As spring peeks its head around the corner, people all over are ready to get back outside.  Morning jogs and evening walks are among some of the favorite ways to enjoy the spring weather.  With many people looking to exercise and enjoy the fresh air, running is a great place to start.

Maybe you are one of those looking to start up running.  You’ve planned out your routine, dusted off your old running shoes, and have determined that you will be a runner.  Or maybe you’ve decided to start off with simple walks.  Either way, YOU ARE READY.  The first week isn’t bad, in fact it's kind of enjoyable.  Week two starts and that’s when you realize that you have aches and pains all over.  Your hips hurt, your legs ache, and your shins have splints. But above all your feet hurt, so you give yourself a few days break.  Those few days turn into weeks, and those weeks turn into a busy schedule where you forget all about your determination to be a runner, all because of the aches and pains. And it’s not just the athletes either that this happens too.  People in every profession in all walks of life have foot problems, and most of us just accept it as part of everyday life - but that doesn’t have to be the case!

Those aches and pains can all be traced back to one place.  Your feet, and how well they are supported.  According to Orthopedic Associates, 25% of all the bones in your body are in your feet.  Without the proper support, your feet will go out of alignment and with them your whole body. 

Here are some interesting facts about your feet.  How many of them can you identify with?

1. Sixty million Americans or 25% of the U.S. population have flat feet.
2. Plantar fasciitis affects about 10% of the US population.
3. Approximately 20% of the population in the US has high arches.
4. The average adult takes 4,000 to 6,000 steps a day.
