“Your feet are the foundation of your body.” A normal foot functions much as a tire on a car to assure a smooth, safe ride and acts as a shock absorber on various terrains.  If the foot or tire wears on one side or develops irregularities, that ride can become uneven, and eventually unpleasant – the entire body, or car can go out of alignment.

If the foot fails to function adequately, other parts of the body, such as shins, knees, hips and lower back have to take up the slack, and this added stress would eventually result in early wear and tear to their joints.
