If you know someone who suffers from plantar fasciitis, you know that it’s a large part of their life. And even though it may not be the first thing you consider when thinking about them, you’re aware of the pain they have to deal with on a regular basis. So this year, why not give them the gift of relief from their foot pain?
Consider these suggestions from Dr. Hubert Lee of CarePlus Foot & Ankle Specialists
Acupressure Slippers
There’s nothing like unwrapping a pair of slippers on Christmas morning. Consider acupressure slippers that have small spring-loaded buttons embedded in them that provide relief to sore and tired feet and help get the blood flowing better. While these aren’t the typical soft and fluffy slippers you might be used to gifting, they can be very helpful for people suffering from mild to moderate foot pain.
Shiatsu Foot Massager
Who wouldn’t want a foot massage machine that makes their feet feel absolutely incredible? Choose one that has air compression, infrared heating, different modes, and removable foot pads that are machine washable. The heat and air compression are very relaxing, particular for those living with plantar fasciitis. Many like to keep it plugged in next to their bed to use first thing in the morning, or at their desk to use during the day.
Single Foot Massage Roller
The plastic formed version of this foot roller is especially good for people suffering from plantar fasciitis because it’s softer than the wooden versions and provides more control. It makes a great stocking stuffer, it’s fun, brightly colored, affordable, and helps a lot of people who have tried it.
Foot Massage Oil
This is a nice stocking stuffer for your partner – tell them it’s for foot rubs! Choose an all-natural massage oil that is created with a mixture of lavender, marjoram, and peppermint. It’s lightly scented and very soothing!
So Which Gifts Should You Choose?
At these prices, you can probably buy them all! Just choose one (or more) that fits your budget, and the personality of the person you’re buying it for and you won’t go wrong!
