injuries/medical problems:tendonitis, degenerative arthritis

[Tania (home office)]

If you are already dealing with an existing foot/leg issue, perhaps bring
along some peppermint oil or tiger balm, both are fairly light-weight, a
luxury item for sure, and provide incredible healing whilst walking/exercising.

Good luck!
