Of
all the things we take for granted in life top of the
list must surely be our feet.Research has shown that
9 out of 10 people will have problems with their feet
before they are 30, but only 1 in 10 will visit a Chiropodist
/ Podiatrist.

Our
feet help us balance, and carry us 5 times around the Earth
during a lifetime; in return, we rarely give them the attention
they deserve, hiding them away in ill-fitting shoes and forgetting
about them... until they rebel.
Along
with our eyes and hands, your feet do most work then most
part of your body, so it is little wonder that things sometimes
go wrong, our feet are also the mirror of our health. Signs
of diabetes, arthritis, circulatory and neurological diseases,
often appear first in the feet.
Not
all foot complaints are caused by corn and calluses. The human
foot consists of 33 joints, 28 bones bound together by ligaments,
supported by muscles and supplied with blood vessels and nerves.
It is therefore subject to considerable strain and injury.
Foot
health begins in childhood; your children's feet must carry
them for a lifetime.
