Have you ever stopped to think about what your feet do for you every day? They allow us to walk, run, move… and support the entire weight of our body.
And although we often overlook them, they are key to our health. When something’s not right, they’re the first to alert us. Heel pain, a wound that won’t heal, or swelling can all be signs of conditions that require medical attention.
That’s why we should care for them all year round… but especially in summer. Changes in footwear, sun exposure, sand, hot or uneven surfaces like grass or pavement make them more vulnerable and can lead to problems or injuries.
In this video, Cristina Ruiz Juárez, chiropodist at Hospital CreuBlanca Maresme, explains the basic habits you should follow to take care of your feet during the warmer months and prevent future discomfort or injuries.
