The foot and ankle complex is extremely important to the overall function of the human body. Unfortunately, it is the most ignored part of our daily fitness routines. We pay attention to our diet, our cardiac health, neck, shoulders, abs, hips, and legs but where is the daily effort to make the ankles and feet work when we walk, run, or play sports?

No one pays any attention to their feet. We cover them up in high heels, snappy socks, brogues, Oxfords, all kinds of boots, loafers, moccasins, and even sandals. However, foot pain makes us painfully aware of our feet and just how important they are. Foot pain is special – it’s about all you can concentrate on because it hurts with every step. That pain often forces us to sit down and consider our options for getting around…and there aren’t many.
