The Human Foot
is a marvel of engineering, combining 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments all interlinked by a network of muscles, nerves and blood vessels.  Feet take daily pounding of 10,000 steps, achieving a total of 150,000 miles in a lifetime.  And each step applies two to four times your body weight to those 26 bones and 33 joints in each foot.  Is there any surprise why our feet and ankles are susceptible to pain and injury?  Longer life spans, active lifestyles and the workplace have imposed new and greater demands on our feet.  The above recommendations will help keep your feet in the best possible health.
