What Is A Men’s Sports Pedicure And Why Should I Get One?

We admit it: traditionally pedicures are something we normally associate with women, but it’s becoming more and more common for men of all ages to put a little more effort into looking after themselves. This is especially true for men who are at the top of their game: whether that be in business, sport, or just those who really put their health and wellbeing first. A lot of successful businessmen and sportsmen regularly invest in themselves, putting aside time every week to make sure they’re looking and feeling as good as possible, and that extends to their feet.

As well as pedicures, men are increasingly taking more care over their diet, skin care, exercise regime and grooming. This has lead to a huge increase in the number and variety of treatments available to men, with a fantastic choice now available in most parts of the country. One treatment that’s certainly gained pace of late in popularity is the men’s sports pedicure. Allegedly favoured by the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Mel Gibson, and 50 Cent, the male pedicure has officially gone mainstream. It’s a great choice for men who like to work and play hard, but acknowledge that sometimes the feet that get you there need some TLC.

So, what do you mean by a sport’s pedicure?

A men’s sports pedicure is a procedure during which a beauty therapist will clean and trim your toenails, get rid of dead skin, massage your soles and release muscular tension. At the end of the pedicure, your feet will look clean and tidy and feel fantastic. They are quick enough to fit into your lunch break, or the perfect way to de-stress after work, a men’s sports pedicure will leave you feeling relaxed and conditioned for the day ahead.

But what will I actually get out of it?

There are lots of benefits of investing in regular men’s sports pedicures. Apart from the obvious aesthetic reasons, men’s sports pedicures have a number of practical benefits. If you’re a keen athlete, regular pedicures will help you to keep your feet in good condition. During the pedicure, your mobile beauty therapist will remove excess dead skin, callouses and blisters around your feet. This can help you to perform better in the gym and ensure you don’t develop painful pressure points and skin conditions on your feet. In addition, massaging will increase blood flow to your feel which will help to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and therefore help you to recover after an energetic workout session.

Removing the dead skin from your feet can also help to eradicate their smell. For some men, this is a major motivator in having regular pedicures, especially if they have an ongoing problem with foot odour.
