Our feet are crucial to keeping us active and healthy. When something goes wrong with our feet our whole body has to deal with it and often it has a domino effect all the way up the body Since we take thousands of steps each day we need to take better care of this foundational part of our body. The feet have 200,000 neurons per foot, 26 bones, 33 joints and 4 layers of muscle and since we spend most of our time in shoes we have weakened our feet This clinic will go over care for our feet and learn ways to strengthen them for a better foundation for all that we do in sport and everyday life.

Our feet are crucial to keeping us active and healthy When something goes wrong with our feet our whole body has to deal with it and often it has a domino effect all the way up the body Since we take thousands of steps each day we need to take better care of this foundational part of our body. The feet have 200,000 neurons per foot, 26 bones, 33 joints and 4 layers of muscle and since we spend most of our time in shoes we have weakened our feet. This clinic will go over care for our feet and learn ways to strengthen them for a better foundation for all that we do in sport and everyday life. Drop-in rate: $12/$15.
