WHY SPREAD 'EM?
The best part of a pedicure is the foot massage. Those precious moments of pampering and soaking in warm water is our sweet reward for carrying us around all day. At some point, we've all experienced foot pain. Whether from long days in closed-toe shoes or a night out dancing in heels, our feet yell at us with our discomfort. Each foot is designed with 26 bones, 33 joints, more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments--that's a lot happening in such compact space! Let's help these poor soles out.
While many foot ailments can be genetic, many are caused from a lack of attention to our design. Spreading your five toes is one of the best ways to help your feet.
-RELIEVE discomfort and pain from bunions caused from wearing constraining footwear.
-HELP reverse the damage caused by wearing tight, ill-fitting shoes that can cause painful foot ailments like Morton's Neuroma.
-ACTIVATE muscles and increase blood circulation for enhanced healing.
-ALIGN the bones and strengthen muscles to train the toes to naturally uncross.
