The Linden Method Review

Getting there is half the fun, at least that’s what people say. But getting there can be the worst part of your trip if you anticipate long hours on the road, on the tracks, or in the air.

Chalk it up to tight transportation quarters or cramped positions. In fact, inactivity and sitting in one position for prolonged periods, as many people do while traveling, can stiffen muscles and hinder circulation. Because of this inactivity, certain health problems can also be caused such as blood clots in the legs and swelling of the feet.

When it comes to finding relief and relaxation during your journey and at your destination, it is as simple as knowing how to treat your feet. You can help keep your circulation in check if you move and stretch your feet and legs and wear proper footwear.

Give your feet – and yourself – a little tender loving care with these simple travel tips.

Try to work out in your seat. You may not be able to sprint through the aisle, but it is possible to have physical activity without irking other passengers with the help of these simple foot exercises.

Be sure to rotate each foot several times clockwise and counterclockwise and repeat procedure. Flex your toes up and down, working your calves. If room permits, try raising each knee, holding it there for a few seconds and tensing your thigh muscle. Or you can just wiggle your toes.

Stay mobile. You should listen t the pilot’s advice when he tells you to move about the cabin because it would do you good. According to experts, you should stretch your legs and walk around at least once an hour. To facilitate movement, request an aisle seat if possible.

Comfortable footwear should be worn. Take off your shoes or loosen your shoelaces while you are traveling. If you want to keep swollen feet at bay during long flights, then wear supportive elastic stockings. Pack supportive shoes and socks, especially if your vacation calls for plenty of sightseeing on foot.

Wear heels no higher than 1.5 inches if a special evening calls for high heels. The wider the heel, the more support and this is the podiatrist’s rule of thumb. A pair of quality oxfords for men offers comfort during a night of dancing.

What should you do with new shoes that haven’t been broken in? The best thing to do is to leave them at home.

Cool your heels. Pack a spa kit for your feet, complete with foot lotion for a soothing massage, a foot brush and pedicure materials for use after a full day of walking around.
