Your feet are your foundation.  Be firm in what you know, be firm in what you don't know.
Lawrence Biscontini 

Our feet are the keyboard to our brain.  How we stand sends information through the body on how the rest of our bones will connect.
When we have issues with our tissues or knees, hips, back, shoulders or neck, we need to take a look at how we are standing.  Are we balanced equally on all four points of each foot?  Are our knees lined up behind our second toe?  Are the hips aligned?  Is the rib cage centred?  Are the shoulders balanced?  Is the head set firmly between the shoulders?

Our feet are connected to the earth via the soles, they truly connect our soul to the earth.
The foot is a complex arrangement of bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons. It navigates the ground forces from below, along with the impact of all body weight from above, and translates that into a horizontal plane of motion. We tend to ignore our feet - that is until something starts to hurt.

Here is a link from the Pilates foundation with a few easy exercises to help strengthen your foundation.

My guilty pleasure is a monthly pedicure.  Having my feet pampered is my way of saying thank you for continuing to carry me along my way.
