Common foot concerns for seniors

Our feet are designed to ensure our mobility and provide us with balance and support. When our feet are neglected, and their health is affected, it can impair our strength, posture, flexibility, and overall wellness. Many think that foot issues are a result of getting older. This is false; pain and discomfort are not normal and are not part of the aging process.
