Your feet are tremendously important for all aspects of your wellbeing. Your posture, your mobility, your spine – all depend directly on how healthy your feet are.

But that is not all. Far from it. Your feet also influence your mood. Just think about how annoying it is to go through your day with aching feet. Either due to uncomfortable shoes or other causes. It can be a real downer when such a natural and important part of your day as walking or even standing becomes a painful ordeal.

And then there is the fact that the soles of your feet have pressure points that are connected to the rest of your body. Particularly your internal organs. In ancient Chinese medicine reflexology, focusing on the feet has been used for thousands of years for this specific reason.

So, it’s no exaggeration to say that you had better take good care of your feet!

Your feet are under great stress

It is easy to take things you rely on every day for granted. Not many of us remember to be thankful we can have a hot shower in the morning, or to say thank you to the coffee machine. The same goes for our bodies. Have you ever really considered how much your feet do for you on a daily basis? And how much you put them through?

When we move around, when we cook, exercise, do the shopping, basically all daily activities you can imagine that require any physical effort at all, our feet carry us. We stand on them. We walk on them. We use them to pedal our bicycles. All the time they support our weight. And absorb the pressure of our steps. Again, and again, and again.

And yet – do we appreciate them? Not as much as we should!

Your happiness depends on your feet

It is obvious that our feet are so important to our daily lives that even the smallest injury can have dire consequences. If your feet are too tender or sore to function properly, we end up severely restricted in every way.

We end up being passive. Unable to get out of the house. To do the chores we need to. To partake in the fun activities, we looked forward to.

But even so, many of us fail to look after our feet the way we should. Luckily help is at hand!
