Caring for Blisters from Rowing with Help from San Carlos Urgent Care

June 4th was National Learn to Row Day, and Bair Island Aquatic Center (BIAC) is getting in on the action. This summer from 9am-1pm, the BIAC Boathouse is holding a free Learn-to-Row Day for anybody who would like to learn the art of rowing.

Not only is it a wonderful way to bond and enjoy the beauty of the local San Carlos lakes and rivers, but it is also an excellent way to get fit as rowing develops everything from arm and leg strength to your cardiovascular system.

Given the nature of this activity, however, it can involve a high incidence of overuse injuries. One of the most common are intense blisters on the hands that affect both beginners and pros. In fact, blisters due to rowing are often inevitable.

However, don’t let that prevent you from learning how to row! San Carlos urgent care center shares some useful advice on understanding and preventing rowing blisters.
