Whether we’re trying to maximize our daily steps or are avid runners, we spend a lot of time on our feet. Generally, we understand how overall posture is important for our back, knees, and shoulders, but its role for our feet is often neglected.

When we optimize our foot posture—both at rest and in movement—we can improve well-being and help prevent and manage potentially debilitating conditions like plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis, bunions, and chronic joint pain.
