Blister Prevention University


Approved CPD
Dealing with blisters can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be
Does any of this sound familiar?
- Is taping your go-to blister strategy? Feel like you’re clutching at straws if it doesn’t work?
- Do you compromise your orthotic prescription to avoid arch blisters from orthotic irritation?
- Ever had someone get blisters with a shoe you recommended, and you’re at a complete loss to explain why?
- Do you have clients say they’ve tried every prevention strategy there is - and you don’t know what to suggest next?
Blisters are not just the most common FOOT injury in sport...


Did You Know?
- Many of your clients aren't telling you about their blister issues and aren't asking for help.
- They don't think there's anything you can that they can't already do themselves.
- They can't see past the flawed 'heat-moisture-friction' paradigm of blister causation, and so they're stuck in the impossible, relentless pursuit of trying to keep their feet cool and dry when they exercise.
- They believe blisters are completely unpredictable and they've come to accept blisters as inevitable in their active lifestyles.
I've Been Helping Athletes With Blisters For 15 Years
Here's What I Can Tell You
The real reason blisters seem so difficult to get rid of is:
- 1. We focus on the wrong cause of blisters
- 2. We have no framework to work to when something doesn't work
And so...
Is It Any Wonder?
- Blisters continue to be the most common injury in sport?
- You're using a scattergun approach to blister prevention?
- You're not sure how to do things differently?
- Your clients are putting up with blisters unnecessarily?

FAQs
Forever.
If you think you can save money and do all this yourself, well, you’re absolutely right, you could… in theory. Just be prepared to set aside a lot of time. It’s taken me: – 15 years – 4 lever arch files full of research on blisters, other shear-related skin damage, dermatology and tribology – Tens of thousands of dollars (probably even more than that – I don’t even want to think about it) – Weeks spent at ultramarathon events providing footcare – And I can’t even hazard a guess at how much of my personal and family time it has taken to figure all this out. Or you can have it all delivered to you in the next 30 seconds because I’ve done all the work for you.
I agree, you could. So why haven’t you? I can tell you why. This topic is counterintuitive. There are errors in both academia and the lay media. This course is designed to help you hit the ground running TODAY, not in 6 months, or the 15 years it took me!
I get it! Bite-sized, easy-to-find, intuitive, jump in and out where/whenever you like. Done!
Our clients have a frighteningly low expectation of our ability to help them with this injury. They think there’s nothing you can do. They’re too shy to tell you that the last thing you did or suggested didn’t work. They think they did something wrong and so they’ve come to accept blisters as inevitable. Just because they’re not telling you about it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. If you still think friction blisters aren’t that big a deal and your clients aren’t suffering and struggling with them behind closed doors, you’re wrong. Friction blisters of the feet are not just the most common FOOT injury in sport, they’re THE most common injury in sport and walking activites. Your clients aren’t telling you about them because they genuinely think there’s nothing you can do and they think they are completely unpredictable. The fact is, blisters are very predictable and you hold invaluable insights and skills as a podiatrist to help them.
Do you help people with their foot problems? Is it your job to maximise performance and minimise pain? This course is made just for you!
Yes! This course gives you 6 hours of CPD (6.0 CEUs).
Stop letting this opportunity slip through your fingers
Take the most common foot pathology there is in sport, become more informed about it, and start educating your clients on the best preventions and treatments available. They’ll thank you for it! And you’ll enjoy the boost to your professional reputation, your bottom line and word-of-mouth referrals.
