Our feet are an amazing feat of design engineering. Interestingly, a quarter of the bones in our body are to be found in our feet (amounting to 52). These act like shock absorbers and during the average person’s life time, will travel a distance equivalent to four times around our planet earth. For the majority of people, however one’s feet are often relegated and given the minimum of attention.

There is an old expression “The eyes are the window to the soul”, some have said “..the feet are a window to one’s general health..”. Simply put, the foot exists furthest away from the heart, so naturally our circulatory systems will be least effective in our feet when serious health problems arise, as nutrients and oxygen in the blood struggle to get to our vital organs and tissue.

A Foot Health Professional may be able to identify early signs of significant health problems in their day to day contact with clients.

It follows that daily attention to one’s feet is important for all age groups. With more mature members of the population this will ensure individuals remain active and mobile for longer.
