How can I ease my foot pain?

Feet carry our body weight and bear the impact of every step we take. Furthermore, they play an active role in balance control, thanks to sensors located along our tendons.  Whether you’re on the bus, relaxing at home, or taking a walk while listening to your favourite podcast, take a moment to look at your feet. Believe it or not, they account for a quarter of the bones in your body. Each foot has 14 phalanges, which are the toe bones in the forefoot, 5 metatarsals and 7 tarsals at the back of the foot forming the framework around the ankle and heel. On top of that, your feet are also made up of ligaments, muscles and joints. With all this, and 7200 nerve endings, it goes without saying that the feet are highly sensitive parts of the body.  What foot problems can you encounter?
