As part of our role as foot health advocates, we invite you to learn more about where your feet fit in to your overall health. You may be surprised at the link between your feet, and the health of your entire body! By understanding the impact of your feet and legs on your health, you can be more physically active, and improve your health. And nothing is more important than that!
Why are your feet important?
#1 They keep you active & mobility is independence: We’re talking about the important stuff here: your life, your community, freedom, relationships, health, activity, travel, independence, mobility, and your overall happiness! It’s a tall order, but foot health can help you to live your best life.
#2 They are a work of art! Or at least Leonardo Da Vinci thought so when he said, ‘The human foot is a masterpiece of engineering and a work of art.’ Did you know that your foot contains 28 bones, 33 joints, more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments, and 250,000 sweat glands? Your feet support your entire body and need to work well for you to be active and healthy.
Why do people see Podiatrists?
Our feet endure both the load of our body weight and keep us standing against gravity. They are constantly supporting us, taking onboard feet back and propelling us through our lives. As such, they are vulnerable to injury and other issues. A Podiatrist should be your first point of call with any issues related to the foot and ankle.
