Why do your feet matter?

Many people describe feet as forgotten, or not a priority when there are so many other health concerns. But good foot health makes everyday life so much easier. And as well as that, it helps with those other health priorities such as keeping your heart healthy and improving your blood glucose levels. And then there’s the things you love to do, whether that is meeting up with family and friends, hobbies, or visiting places. Preventing a problem from occurring means you can get on with the things that matter worry free because you are aware of the risk and how to avoid them. 

Your feet are at the foundations of life

  • Healthy feet makes managing your whole health easier, from how positive you feel to heart health and lowering blood glucose levels

  • Healthy feet help you to stay connected to the things, people, and places that you love to see and do

  • It doesn’t take long to check your feet but it has a big impact

  • Considering footwear and all the places that you put your feet in or on can help prevent an ulcer

  • You can’t see or feel pressure building up, but like high blood pressure it can have a huge impact if left unchecked

  • Neuropathy means whatever sensation you have won’t be reliable
