With all this talk on bones and joints in the latest Friday foot facts, I thought I would introduce you to the 4 main arches of the foot. Arches help support the body's weight and they provide flexibility for shock absorption.

Arches are also what determines if you have high arches or flat feet. If you have one of these, your feet will have different problems because of these arches but they can also affect different parts of the body too.
A flat foot can lead to knee pains right up to your hips and back. Meanwhile a high arch can lead to stress fractures. It's important to go see a foot specialist when you have these problems, wearing shoes that properly fit you and being aware of how your feet can impact your life in the long run.
Thank you for reading, have a great weekend and remember to put your best foot forward!
