Foot Care Handbook by Stephanie L. Tourles Pdf

The number of people who experience foot pain is on the rise, and it’s been shown that those plagued by chronic foot pain are more likely to have pain in other parts of their bodies. In Foot Care Handbook, best-selling author, herbalist, and certified foot reflexologist Stephanie Tourles sets out to help readers experience the feel-good benefits of healthy, happy feet. Along with natural remedies for common foot problems—including athlete’s foot, blisters, bunions, corns, cracked skin, and plantar fasciitis—she explains foot physiology for the layperson and provides exercises for stretching and strengthening feet; massage techniques for foot relaxation and restoration; and reflexology. Friendly, accessible, and empowering, this guide gives readers the tools and information they need for feeling better on—and about—their feet.

The Foot Book by Jonathan D. Rose,Vincent J. Martorana Pdf

Aching or painful feet make it hard to stand or walk -- not to mention dance, play sports, and take part in other activities. To keep you on your feet, this book offers a rich resource for understanding what can go wrong and how disorders, diseases, and injuries to the foot are diagnosed and treated. In this readable guide to common conditions that affect the foot and ankle, podiatrists Jonathan D. Rose and Vincent J. Martorana outline the professional and self-care treatment options available.

Everything is covered -- from corns and calluses to cancer and skin and nail problems, including special sections on children's feet, sports injuries, footwear, and orthotics.
