Synopsis

This book will empower you to get your feet functioning as they should do, without any medical intervention. Includes a four-week plan of quick-and-easy exercises to get your feet back into shape, plus solutions for specific foot issues, from plantar fasciitis to fallen arches.

The book offers an easy-to-follow four-week program of routines that take just fifteen minutes a day during the program and allows listeners to fix their feet and take ownership of their body. Each of the four weeks focuses on a different part of the foot: the heel, the arch, the ball, and the toes. There are three to four exercises in each section and readers try them all and can choose to focus on those exercises in each section that they enjoy most. This program is then supported with mindful foot practices to ensure bad habits don't return. Six common foot problems are also explored, including their causes (specific incorrect walking patterns) and ways of preventing and relieving them (exercises plus mindful practices). You won't find any medical concepts or terminology in this book, nor do you need to learn complicated foot anatomy. The whole program is based on what you already know: walking. You'll learn how to walk and stand correctly and to use every part of your feet as nature intended. That's all you need to do!

Goodreads review by Zee on May 23, 2022

Took all of the 4 weeks recommended in the book to follow the program, and though I didn't have foot issues per se prior to starting the exercises, I can see and feel a huge difference in my stance, the way I walk, the speed I can walk and run and how I don't fall flat every other time during yoga a......more

I think there is some good information in this book but I found it difficult to put into practice because of all the jumping around of references to earlier and later material in the book. Maybe I will try again in the future, but for now I am setting this aside.......more
