When we play sports, we often focus on muscle strengthening, endurance, or technique, but one area that deserves special attention is the feet.
They're our body's fulcrum, the fulcrum of every movement, and for this very reason, they're among the parts of the body most prone to stress and injury. In this article, we'll explore the most common foot problems in athletes and the ideal solution for optimal recovery after exercise.
The most common foot problems during sports
Sports practice, especially if intense or repeated, can cause various foot problems, including:
-
Blisters : Repeated friction with shoes, moisture or incorrect positioning of the foot can easily lead to the formation of painful blisters.
-
Plantar Pain : Running, jumping, and other high-impact activities can put strain on the soles of your feet, causing inflammation such as plantar fasciitis.
-
Black Nails : Constantly hitting the tip of your shoe, especially while running or hiking, can lead to bruises under your nails.
-
Calluses and Corns : Continuous friction and pressure can promote thickening of the skin, which leads to the formation of calluses and corns.
-
Sprains and Traumas : Sports that require sudden movements and changes of direction, such as football or basketball, increase the risk of ankle sprains and microtraumas to the feet.
The importance of post-workout care
Neglecting post-workout foot health can lead to long-term consequences: chronic pain, decreased performance, and, in more severe cases, injuries requiring extended breaks from athletic activity. Post-workout care is therefore essential, not only to speed up recovery but also to prevent future problems.

-
Refreshing and decongestant effect : Thanks to its formula enriched with natural ingredients such as Peppermint Essential Oil, Feet Relax gives an immediate sensation of freshness, relieving swelling and heaviness.

Moisturizing and regenerating action : In addition to decongesting, Feet Relax deeply hydrates the skin of the feet, helping prevent the formation of blisters, calluses, and cracks. The aloe vera and vitamin E in the formula stimulate cell regeneration.

- Before bed : If you've had a particularly busy day or participated in a competition, apply FEET RELAX before going to bed to aid night-time recovery.
- In combination with stretching and self-massage : To maximize the benefits, use FEET RELAX after a session of targeted foot stretching or a self-massage of the feet using a ball or roller.
