Are you aware that each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles and tendons? Did you know that a quarter of the bones in our body are in our feet and during your life they will carry you an average of four times around the globe. The human foot is a marvel of engineering combining both mechanical complexity with structural strength and deals with enormous pressure while still providing flexibility and resilience. When one or more parts of the foot do not work properly however, they need some help or the body will compensate further up the kinetic chain in the only way it can, by crying out in pain.
