Winter Wellness from Your Feet Up! | Posture Podiatry Latest News – Winter Edition
Keeping You Steady, Warm, Mobile & Pain-Free This Winter
Hello from the Team at Posture Podiatry!
The cooler mornings have definitely arrived in Adelaide. Let’s hope the rain isn’t too far away. As the temperatures drop and winter sets in, it’s the perfect time to check in on your foot health. Cold weather can aggravate existing issues and lead to new ones. Here’s how we can help you stay mobile, warm, and pain-free through the cooler months.
Winter Foot Health Tips
-
Keep Feet Warm & Dry – Cold, damp conditions can worsen circulation and trigger pain, especially for those with arthritis, stiff joints or diabetes. Wear moisture-wicking socks and waterproof shoes.
-
Dry grounds = harder falls – when it comes to sport, we find the wetter the ground, the softer the landing. With the lack of Adelaide rain so far, it’s not uncommon to see more stress and overuse injuries in the feet and legs. If heel pain or foot pain arises, we’re here to help.
-
Keep Moving – All too often many complaints start to arise with inactivity. Try to keep moving as much as possible during the winter months.
-
Watch for Chilblains – Itchy, red bumps in cold weather? Book a check-up to prevent infection or complications.
-
Moisturise Regularly – Dry air = dry skin! Use a decent foot cream to help prevent cracks and heel fissures.

Did You Know?
Falls increase by over 30% in winter.
Harder surfaces, slippery conditions, and stiff joints all contribute. A simple balance test at your podiatry check-up can help predict your fall risk and we can help prevent falls with the right treatment and exercises. Ask our podiatrists for the latest 2025 version of our “Balance and Falls Risk” fact sheet.
