Fun Foot Fact Friday β Forster & Gloucester
Your heel and toes take the highest pressure every time you walk. The heel absorbs shock when your foot hits the ground
The toes help you balance and push forward
As we get older, natural changes in fat padding, joint mobility, and foot strength can make the heel or toes more sensitive β especially with everyday walking, gardening, or staying active in our local community.
When to get checked
Heel or toe pain lasting more than 2β3 weeks
First-step pain in the morning
Pain affecting your walking, balance, or confidence
Discomfort stopping you from enjoying walks, bowls, or daily activities
Early assessment can help keep you active, steady, and independent.
