All Natural Foot Pain Relief Methods For Nurses and Anyone Who Stands Or Walks All Day During Work
It’s the end of your shift. You’re feet ache because you’ve been on them all day and you can hardly wait to go home, kick off your shoes, and get the weight of your feet. Throughout the day and on the way home, you can’t help but think of finding some foot pain relief. Or better yet, a way to prevent it in the first place.
As a nurse you don’t get the option of sitting all day. As you well know, standing and walking all day is part of the job description. And it is all that standing and walking that is causing your feet to ache and sometime downright hurt. And I don’t have to tell you that pain can drain your energy too.
But imagine how much nicer it would be to work that job when you don’t have to worry about your feet, legs, or back aching, when standing or walking for 12 hours doesn’t make you feel exhausted and cause your feet such great discomfort. Think of what it would be like if you could go to happy hour after work with co-workers, come home from the job and have the energy to play with the kids, or even go dancing with your spouse after work day is done.
To help you get back to enjoying some after work activities, give you foot pain relief and bring that energy back, there are 3 things you can do.
- Frequent foot rubs – A foot massage will help improve blood circulation and loosen tight muscles in the feet causing those muscles to relax. This occurs by pushing directly on pressure points and manipulating nerves in the foot and then releasing. Some studies have shown foot massages even help speed up the removal of toxins in the body which make standing for long hours less painful.
- Give your feet a foot bath – Soak your feet in an herbal foot soak made with salt, lemon, lavender, or peppermint. Use a combination of these ingredients or find others to rejuvenate, and invigorate tired and event swollen feet. To promote relaxation and restful sleep, use lavendar in your mix. Peppermint is a great herb that’s good for your tired feet and increases circulation. Throw California poppy in the mix for a pain reliever and consider lemon balm for stress relief.
- Find a pair of comfortable shoes for your feet – Shoes play a huge role in keeping feet from aching and getting tired as a result of long hours spent standing and walking. Finding the right pair can prevent foot pain and give foot pain relief should it start. Talk to fellow nurses and other medical professionals and find out what style or even brand of shoe works for them.
