The Human Foot

Focusing on the often-overlooked importance of feet, this book highlights their critical role in human survival and activities such as running, sports, and daily work. It discusses the pressures we place on our feet through excessive loads and ill-fitting footwear, leading to a significant need for specialized care. The text also acknowledges the vast number of professionals dedicated to foot health, including podiatrists and orthopaedic surgeons, and references two foundational texts on foot anatomy from the 20th century.
