Returning to work, getting back into exercise, long days on your feet… The start of the school year puts a lot of strain on your feet. Pain in the feet, knees, or back may then resurface. Before these issues become chronic, the pharmacy can play a role in prevention and providing guidance.
When the school year begins, your feet adjust to a new rhythm. After a more active summer—often spent wearing sandals or unusual shoes—returning to work, school, or sports can lead to foot fatigue, heel pain, or discomfort in the knees and back.
Foot health is an area of diversification that pharmacies have yet to fully explore. With Vistapod, pharmacists can offer a free podometric assessment and guide patients toward a suitable solution: custom orthotic insoles or comfort insoles.

Every August 12, International Youth Day serves as a reminder of the importance of supporting young people’s health and well-being. Foot health also deserves early attention: walking, sports, school backpacks, and long school days put daily strain on the feet.
At a time when patients are increasingly interested in the origin and traceability of healthcare products, proximity is becoming a key factor in their decision-making. Orthopedic insoles are no exception to this trend.
"Callus" refers to a thickening of the skin’s outer layer. This defense mechanism develops as a result of repeated pressure or friction. When this thickening becomes excessive, it is called hyperkeratosis. Calluses are larger areas that are often yellowish and have indistinct borders. They develop mainly on the ball of the foot, the sides of the foot, or the heel. Although they are painless at first, they can crack and cause pain.
