Your feet are your trusty companions, carrying you through every step of your journey in life.

From your first wobbly steps as a toddler to your confident stride as an adult, they’ve been with you all the way.

But are you taking care of them the way they deserve? Here are three simple tips to help you keep your feet happy and healthy:

1. Stretch and massage your feet regularly. Just like any other muscle in your body, your feet need to be stretched and massaged to stay supple and strong. Try rolling a tennis ball under your foot or using a foot roller to soothe tired muscles and improve circulation.

2. Consider using toe spacers. Toe spacers are a great way to improve the alignment of your toes and prevent issues like bunions, plantar fasciitis, and hammertoes. They work by gently stretching the muscles and ligaments in your toes, which can become tight and cramped over time. You can use toe spacers while you’re relaxing at home or even while you’re wearing shoes.

3. Opt for shoes that allow your feet to move naturally. Many conventional shoes restrict the natural movement of your feet and can lead to issues like flat feet, arch pain, and plantar fasciitis. Shoes that allow your feet to move and function naturally can help improve your overall foot health and prevent injury.

Remember, your feet are your foundation. Take care of them, and they’ll take care of you.

New block of classes starting next week, a few spaces available in Thursday 6.30 pm and Monday 11.30 am classes. Contact me on 07928 674733.

Paddy’s experience of Pilates is pretty similar to most who give it a try. It’s very different to what is expected. “Stretching.” “Lying on your back on a mat.” “Sitting crossed legged, breathing.” All things I hear often. All a million miles from the truth! What’s your thoughts on Pilates? Whether you have ever practiced or not? Do you think like Paddy did before his class? Let me know below!

High heels force body weight forward which puts up to 90% of your whole body weight on the metatarsals

Despite significant foot health and posture consequences It’s still very common today for woman to wear these shoes throughout the day

Fashion vs function - choose fashion and wave the function goodbye 👋🏻 No wonder bunions are found more commonly with women
