Align Foot & Ankle’s Ultimate Guide to Spring Break
As winter takes its final bow, get ready for a sensational spring break filled with sun, sand, and unforgettable moments. To ensure your feet are in top shape for the adventure ahead, check out these foot-friendly tips:
Step in Style with the Right Shoes
Embarking on your spring break journey starts with choosing the perfect shoes. Opt for supportive tennis shoes to cushion your feet during airport travels. Make sure they have a stiff and supportive sole that does not flex or bend easily. Make each step comfortable and protect your feet from potential injuries. Wanting to wear flip flops? Consider recovery sandals or sport sandals like, Chacos, Oofos, or Birkenstocks for the best support.
Spending the night out on the town? Grab a pair of platforms but avoid anything with a heel to toe drop (difference between the height of the heel and the forefoot) higher than 1 ½ inches.
Boost Circulation with Compression Socks
Forget the misconception that compression socks are only for the elderly. Combat leg swelling and improve circulation during flights by investing in compression socks. Consult with Dr. Ho-Ellsworth for her recommended pair for you! Don’t forget to stretch your legs hourly during the flight to maintain optimal circulation and prevent leg cramps.
Hydration is Key
Whether your spring break paradise is along the Texas coast or up in the mountains, staying hydrated is crucial for overall health, including your feet. Keep cramps at bay by drinking plenty of water, and consider using hydration tablets to replenish essential electrolytes.
Shield Your Skin from Harmful Rays
While achieving a sun-kissed glow is tempting, protecting your skin is paramount. Safeguard yourself from harmful UV rays by applying sunscreen, and yes, don’t forget your feet – melanoma can occur anywhere. Combat the drying effects of sun, sea, or chlorine water by moisturizing daily with our recommended Kamea 20 lotion.
Embrace Relaxation
Make the most of your well-deserved break by prioritizing relaxation. Treat your feet to tolcylen foot soaks for a rejuvenating experience. Alleviate muscle aches with our suggested Kuribl 3000 mg CBD cream (THC-free), providing a natural solution for tired feet and beyond. Enjoy the versatility of this CBD lotion for targeted relief wherever you need it. And last, but not least, treat yourself to the best micro-cleansing soaks from Tolcylen, a foot soak that removes impurities and detoxifies your skin, leaving you feeling relaxed and refreshed. Perfect for cleansing your feet after a day on the beach.
