🚶 5 Tips for Walking Comfortably Every Day

Walking is one of the simplest—and healthiest—ways to stay active, but even this gentle exercise can lead to soreness or strain if your feet aren’t properly cared for. Here’s how to keep every step pain-free and enjoyable:

1️⃣ Warm up your legs and feet before long walks to boost circulation and flexibility.
2️⃣ Wear cushioned, supportive shoes that fit properly to reduce pressure and friction.
3️⃣ Replace insoles every few months to maintain comfort and shock absorption.
4️⃣ Keep toenails trimmed straight across to prevent irritation or ingrown nails.
5️⃣ Stretch after walking to ease tightness in your calves, arches, and heels.

Comfort starts from the ground up—take care of your feet, and every step will feel lighter and healthier. 👣✨

🩺 From Undiagnosed Diabetes to Life-Saving Foot Surgery

Dr. Gloschat shares the journey of a 36-year-old patient who didn’t know he was diabetic—until he was hospitalized for a severe foot infection that had been progressing for two months.

💪 Today, this patient is finally on the road to recovery—and it’s a powerful reminder of why early diagnosis and foot care matter, especially for those with or at risk for diabetes.

Don’t ignore foot pain. Don’t wait to get checked. Prevention and early care save lives—and limbs.

Let’s Discuss: Should you rest completely when you have foot pain, or keep moving gently? 🦶💭

It depends on the cause of your foot pain — but in most cases, complete rest isn’t always the answer. While taking a break helps reduce inflammation, too much rest can actually make stiffness and weakness worse over time.

Gentle movement, stretching, and low-impact activities (like swimming or cycling) can help maintain flexibility and blood flow while your foot heals. The key is listening to your body — if the pain worsens or you notice swelling, it’s time to stop and get checked by a podiatrist.

A foot specialist can identify what’s really causing your pain and guide you on when to rest and when to safely move. The right balance between recovery and activity makes all the difference!

👠 Did You Know?

Wearing high heels over 2 inches can increase pressure on your forefoot by up to 75% — that’s a lot of stress on a small area of your foot! Over time, this added pressure can lead to pain, bunions, calluses, and even long-term joint problems.

You don’t have to give up your favorite pair of heels completely — just wear them in moderation, stretch your feet afterward, and choose styles with better arch support and cushioning.

Your feet deserve balance between fashion and comfort. 💅✨

True or False? Podiatrists can help with balance and gait problems. 👣⚖️

👉 Answer: True! Podiatrists are trained to assess how you walk (your gait) and how your feet strike the ground — both of which play a big role in your overall balance and stability.

Issues like flat feet, high arches, or uneven weight distribution can affect your gait and increase your risk of falls, joint pain, or fatigue. A podiatrist can evaluate these problems and recommend custom orthotics, strengthening exercises, and footwear adjustments to improve your posture, coordination, and confidence with every step.

Healthy feet don’t just mean pain-free walking — they mean better balance, better movement, and better quality of life!

🦶 What is Bursitis?

Bursitis is the inflammation of a small, fluid-filled sac called a bursa, which acts as a cushion between bones, tendons, and joints. When this sac becomes irritated — often due to repetitive motion, tight shoes, or pressure — it can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected area.

In the foot, the heel and toes are the most common spots for bursitis. It can make walking or standing painful, especially if left untreated.

👣 The good news? With rest, proper footwear, and podiatric care, bursitis can be managed effectively and comfortably.

Myth: Flat feet don’t need treatment.

Fact: Flat feet can cause knee, hip, or back pain if left untreated. Custom orthotics can help! 👣

Many people think flat feet are harmless — but when your arches collapse, it can throw off your body’s natural alignment. This imbalance may lead to pain, fatigue, or even posture issues over time.

The good news? A podiatrist can assess your foot structure and recommend solutions like custom orthotics, supportive footwear, and targeted exercises to help restore balance and comfort. Treating flat feet early can prevent bigger problems later on!

🦶 Build a Strong Foundation — From the Ground Up

Hi, Dr. Rafii here 👋 Let’s talk about what really supports you—your feet! Tendons and ligaments play a vital role in maintaining foot strength, balance, and injury prevention. When these soft tissues are out of sync, your foot can be pulled in the wrong direction, leading to pain, deformities, or instability.

✅ With proper physical therapy, stretching, the right shoe gear (yes, even heel height matters!), and sometimes strength-training devices, you can prevent long-term issues and support your overall health.

If you’re unsure which footwear or therapy is right for you, let’s chat. Your journey to stable, pain-free steps starts with an expert evaluation.

👵🦶 5 Tips for Aging Feet

As we age, our feet go through natural changes—skin becomes thinner, joints may stiffen, and circulation can slow down. But with the right care, you can keep your feet strong, healthy, and comfortable for years to come.

Here are 5 podiatrist-approved tips to care for aging feet:

1️⃣ Moisturize daily to prevent dry, cracked skin and maintain softness.
2️⃣ Choose low-heeled, supportive shoes that promote balance and stability.
3️⃣ Check for changes in skin color or sensation—they can be early signs of circulation or nerve issues.
4️⃣ Trim nails carefully or ask for professional help to prevent ingrown nails or infections.
5️⃣ Schedule regular podiatrist visits for preventive care and early detection of potential problems.

Healthy feet mean independence, mobility, and confidence—no matter your age. 👣✨
