IS EXCESS BODY WEIGHT CAUSING FOOT PAIN?
| 
Is being overweight causing you foot pain? Can you not exercise because your feet hurt too much? Sound familiar? Your feet bear the weight of your entire body so it should come to no surprise that carrying around extra body weight will have a profound effect on your feet.
Don't give up! You may just need the right athletic shoes combined with the right weight loss tools to get you back on your feet and moving again.
How Does Extra Weight Affect My Feet?
A large percentage of adults are overweight or obese. Even carrying around an extra 25 pounds adds stress to your feet. The extra weight can dramatically change the way your foot functions and may lead to the following foot conditions:
- Plantar Fasciitis or Tendonitis: These are the most common foot conditions caused from being over weight. When an excess amount of weight is forced upon your feet, it will cause the tendons/ligaments to be overused causing injury and inflammation.
- Collapsing Arches: Added body weight causes muscles, tendons, and ligaments, which are the supporting structures in your feet, to become stretched and weakened. If not protected, these will begin to break down over time. This can lead to pain in your feet, cause over pronation and lead to other problems such as pain in your knees and hips.
Other effects from carrying extra body weight on your musculoskeletal system include changes in your posture, changes in your gait (steps may become shorter), knee pain, hip pain, stress fractures, ball of foot pain or arthritis.

START 2011 ON THE RIGHT FOOT
|  It is 2011, which means it's time to forget the previous year and put aside all the bad habits you incurred in 2010. It's time for you to get mobile, work on your wellness and take steps to improve your foot health.
Remember, just because you joined a gym and decided to change your diet, doesn't mean you've made all the necessary changes to reach your ultimate goal. You still have to think about foot health and what type of shoes and foot care products you should invest in. Also, when it comes to foot health, please don't just think about what type of shoes you're going to wear when your exercise - instead think about what type of shoes you're going to wear for all occasions. Having great foot health can really make the difference when achieving overall body health and wellness.
