🦶 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Your feet contain nearly 8,000 nerves, which is why they are so ticklish! This sensitivity is important for balance and protection, as it helps your body react quickly to changes in surfaces or potential danger.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we remind our students that even simple facts like this highlight the incredible design of the feet. Understanding sensitivity and nerve health is especially important for conditions such as diabetes, where nerve damage can go unnoticed.

💡 Feet are fascinating – and they tell us more about overall health than you might imagine.

🦶 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Your arches act like natural shock absorbers, carrying up to three times your body weight when you walk or run. Without strong, healthy arches, everyday activities can lead to pain in the feet, knees and even the back.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach our students to assess arch function, recognise problems like flat feet or high arches, and support patients with the right advice and treatment.

💡 Healthy arches are the foundation of mobility. Looking after them helps protect your whole body.

🦶 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Walking barefoot on natural ground like grass, sand or soil can help strengthen the small muscles in your feet and improve balance. This practice, often called “grounding”, can also reduce stress, and promote a sense of wellbeing.
At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we remind our students that foot health is not only about treatment but also about prevention and lifestyle choices. Understanding how everyday habits affect the feet helps practitioners give better advice and improve patient outcomes.

💡 Small changes in daily routines can make a big difference to long-term foot health.
