The foot is a complex structure composed of bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. They bear and propel the weight of the body during walking and running, and help to maintain balance during changes in body position. It is not surprising that at some point you may experience foot pain. The cause of most foot pain are shoes that do not fit properly. High-heeled shoes can create problems in the toes and the balls of the feet. Wearing flip-flops or shoes with no support can also create foot pain. Plantar fasciitis can be a result of overuse of high-impact exercise and sports and poorly fitting shoes. Besides supportive footwear and getting insoles and orthotics when needed, a Foot Reflexology session can help. Taking good care of the feet, through regular reflexology treatments, exercise, proper footwear, foot care, and hygiene will contribute to keeping the foot strong and healthy.
