π»As we step into Spring, many of us want to soak up that sunshine and increase our activity levels. Whether it's walking, running, or simply spending more time outdoors. But did you know that seasonal changes can impact your foot health? Hereβs some common conditions to look out for this spring.
Plantar Fasciitis or Shin and Arch Pain the plantar fascia is designed to absorb the high stresses and strains
we place on our feet. A sudden jump in activity without support can trigger discomfort. Stretching and correct footwear are key.
Fungal Infections Damp shoes and public pools can lead to fungal Infections
Heel Cracks Dry air and open footwear can cause painful cracks especially in older adults.
