Office Hours
Join Rebecca Rushton (the Blister Pod) every month for insight, learning and education on all things blister prevention. Sign up or watch previous recordings below.
This month's episode of Blister Prevention Office Hours is 100% dedicated to foot blister Q&A. Questions submitted were on the topics of lacing, taping, running, hiking, school shoes and interdigital blisters.
