Healthy feet in the chase for Swedish Championship gold – new partnership between DIF and BIOpH+
Djurgårdens IF Fotboll and BIOpH+ are launching a new partnership to coincide with tomorrow’s Allsvenskan match, when DIF faces Degerfors. The goal is for BIOpH+’s medical devices to help improve foot health for the team’s players, boosting their chances of winning the Swedish Championship gold.
Through this partnership, the Swedish medtech company also aims to raise public awareness of the importance of foot care. Many types of injuries and pain in the knees, hips, and back originate from foot problems. Even minor foot issues, such as calluses or cracked skin, impact the entire body. Good foot health is naturally absolutely critical for football players, and the partnership means players on both the women’s and men’s senior A teams will gain access to BIOpH+’s products.
"We are extremely proud to be able to help keep Djurgården’s players’ feet healthy. We hope our partnership with DIF can also lead to improved foot health for more competitive athletes and recreational exercisers alike, says Petra von Rohr, CEO of Biocool, the company that develops and manufactures the medical devices.
A recent clinical study of BIOpH+ products found highly significant results for conditions grouped under athlete’s foot, including fungal foot infections, calluses, cracked skin, dry feet, and foot odor. After just one week of treatment with the medical foot bath, participants with problematic feet saw a marked improvement in their quality of life.
"It is not uncommon for minor foot issues to lead to problems and injuries in other parts of the body. Our players’ feet are their most important tool, so it is essential that we take good care of them. Our hope is that our partnership with BIOpH+ will help improve foot health for all our players, from youth team members to elite professionals, says Daniel Malmgren of Djurgårdens IF Fotboll.
"Our players’ feet are their most important tool, and it is all too common for minor foot issues to cause injuries and pain elsewhere in the body. Taking care of your feet is essential, and our hope is that our partnership with BIOpH+ will help improve foot health for all our players," says Daniel Malmgren, Djurgårdens IF Fotboll.
