• One-fourth of the bones in the entire human body are in your feet. When these bones are out of alignment, it can affect your entire body.

• The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps in a day, which adds up to about 115,000 miles over a lifetime. That’s enough to travel around the circumference of the earth four times!

Health Benefits of Pedicures
Keep your toenails in shape with a regular pedicure. Beautifully groomed nails are not only stylish and beautiful, but have great health benefits. So don't neglect your feet!
Women have four times more foot problems than men, often because of the shoes that women wear. Ill-fitting shoes can overcrowd the feet, causing ingrown toenails by pushing the soft tissue against the edge of the toenail. This can cause irritation of the skin, swelling, infection and pain. We suggest cutting and filing nails your nails straight across and not too short to prevent ingrown nails. Regular pedicures will keep them correctly shaped.
A rejuvenating professional pedicure is the perfect remedy for tired, puffy, sore feet and legs. A pedicure with a foot massage will increase blood circulation and help relax muscles, providing relief from daily over use, PMS, pregnancy, post-flight fatigue and long training runs. And the deep moisturizing lotion and buffing during a pedicure will help eliminate cracked heels and soften calluses.
If cuticles grow over the nail bed, they not only look sloppy but it can cause hangnails. The main reason for hangnails is the cuticle dries out and partially detaches from the nail. These are not only unattractive, but can be painful if picked, pulled or snagged on clothing. Keeping the cuticles moisturized is the key to preventing hangnails. During a pedicure, cuticles are softened with cuticle oil and gently pushed back to the base of the nail. Using InSpa Cuticle Crème or Intensive Foot Rescue during your regular maintenance at home will prevent dryness.
Don’t underestimate the emotional benefits of having a professional pedicure. It will allow you to relax with your feet up and close your eyes or leaf through a magazine without a care in the world (...or at least as long as your pedicure appointment!). Having cute toes painted in the perfect shade of pink or glamorous in a dramatic red will not only lift your mood, but also increase your shoe options!

Cleanliness Counts
If you have seen the recent media coverage, sanitation of your pedicure tools and tub is a very real concern. You need to get a professional pedicure from a reputable business that practices good sanitation and puts your health first.
At InSpa, we offer higher-than-required industry standards for our nail services sanitization practices. InSpa thoroughly disinfects our pedicure tubs after every use, soaking each tub with EPA-approved disinfectant and detergent. Pedicure tubs screens are removed and cleaned after each client. Daily cleaning logs are maintained on all spa tubs. All tools, equipment and instruments are medically sterilized between uses and delivered to your appointment in a specially designed sterilization pouch for your verification. Licensed nail technicians perform all of our nail services.
Your safety is important to us, no matter where you choose to get your pedicure. Pedicure tubs need to be cleaned correctly, so they do not spread infection. Here are some questions that you need to ask wherever you are getting a professional pedicure:
• Are the salon and the operator's licenses posted and visible?
• Does the salon look clean and well maintained?
• How do they clean their spas and their tools-and how long do they disinfect?
• Ask to see the disinfectant used and look to see if it is EPA approved
• Ask them to remove and show you the screen on the pedicure tub
• Ask to see the cleaning log before you set one foot into a footspa.
Knowing the answers to these questions will allow you to relax and truly enjoy your treatment. |

Fungus Among Us
Nail fungus is made up of tiny organisms that can infect and live under the toenails or fingernails. The nails of our fingers and toes are effective barriers to superficial infections. But once a nail is infected that same barrier can make it difficult to treat the infection and protects the fungus while it grows under the nail bed.
Most often, nail fungus appears in the toenails because socks and shoes keep the toenails dark, warm, and moist where they like to grow. Fungi often cause the area around the base of the nail to become red and irritated. As it spreads, there is often mild discomfort, itchiness, or even pain around the cuticles. The nail can become discolored and thicken developing grooves, lines, or tiny holes.
Because foot fungus is contagious, your feet should be completely clear of these problems before receiving a pedicure. It is recommended if you see changes in your nails to see a podiatrist or your health care provider. |
