Thank you to our Key Workers - What's inside the key worker pack?

Sarah Pellumbi • 18 February 2021



This week, we wanted to take the opportunity to say another massive thank you to our key workers. Whether that's you, your friends, family or loved ones, we know that the stress of the current climate is taking a toll, and so we have put together some tips to help ensure that you can keep standing for us all. 

In addition, we have launched our key worker packs, everything that you could need to make sure your feet can withstand all the extra pressure that you are currently under.

To instantly relieve your burning feet, Akileine Red Intense Freshness Spray is ideal for those of you constantly on the go. With being on your feet for so long, painful and uncomfortable feet can start to take its toll. This spray activates microcirculation helping even the smallest blood vessels to do their job. Quick and easy to use, this is great for those of you that need something between cream applications while at work. The best thing about this spray is that it can even be used through socks, stockings and tights meaning it's the perfect on the go treatment to refresh your feet even if you don't get the chance to have a break. Spray generously from the bottom of the foot upwards to the ankle. 


Don't forget to ensure that when you are then putting your shoes back on, they are the correct shoes for you! It is important to remember that for those of you on your feet all day, this can make a huge difference. Ensure your shoes are not too tight or too loose. It may even be worth taking another pair of shoes with you to work, changing halfway through the day, this can alter your foot position and allow different muscle use, stopping muscles from being overused.


About to start your next shift? Feel like there isn't going to be an end in sight? Are your feet already painful and irritated? Why not put on some Akileine Red Ice Gel before putting your socks and shoes on? This will help to make your feet feel instantly relieved, cooled and refreshed. Containing Ginkgo extract to activate micro-circulation, it is also a non-greasy and non-sticky formula, meaning you can slip straight into your socks and shoes. This will help to soothe your painful feet from the first application! 


Ensure that you are stretching before you head out there! Stretching out your calves, hamstrings and following the exercises that we mentioned in a recent video (You can see it HERE bit.ly/footexercisesathome) can help to avoid injury and help your lower limbs keep going longer. 


Finally home from your mega shift? Between shifts? Or even your day off? Are your feet swollen, inflamed or just generally tired feeling? We aren't surprised! Akileine Red Cream is here for those days that your feet can't take anymore! Help to promote circulation and freshen up by rubbing this cream all over your feet! On days off, or if you are having to stand in the same spot for a long time while working, make sure to keep moving, even if only a little. This helps to prevent pressure from being focused on the same spot all day and gives aching muscles a break. Try doing something as simple as wiggling your toes, shifting your weight by standing in different positions or walking around a little. 


We love the Akileine red range which is why we have included it in the Key Workers pack, alongside our favourite foot accessory!

Socks can make a huge difference to the well-being of your feet, and so also included in our key workers pack are a pair of Thought Bamboo Socks. These socks are not only sustainable but are also designed to allow your feet to breathe and relax. Made from bamboo that has strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties they will help to keep your feet healthy and hygienic! Also, we are hoping that fun and colourful designs will help to bring a smile to your day because you deserve that more than anything else!


Whether you're buying the pack as a gift or a treat for yourself, we have included a beautifully illustrated rainbow thank you card and envelope, blank on the inside ready for your message.


Our key worker pack contents are worth £47.50 but we have priced them at £35.00 as our way of saying thank you too, they are available to purchase here.


We know that some community groups are raising funds to buy key worker gifts and so if this is you please email sarah.pellumbi@foothealthbattersea.co.uk for more information on our bulk buy discounts.
