YOUR FEET ARE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR BODY AND SERVE (3) IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS
• Support - your feet support your body when you stand, walk, or run
• Movement - they assist you in moving from one place to another
• Protection - they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging shock stress as you move.
