This week I have introduced you to the second video in my Foot Series for Foot Awareness Month starting in April. In this video, I give you facts about falls, facts about the feet and how they age, and five things you can start today to prevent falls. You can see the full video here. Fall prevention is going to be a growing focus and you can start to prepare to have your strongest and most balanced body...now...starting with your feet.
Next week I will be going over basic foot care, I will have a tutorial to make your own foot scrub, give yourself a foot bath and deep moisturizing foot wrap and then teach you something special that will lead us into the following week on foot massage. You won't want to miss that one for sure. Your feet are really going to love you, so make sure you have subscribed and clicked on the bell to receive notification for when I upload my new videos.
How are your feet doing? Do you know where you are distributing your weight? Are your "dogs" barking at you (as a young woman called her feet during our conversation the other day)?
One of my clients came in this week and brought me a bag of her shoes from the past four years that we have been working together. I was amazed and thrilled to see the changes in the wear of her soles given the corrective posture work we have done over the past four years. It was fantastic to be able to point each of the areas out to her, and as a result, she has an increased awareness of how her own body is shifting, balancing and strengthening. I am hoping that you will be able to do the same through these videos and interactions in the comment section.
Speaking of the comment section, if you are able, now that I figured out how to re-engage the comment section, send me a comment and a photo of the soles of your shoes. What have you noticed? If you have no idea what I am referring to, you can check that video out here. Let me know! If you wanted to send a comment on a previous blog post, try again and see if it will go through. You can always email me if you have any trouble trying to make a comment.
I have started a community for The Posture Specialist. You can visit it here to become a part of this wellness, posture and pain management community.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Lastly, if you are having challenges with your balance or you have had issues with falling, please let me know. I want to make sure to consider integrating various needs into my videos so that the material is truly applicable for everyone.
