The Link Between Foot Health & Back Pain Plus: Choosing the Right Shoes for Everyday Island Life Tips for Blending Island Life with Good Foot Support
• You don’t have to give up your sandals! Instead, look for options with good arch support. • If you spend a lot of time on boats or beaches, pick water-friendly shoes with good grip and structure. • Working in hospitality? Make sure your shoes have properly fitting shoes designed to counteract the effects of long hours spent standing on tile or concrete. • We have a tradition of going barefoot here in the islands, and for good reason! Just remember that hard flooring doesn’t offer the same shock absorption as our sandy beaches. The Physiotherapy Center LTD Is Here To Help If you’re struggling with back pain, we can help you get to the root of the problem–whether it’s your feet or something else. Schedule an assessment with us today to get started.
Have you been dealing with nagging back pain lately? This might surprise you, but your feet could be playing a bigger role than you think! Flip-flops, sandals, and bare feet are the go-to footwear here on the islands, but unfortunately, they often lack the support your body needs. When your feet aren’t supported (especially on hard surfaces like tile or concrete), it can affect how you walk and stand. Over time, this improper movement can stress your lower back and hips, eventually leading to pain and discomfort. Furthermore, you might struggle to maintain proper spinal alignment if you have flat feet (aka collapsed arches). This can affect your posture and place uneven pressure on your knee, hips, or lower back. Proper footwear is even more important in these cases.
