Introduction
The average human takes between 3,000 and 5,000 steps everyday. In addition, many of us are engaged in activities, such as running and aerobic exercise, that add many more steps, as well as stress to our poor, overworked feet. Is it any wonder then why many people have aches and pains in their feet? Components such as flat feet or over-pronated feet, individual walking and running style, and the type of shoe a person wears can determine if someone will develop foot and ankle pain.
