into a sort of foot glove.

Take Care of Your Feet

are all tough activities on one part of your body: your feet.\nFoot
pain is quite common and people normally see a Podiatrist to treat
more severe foot problems.\nHowever, better foot care can prevent
many of these problems. You don’t necessarily
need to do much for [...]
Obese kids’ feet found to be flatter and fatter
It’s known that obese children tend to have
“flatter†feet than their
normal-weight peers, but it has been unclear whether that reflects
a potential problem in the foot’s bone
structure or simply extra fat padding. A new study suggests that
it’s both. In general, people with
“flat feet†have a lowered arch at
the inside of the foot, such that if they wet their feet and stood
on a flat surface, they would leave a complete footprint. All
babies and toddlers have flat feet, with the arch developing during
childhood; obese children are more likely than their thinner peers
to retain a flat foot—as measured by footprint
in studiesâ€R...
Painted Piggies
I’ve been neglectful. I’m
uber-low maintenance about many things, but once
it’s flip-flop season, I typically do a
good job of keeping paint on my toenails. This year
I’ve been slow to start…
much to the dismay of anyone who has had to see my bland, boring
toes. The lovely Julie at Peanut Gallery…Exit
Here made last week’s Mom N Me Monday be all
about hers and her daughter’s toes. She had
tons of cute feet shots, and not only were hers painted, but her
daughter’s were, too. Honestly, this made me
feel like a total slacker. I hadn’t gotten my
act together to paint my own toes, and now I had to consider that I
was doing a disservice to both of my daughters as well. Shame,
shame on me. I started a thread in my Blog Frog community about
painted piggies to gau...
Do your Feet Make Your Back or Knees Hurt? Orthotics May Help!
The body is an amazing machine, designed so that all of its parts
work together to achieve movement, digestion, thought processes and
basic life as we know it. When one part of the body is not
functioning at its optimal level the repercussions are felt in
other locations. For example if you have one knee that is weak, the
hip, back, other knee and leg take on the responsibility of making
up for that weakness. Many times you do not feel these changes
immediately because your body is made to keep functioning, even if
it has to change the way it does things. Walking differently, or
putting more weight on one leg constantly can cause posture
changes, which can affect your entire spine and even cause
headaches. Odd isn\'t it, that your knee could cause you to have a
headache? This is because ou...
