Introduction
Your feet are an extremely important part of your life because they get you around. It is easy to take for granted the important function of your feet until you injure them. Foot pain and injuries can leave you incapacitated which is frustrating. According to the Canadian Federation of Podiatric Medicine (CFPM),
“In a typical day, the average person spends about 4 hours on their feet and takes between 8,000 and 10,000 steps.”
With approximately 75% of Canadians experiencing foot health issues at some point in their lives it is important to pay attention to the cues and symptoms your feet might be sending you.
