Did you know … important foot facts?
May is Foot Health Awareness Month, an excellent time of year to focus on the importance of your feet.
Each foot contains 26 bones held in position by hundreds of ligaments, tendons and muscles, making it an extraordinarily intricate mechanism. Despite taking a great amount of force each day, the foot acts as an amazingly versatile and complex set of shock absorbers that protect the body with every step. Therefore it is important that everyone take good care of their feet.
After all, you only have one pair of feet to last a lifetime.
