👟 BACK TO SCHOOL — HAPPY FEET START WITH HAPPY SHOES!

Are your child’s school shoes ready for another year? 🎒👣
Children’s feet are growing all the time, so make sure their school shoes:

✔️ Fit properly — not too tight or too loose

✔️ Have enough room for the toes to move

✔️ Provide good support and cushioning

✔️ Are comfortable from the very first wear

✔️ Aren’t worn down or misshapen

Don’t forget to check their feet too!

Blisters, corns, hard skin, rubbing or changes in the way they walk can all be signs that their footwear isn't right.

👣 Happy feet = happy children!

5 Foot Facts During Menopause

1. Your skin becomes drier
During menopause, reduced estrogen can cause dry skin and cracked heels.

2. Burning feet can occur
Some women experience burning or tingling sensations in their feet due to hormonal and nerve changes.

3. Your foot shape may change
Ligaments can weaken with age and hormonal changes, causing feet to spread or flatten slightly.

4. Foot pain may increase
Menopause can contribute to heel pain, arch pain, and joint stiffness, including conditions like Plantar Fasciitis.

5. Bone health matters
The risk of Osteoporosis increases after menopause, which can affect bones in the feet and increase fracture risk.

Today’s featured foot care treatment is the Winter Recovery Hydration Ritual, which is especially important during the dry January months.

​🧼 The Treatment: Winter Recovery Ritual
​This 15-minute routine is designed to restore moisture and circulation.

​1. The "Smart" Warm Soak (5–10 Minutes)

​Fill a basin with warm (not hot) water.
​The Add-in: Add 1 cup of Epsom salts and 2 tablespoons of olive or coconut oil.
​The Benefit: The salt relaxes tired muscles while the oil begins the deep hydration process.
​2. Targeted "Dry" Filing
​After the soak, pat your feet thoroughly dry—especially between the toes.
​The Move: Use a fine-grit glass or ceramic file on your heels and calluses.
​3. The "Moisture Sandwich"
​Step A: Apply a Urea-based cream (10%–20% Urea) to soften hard skin.
​Step B: "Seal" it with a thin layer of petroleum jelly.
​Step C: Wear 100% cotton socks overnight to lock in the hydration.

​While DIY care is great for maintenance, professional clinics like Happy Feet Foot Care Clinic provide clinical-grade treatments that go beyond a standard pedicure.
​Pro Tip: If you notice any redness, swelling, or "crumbly" texture on the nails, skip the DIY and book an appointment with Deirdre 0863612578
