13.01.2022 HOW IMPORTANT IS POSTURE ? So we know how important toes are for the sake of balance - but do you know what role the posture of your entire foot plays in keeping you stable and upright ? Quite simply, your foot posture determines how effectively your weight is distributed, and if it's lacking, you're opening the door to all kinds of trouble with pain and discomfort later on -which is why it's so important to foster good posture ! Did you know that standing still is far mo...re tiring than walking ? This is because you only use a few muscles when you're still, where as walking distributes the burden of movement over many more muscles and increases circulation. #widebaypodiatry #weareallinthistogether #footfacts #friyay #footcare #fostergoodposture #posture #standingstill
