Juanjo López advises on summer foot care to prevent swelling
Juanjo López, a sports traumatologist who treats tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, has issued advice on maintaining foot health during the summer months. He warns that high temperatures, humidity, and long walks can lead to swelling, heaviness, chafing, and muscle overload.
López notes that standing for extended periods can cause alterations in venous return, which may be aggravated by heat. To mitigate these issues, he recommends wearing footwear with a wider toe box to allow for natural toe positioning and to accommodate the expansion of the foot as blood vessels dilate in the heat. Additionally, he emphasizes the importance of using breathable materials to manage increased perspiration.
