Lesson 1

LESSON 1 OVERVIEW 

In this lesson, we start by discussing the importance of foot health and its impact on our overall well-being. We then introduce the concept of pedorthics, which focuses on the design and use of footwear to support and maintain proper foot function. Moving forward, we explore how our feet were originally meant to walk on soft, natural surfaces that provided natural support to the arches. However, with the shift to walking on hardened surfaces like concrete and marble, our feet have lost this essential support, leading to a variety of health challenges. This lesson highlights the need to understand our foot structure and the importance of proper support in maintaining overall body health.
