I have some significant foot deformities from years and years of poor shoe choices and unusual gait patterns. Being mindful of your foot position and your posture can be challenging initially, but even after a few days of completing the suggested exercises I can feel a difference in the flexibility of my feet.Amazon 5 star review wrote:My mom has suffered from foot problems for a long time and has even considered surgery. I bought her this book for Christmas and I have had no fewer than 4 phone calls thanking me, telling me how fantastic and wonderful it is. It has really helped her feet, especially the part about alignment and directing your feet correctly.Update: My mom canceled the surgery she had scheduled after reading this book and putting it into practice. Now she is teaching me.Amazon 5 star review wrote:Do you have foot pain? Bunions or hammer toes? Told you have to just “deal with it” and there’s nothing you can do? Think again! This book is smart, sassy and full of great tip and exercises. As an ultra runner, I’ve dealt with my fair share of foot pain, and finding this book and Katy’s work 3+ years ago was a game changer. I went from developing bunions that made it painful to walk, to PRing in my marathon and running 100 mile races pain free. Simple stuff, but it works. Man or woman, if you have foot pain (or want to avoid it!), this book is a must!May you find the LIFE and LOVE,Aeon
