ON YOUR FEET ALL DAY

I had a request to discuss this topic a long time ago from one of our clinic's attendees in London. He had a job requiring all day staying on his feet and had lots of problems due to such overloading. It is not just about feet, but also knees, hips and low back, but for now we'll talk only of feet problems. It is obvious that staying a long day on your feet has negative consequences.

STEVE IRWIN 1962-2006

This news shocked me to the depth of my heart and soul in the morning of September 4, 2006. It was the first news I got on the Internet. Crocodile Hunter, the incredible Ausie, Steve Irwin, is gone forever. He was only 44 and could have a long life ahead with his mission of wild life conservation. He was a real man with his own mission in life, it was his destiny, as I can see it now. Was it a freak accident or something beyond our understanding? We can only guess now. It left us with all our thoughts...
