Loving My Aging Feet
Foot pain affects 1 in 4 adults after age 45, and it's disabling in two-thirds of those cases. Foot pain in older adults increases the risk of recurrent falls. As feet get older, they lose some of their strength and springiness. Feet tend to spread and lose the fatty pads that cushion them. This does not mean that feet should become painful as they get older. However, it does mean adjusting to support your feet. Join the webinar to learn more.
