The foot is one of the
most complicated structures in the human body yet it is often neglected
and always taken for granted. The more we exercise, the more we use
our feet and therefore the more care we should take in protecting
and looking after them.
The foot guide includes:
- An article on the structure and function of the foot - including
how the foot works during walking, as well as a look at the major
bones, muscles, tendons and other structures that fit into your
boots
- Practical advice on how to look after your feet on a day to
day basis - as well as tips for giving your feet ice and heat
treatment
- Information on common ailments - such as blisters and black
toe - how to avoid and how to deal with these conditions
- An introduction to podiatry and podiatrists, so you know what
to expect from the professionals who can help.
