IT'S NOT A BEAUTY
PARLOUR BUT FOOT PARLOUR
Every person in his
lifetime walks for 1,15,000 miles. Our feet have 26 bones and 29 joints,
2 big blood vessels. Our feet has to bear the weight of our body for a
life time, still the skin under our feet never gets sore of develop
tears.
Our foot is very important as it always takes your weight while walking
or standing. But if any one of them develops a problem then the person
is in for trouble.
People become helpless when their feet get affected due to diabetes,
bone disease, osteoporosis, joint pain or a wound. Feet are very
important for dancers, sportsmen, runners etc. Person who is diabetic or
addicted to alcohol and tobacco faces this problem due to their blood
vessels and nerves and when the situation goes out of control and
gangrene is formed then we have to cut the toes or even the leg.
It becomes difficult to walk when there is problem in joints, ligaments
or due to osteoporosis.
All the people do not take proper care of their feet while bathing. When
such an important part of body is neglected, it becomes unbearable when
something untowed happens. That's why for the first time SANJIVANI
HOSPITAL, Dombivli has started a FOOT PARLOUR.
Dr. Arun Patil who has been working for diabetics since the last 14
years has come out with this unique idea of Foot Parlour. Both the feet
are kept in warm water for 5 minutes. Avoid hot water for diabetic
patients as the sensation in their feet is less and their skin can get
burnt. Savlon (antiseptic) and H2O2 is added to the luke warm water.
Nails get softer to cut after dipping foor in water. Different way to
cut the nails and also filing is done. Peds are given to wear and that
portion is cleaned with spirit or savlon. Dirt is removed by brush from
nails. Under foot is shown in the mirror.
Any ailments, wound etc. are treated. Sensation of the feet are tested
by bringing them in contact with cold and hot water which are in a test
tube. Checking of blood vessels and oil massage is also done. Exercises
of leg and foot are conducted. Finally, advice on proper shoes and socks
are given. Special training has been given to selected nurses for this
purpose. Every three months tests are conducted for full body check-up,
osteoporosis, foot sensation, etc. and all the records are maintained.
The foot parlour has been recently begun. Not only diabetics and addicts
approach us, but also those who care about their feet have started
utilizing this facility. Nearly 60 people have already taken advantage
of this parlour.
Taking 15 minutes for the foot parlour is ensuring that you have strong
and healthy feet for a lifetime. Remember, walking 1,15,000 miles id
equal to "pradakshina" ( taking rounds around the earth) of earth four
times and this is facilitated only by Sanjeevani.
The author of this book goes for long walks 2-3 times in a year and also
encourages others to join him.
Last year one of our friends walked from Dombivli to Neral (45Kms) in
celebration of his 25th wedding anniversary and also gave the slogan of
"WALKING WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE" to the people he mate on his way.
