security guard's foot pain from standing on concrete

[Guest guest]

Any ideas on how to help a wonderful, open-minded security guard whose

feet are in desperate pain from his job?

Actually, it's all his co-workers who are suffering too.

They have to stand 8 hours a day on concrete, and are trying

everything imaginable [magnets in their shoes, etc].

I'd love to help them with the device, but don't know where to begin

since removing the concrete stressor and getting a different job

aren't options.

Looking forward to your ideas. And as always, thanks in advance.

Hello,

If they stand pretty much in one spot, a rubber matt will help.

Here's the scoop.

A few weeks ago I called my step-father (who is now 80 years old) to ask him why he use to soak his feet in corn meal?

(I'd received a note and instructions about this from a relative...."cornmeal for toe fungus).

That brought back memories and I remembered Mr. Lee would prepare a pan of cornmeal and soak his feet in it.

So I called him to ask why he did this.

His answer to me was:

The feet are the most important part for a person who stands all day on concrete.

When the feet are in good shape, the whole body is good (according to him) .

And then....he said, "do you remember that I worked at American Can company all those years?

Well, the company knew the importance of having healthy feet for all of the workers there. So they provided all of us RUBBER MATTS to stand on while working because the floor was concrete'.

Concrete draws moisture out....

That man will soon be 81 years old and is in very good health / condition!
