Proper footcare is essential for healthy, happy feet!?? For Alavida Lifestyles, I have the privilege of offering Nursing Footcare Services. If you are diabetic, have poor circulation, have painful corns or calluses or you just want someone professional to care for your feet, please contact me when you arrive.

Your personal consultation includes:

• Complete foot assessment

• Callus and corn care
• Foot massage
• Personal teaching about your foot care needs

Seven Steps to Healthy, Happy Feet:

1. Wash your feet daily with soap and water.
2. Dry your feet well with a rough terry cloth towel. Moist skin invites athlete’s foot.
3. Rub unscented cream into dry, scaly skin on heels or toes. Do not put cream in between toes.
4. Change your socks daily, or more often if your feet sweat.
5. Foot exercises and walking help keep our feet happy.
6. Never walk barefoot on concrete, asphalt, tile or hardwood floors - no cushioning for your poor bones!
7. Do not sit cross-legged. It causes poor circulation.

I have worked as a Geriatric Nurse for many years in various settings. this experience has created awareness in me of the need for proper foot care as well as proper foot wear!
