Fix Your Feet: Build the Best Foundation for Healthy and Pain-Free Knees, Hips, and Spine

Our feet are our foundation and are vital components to maintaining overall health. Poor foot and ankle function set the stage for improper movement of knees, hips and spine. Adjusting your gait to accommodate a sore Achilles tendon or a stiff ankle, for example, will almost inevitably lead to a misaligned and painful back. Even for a healthy foot, popular sport and dress shoes often disturb the delicate natural balance our feet strive to attain. Despite this, feet are one of the most neglected parts of our bodies-out of sight, out of mind. "Fix Your Feet" is for anyone - not just athletes - who has ever suffered from foot pain or dysfunction and its resulting after-effects. It provides a concise and clearly written explanation of anatomy basics, then shows how to assess and treat foot and ankle problems, beginning with methods to restore proper biomechanics and muscle balance. And once your feet are repaired, "Fix Your Feet" shows how to maintain their health by making simple adjustment and ejecting old habits, including how to find shoes that best match the foot.
