Health and Fitness Tip of the Week: Happy Feet!

Did you know that our feet take the full weight of our body? This is why it is very important to make sure they are supported. If your feet aren’t supported it can cause hip, knee and back problems.

Giving the muscles and joints in the foot a chance to rest on a regular basis is one way to support your feet. Another way to look after your feet is making sure your shoes fit properly and support the main parts of the foot.

Maintaining the foots skin and nails is very important because it can cause problems such as cracked and dry skin, athlete’s foot, verrucae, corns, fungus and ingrown toe nails. Moisturising, filing, washing regularly and clipping your toe nails can help prevent these issues from happening.
