Your Feet
It's important to understand that your feet have direct impact on the rest of your body and support you with each step.
Did you know:
- A small abnormality in foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort to your knees, hips and lower back.
- When you are running, the pressure on your feet can be three or four times your body weight. Even walking can produce more pressure than the sum of your body weight.
- The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day? That adds up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime or more than four times around the world. That is a lot of walking with ill-fitting shoes or painful feet!!
- In some cases foot ailments can be an early signal of more serious medical problems like arthritis or diabetes.
- Women have four times as many foot problems as men because they have a long history of wearing high heels and/or pointy toe shoes.
Many of the problems associated with foot mechanics can be easily fixed with orthotics.
However it is important that the orthotics which you buy are suitable for YOUR FEET.
- This is because your feet are as individual as you.
- They deserve the level of individual care that TOGS orthotics can offer.
