Out in the Field: Foot Massages

Foot massages can ease anxiety, improve circulation, and support diabetic foot care, but Care Pros take precautions for conditions like neuropathy or cardiovascular issues.
Foot messages can greatly benefit seniors

While there are many techniques to help a client when anxiety is elevated, a foot massage can work absolute wonders. Foot massages promote good circulation and can help with pain management in seniors.

When clients suffer from neuropathy, easy bruising, or cardiovascular diseases, Care Pros, however, consult with our nurses before performing the task. Because these conditions might be exacerbated by foot massage, Care Pros take extra precautions.

Foot care becomes even more critical when clients are suffering from diabetes. During foot massages, Care Pros can also examine skin integrity and nail health. It is an opportunity for Care Pros to determine if clients may need a visit from an IncrediCare nurse or a trip to the podiatrist.
