Blister Prevention & Management

In this episode of the How I Rehab Podcast, we sit down with Rebecca Rushton, podiatrist and director of Esperance Podiatry, to dig into a real clinical case on blister prevention and management. Rebecca shares the practical strategies and clinical reasoning she uses to help patients avoid blisters and manage them effectively when they do occur. We chat to: What causes blisters and what is repetitive shear deformation? What are the 5 stages of blisters? Taping is a commonly used method to prevent blisters. Does it help reduce blisters? Should we shave/trimming a callous? Should I pierce or pop a fluid-filled blister? Can you measure shear to help prevent blisters? Prevention of blisters: What works? What does not? What does not work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoESNZurq90 Do you want to go deeper with your rehabilitation skills?
