The foot is a very complex part of your body.
Your foot has twenty-six separate bones which are held in position
by dozens of ligaments, tendons, and muscles. The bones and muscles
form three separate arches that support the weight of your body.
These arches are not rigid. They provide the flexibility and
leverage to walk. As you raise your foot to take a step, joints lock
so you have the leverage to push your body forward. When you lower
your foot to the ground, the joints then unlock. This locking and
unlocking of the joints allows you to walk on any surface, whether
it be as sandy beach, golf course, or a concrete sidewalk. Your foot
is a shock absorber, it protects your muscles and skeletal system
each time you take a step.
The structure of your foot supports your entire weight. The
slightest misalignment of muscles and bones can cause many different
problems.
