New Year, New Work Out, New Shoes

For many women, the New Year marks a time to get a new fitness plan.  Here at the Advanced Footcare Clinic, we encourage our patients to keep up with a regular fitness plan to keep you healthy and feeling great.  But did you know that regular exercise and stretching will help keep your feet healthy?  Stretching the muscles of the feet can help to aleviate pain in your foot muscles.  While targeted exercises and stretching will prevent your muscles from tightening, the proper footwear will prevent injury to your feet while you exercise.
