Golf places great emphasis on one of the greatest qualities in any sports person:
stability. This stability is, above all, a mental aspect, as any time under pressure is when you most need to stay calm. However, there is also a physical part to stability, which is based on a controlled process which begins and ends with our feet.

For this reason, we must take care of them, using the correct footwear and making sure we regularly provide them with suitable treatment. To obtain the best treatment, we should go and see a chiropodist. These professionals are very often overlooked, but for
those in the know, they provide essential healthcare required to enjoy sport to the full.
This treatment, in some cases prophylactic and in others therapeutic, can be scheduled on regular check-ups (1 to 3 months) for hardness, callouses, helomas and also nail problems which can lead to pain, functional impairment and infections of all kinds (fungi and bacteria). On other occasions, consultations may lead to diagnoses such as fasciitis, tendinosis, and tenosynovitis which, on most occasions, with early diagnosis and treatment specially tailored to each pathology, can quickly be resolved.
Finally, given that our feet have to bear a great deal of weight during a round of golf, we must provide them with cushioning and support. Therefore, orthotic devices such as insoles are an easy, comfortable and cheap solution in the medium term to prevent future injuries and start looking after our feet.
