Step into the New Year with your best foot forward! πβ¨ Here are 3 essential tips from your favorite podiatrist to keep you moving comfortably in 2026! π₯π©Ί
1. Upgrade Your Foundation! ππ
Your feet are the literal foundation of your body! ποΈ If youβre starting a new walking or running routine, make sure your sneakers aren't worn out. π Old shoes lose their shock absorption, which can lead to aches and pains. Treat yourself to a fresh pair with great arch support! ποΈβ¨
2. Slow & Steady Wins the Race! π’π
We love the "New Year, New Me" energy, but don't overdo it on day one! πββοΈπ¨ Jumping into high-intensity workouts too fast can cause stress fractures or tendonitis. π« Gradually increase your mileage or intensity to let your bones and joints adjust! ππͺ
3. Don't Ignore the "Ouch"! π£π«
Pain is your bodyβs way of sending a text message! π±π If you feel a sharp pain in your heel or a dull ache in your arches, don't just "push through it." π
ββοΈ Early intervention prevents long-term injury. Listen to your feetβthey do a lot for you! β€οΈπ¦Ά
Happy New Year! Letβs make this the year of healthy, happy feet! ππ₯β¨
