Footcare is Important
Footcare is not about aesthetics; it is about health promotion and teaching. Footcare is a standardized and sterile technique performed by a licensed professional with specialized training in footcare. Footcare nurses work with a team of health care professionals such as family doctors, diabetic clinics, podiatrists, and others to keep a person mobile and healthy.
Regular footcare treatments by a certified nurse help reduce the risk of developing foot complications and prevent the development of infections or injuries. Further, consistent treatment can help clients stand, bear weight, increase mobility and maintain foot health . Footcare can also reduce the risk of trips and falls.
Maintaining healthy feet has benefits such as reducing pain and increasing mobility and physical activity. In addition, footcare can help boost self-esteem and confidence while increasing and supporting social contact, sport and exercise.
