👣 Foot pain is a delayed signal for problems in your feet! 👣
Our feet can take a lot of punishment before they reach a breaking point. Foot pain is often a very delayed signal when it comes to foot dysfunction so waiting for it to appear is a silly way of dealing with the problem, same goes for general mobility and flexibility of your joints and muscles.
Â
 Instead of waiting until your feet hurt, start taking care of your feet right now.
Step outside the modern day comforts and conveniences that are breaking us down! .
Â
 Your body has everything it needs to function optimally, remember that!
Here are some basic ways to get started:
- Spend time barefoot. Start in the house and eventually venture outdoors. This might seem simple but it is immensely powerful to feel the ground without a barrier!
- Switch to natural footwear that is wide, foot shaped, flat, flexible and has a thin sole.
- Wean yourself off your orthotics by working on your foot mobility and strength everyday (spending time barefoot does both of these). Orthotics are crutches for the feet - you shouldn’t be using them forever!
 👣 Start taking care of your feet and your feet will take care of you! 👣
