Feet & Aging

If you are a Pedicurist that primarily services an older demographic, you've probably heard your client mention that their feet don't look the same or feel the same anymore.  Often times the feet are disregarded and not even considered when it comes to aging. More often; people don't focus on their feet unless they begin to experience pain or some type of discomfort. From the time we are born we begin to age.  Aging is the chronological number of years lived and often involves physiologic changes in the body.  If you are fortunate to live into your ripe old years one day you will wake up and discover that you have a new gray hair or one extra wrinkle that wasn't there yesterday. These physical characteristics are what most people notice right away because it's the most obvious in physical appearances. However, the feet are aging and adding more years to each step day-by-day. The feet are the pillars of the body and keep us moving from place-to-place. As we age it is imperative to make sure that you take care of your feet by getting regular podiatry checkups and wearing comfortable fitting shoes at all times. 

One noticeable and fairly common characteristic of aging feet is thick and brittle toenails. Keeping the toenails cut and moisturizing the feet can bring much comfort and ease in your life. Circulatory and tendon issues may start to cause foot pain at this stage and this is when it is imperative that you seek the guidance of your Physician or Podiatrist. 

Aging is for the privileged and taking care of your feet is just part of the process!

Stay well and take care!
