(More customer reviews)After many years of foot issues, I had gone through several different, very expensive trials of custom-made inserts, cushioned and supportive shoes, daily exercises, etc. I read this book (very quick read), did what he said--including gradually going barefoot, which was against all the advice I had received elsewhere--and was stunned to discover that my feet, after almost 50 years of over-correction, were fine--they just needed to be strengthened--because they had been coddled for years! Following Maffetone's advice made my feet strong. I remember getting a foot massage from my husband after several months on the Maffetone protocol, and he told me my feet had gone from shark cartilage (no support, no muscle) to feeling like real feet. I used to only be able to wear extremely specific shoes, couldn't stand for very long, and couldn't walk without pain. That is all behind me, and it's been about four years of bliss. Thank you, Philip Maffetone! P.S. I am barefoot as I write this!

World renowned kinesiologistPhilip Maffetone has for more than a quarter century been a student and proponent of a holistic approach to health that at its center is starkly simple. Take his approach to foot care, for example:Our feet are our foundation and are vital components to maintaining overall health. Poor foot and ankle function set the stage for improper movement of knees, hips, and spine. Adjusting your gait to accommodate a sore Achilles tendon or a stiff ankle, for example, will almost inevitably lead to a misaligned and painful back. Even for a healthy foot, popular sport and dress shoes often disturb the delicate natural balance our feet strive to attain. Despite this, feet are one of the most neglect parts of our bodies--out of sight, out of mind.FIX YOUR FEET is for anyone-not just athletes-who has ever suffered from foot pain or dysfunction and its resulting aftereffects. It provides a concise and clearly written explanation of anatomy basics, then shows how to assess and treat foot and ankle problems, beginning with methods to restore proper biomechanics and restore muscle balance.And once your feet are repaired FIX YOUR FEET shows how to maintain their health by making simple adjustment and ejecting old habits, including how to find shoes that best match the foot. It's the next best thing to having a personal therapist at your beck and call.
