“The fact is, sometimes it’s hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun." ~Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City
I hate to disagree with Carrie, but sometimes walking in shoes is not all that fun. In fact, it can be downright torture. And not just the squeezed skin and achy arch feeling you get from a night out dancing that usually results in walking home barefoot carrying your heels. It can also cause serious damage to our back, tendons, and calf muscles. With Sex and the City 2 coming out next week, every night has been ladies' night as of late — and thus I've been out just about every night. But it is my feet, not my liver, that have have suffered. I was so sore last week I could barely get out of bed. And being stuck in bed sucks ... when it's against your will, that is.
The culprit: Shoes like the designer heels ones we give away at Strike and the City on Thursdays.
The cure: High Heel Therapy, a specialized form of therapy that targets the areas of your body that heels hurt — de-stressing the feet and preparing them ready for open-toed shoes too. But it's more about health than vanity: The High Heel Therapy massage releases the muscle tension and allows proper blood flow for firmer, stronger legs and increased energy. It will also stimulate lymphatic flow, which will release toxins that make the legs feel tired and heavy.
Now, we can have our shoes and wear them, too! Go see Jen at Drift Spa and Wellness.
And while you're at it, try a pedicure at Polished Nail Bar — which just opened a new location in SouthPark — and a detox foot bath at Haas Wellness Center.
