Show Notes Chapter Markers

After your first few months learning to walk, the only times most people think about their feet are when they're buying shoes or when they hurt themselves.

The feet and ankles are extremely complex structures - they hav to be, because they're responsible for supporting your entire body weight while moving and adapting to changes of direction and different terrains. But in a complex system, there's a lot of things that can go wrong.

This episode includes:

  • a layperson's guide to some of the basic physiology of the feet and ankles
  •  common injuries and what you can do to avoid them
  • tips for staying healthy and regaining healthy function after injury (or just years of neglect)
