
• Tenderness, bruising or bleeding after a foot injury

Feet discomfort, pain, injury and infection can be serious. While feet soaking can relieve stress, tight and sore muscles and joints, soothe skin, and heal blisters and minor cuts and foot pain, more serious foot conditions need to be examined by a foot doctor. If you experience persistent, severe foot pain from a foot injury or an infection from cuts or ingrown toenails, a foot soak isn't recommended, but rather an appointment with your podiatrist.
