Nurses, teachers, servers, warehouse and retail workers all know the feeling: you get home, kick off your shoes, and your feet let you know exactly how many steps you took. Here's a simple routine to help them feel better in about five minutes.
Step 1: Elevate (1 minute)
Lie down and rest your feet on a pillow or against the wall. It's a simple way to take a load off after hours of standing.
Step 2: Stretch (1 minute)
- Toe spread: Spread your toes wide, hold for 5 seconds, relax. Repeat 5 times.
- Ankle circles: Draw 10 slow circles in each direction with each foot.
- Calf stretch: Loop a towel around the ball of your foot and gently pull toward you for 20 seconds.
Step 3: Cool down (1 minute)
Twist up the Relief Stick and glide a thin layer over the soles of your feet, your arches and your calves. Menthol and peppermint bring a fresh, cooling sensation, and you never have to touch the lotion.
Keep one in your locker. The Relief Stick fits in a scrub pocket or work bag, so you can cool down tired feet and calves on your break without greasy hands.

Step 4: Massage (2 minutes)
Finish with a rich cream. Our Calm Body Butter blends lavender, 600 mg of hemp seed oil and shea butter. Press your thumbs along your arches and heels in small circles, then pull on clean socks to lock in the moisture overnight.
Bonus tips for long shifts
- Rotate between two pairs of supportive work shoes.
- Choose moisture-wicking socks.
- Keep a stick in your bag for a quick cool-down on breaks.
