Our feet are shock absorbers containing over 26 bones, 33 joints, and 5 tendons and are able to cushion one million pounds of continuous pressure during only 1 hour of exercise. While running and walking, our feet support 1.5 times our bodyweight and therefore, it is no surprise that sometimes, we experience foot pain.
The summertime with it brings an incredible amount of opportunity for outdoor activity, which may mean occassional accidents but did you know that the leading causing back pain is poor posture or that an improper walking form leads to painful foot conditions like plantar fasciitis?
The summer is one of the best times to be outside because of all the outdoor sports someone can do. This includes hiking, kayaking, biking, playing sports, or just walking around in the summer sun for leisure. Unfortunately, our body's sometimes get worn out and minor or major injuries occur. One of the best things that you can do is seek out treatment so that a minor injur doesn't become major or a major injury doesn't effect you for the rest of your life.
An ankle sprain is one of the world’s most common injuries. It is the ankle that is responsibe to balance the body’s weight while we constantly move around . Sometimes, a mis step takes the ankle by surprise and one twists or rolls their ankle causing the ligament, tendon, and blood vessels to damage.
