Some Facts: Did you know that 25% of the bones in your body are in your feet?
The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day and will walk 100,000 miles in their lifetime, or more than 4 trips around the world. Women have four times as many foot problems as men.fancy, ill-fitting footwear is the main reason for this.
More than 75% of people will experience foot problems in their lifetime.
Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.
TOG’s custom orthotics (available at Athenry and Clondalkin Chiropractic Clincs 091-875793, [email protected], 087-4194226) help rebalance your feet, reducing pain and discomfort by enhancing your body’s natural movements. TOG orthotics add to your general well-being no matter where your feet may take you.
