How we walk can have a massive impact on the way we operate and the chronic pain we live with. We don’t often think about the environment we are creating for our feet and how that can affect the rest of our bodies. It’s hard to notice the connections between chronic foot and joint pain, but it changes your daily life.
Luckily, I have my colleague Seleisa Duddy to talk about her podiatry practice and the changes you can make in your life that will optimize your walking mechanics to keep you in shape longer. She walks us through choosing the right type of shoe for your foot and some little things you can do to correct painful habits.
Listen in and learn about how you can get rid of your chronic pain and make your body last longer by focusing on the feet.
