Putting Your Best Feet Forward: A Guide to Feet Care (Paperback or Softback)

Your feet form the foundation for everything you do. This book gives a comprehensive education on everything you need to know about the care and wellness of your feet from inside your body and out. It looks at the effects of inflammation, arthritis, stiff ankles, balance, posture, and other factors that contribute to the positive and negative functioning of our feet. A lot is written from first-hand experience.

Did you know that how you eat contributes greatly to your feet wellness? Or that the strength of your core has a direct impact of how you walk? This book also looks at the many external things you can do for the benefit of your feet from reflexology, exercises, easy at-home pedicure treatments including soaks and exfoliation scrubs. It also focuses on joint mobility training.

Your feet age less than any other body part so why not use that to your advantage? Feet wellness does affect your self-esteem. It affected mine for many years. My weird gate, strange looking feet, etc. As a person who has suffered with many feet-related issues for most of his life, the research and writing of this book has been a labor of love. I suspect there are others who could benefit from all the work that went into this project. Feet wellness is serious business. Don't neglect them.
