Aching feet

[dee k]

No suggestions for actual footwear, but a yoga pose that has helped my aching feet -----on your back with your bottom as close to a wall as possible, extend your legs up the wall and just be still with your legs elevated and heels resting gently on the wall.  My yoga instructor asked us to do this twice a day every day for 5 minutes ----- it made a world of difference to me.I am so glad to have found this message board!  What great discussions!

Gator, am currently breaking in my third pair of Birkenstocks... and they definitely need a breaking in period as mentioned. Also, I just thought I would suggest that since my newest pair is a unisex clog style (in suede) from Sam's Club for less than $25, you might want to check your local club to see if they have any still available. (I am pretty sure this style would be worth $80-$90 at department stores.) You really can't beat the price!  It is my second pair of Birkenstocks bought from Sam's Club.Have I worn them to do massage? Yes.  I don't really think I would prefer to do massage in them over my new balance shoes or being barefoot though.

Used to always wear NB's but could never find the same style twice.  Avia 234's are my sneaker of choice now.

In the OR I wear LLBeans comfort moc.  I am thinking of trying a new pair for massage.

Best $29 I spent for work, and I buy at least four times a year for work.

"Nurses" and other Health Care Professionals turn to clogs for the "squeeze" affordability.  We can easily slip our foot out...and stretch..squoosh, squeeze in the air.

I break out the foot bath regularly with Epsom.   I have a foot roller and best of all is a foot rub from my snother.

I invested in a couple of pairs of nurses shoes when I was in cosmetology school since I was on my feet ALL day. Continued wearing them when I became a massage therapist. It's been two years. I still rotate the two pairs of shoes. Never have any problems with my feet.

Hi all,Having been a coffee shop waitress for 27 years before becoming an MT, I have tried many different types and brands of shoes. For the past 5 years or so I only wear Softspot Supremes. They have different styles like tennis shoes and non tennis shoes.I LOVE these shoes and they last a long time.Tracy
