The shoes we wear can influence our entire body—and the wrong pair can quietly set off a chain reaction of discomfort, triggering pain in your back, hips, knees, and more. 👟

“Every time we walk, our feet need to be able to change shape,” says physical therapist Otto Lam. The heel should strike first, the foot should roll forward, and the toes should spread before pushing off—but the wrong shoe can disrupt this sequence.

Archaeologists uncovering the burial of a woman from Egypt’s 21st Dynasty were stunned to find something beyond ritual artifacts or golden relics. Bound to a mummified foot was a prosthetic toe, carved from wood, stitched with fine leather cords, and shaped with astonishing anatomical precision. At over 3,000 years old, it predates modern prosthetics by millennia—yet rivals them in both design and functionality.

What makes this discovery especially baffling is not just its age, but its biomechanical sophistication. The wooden toe isn’t a symbolic appendage—it was engineered to allow walking, complete with a bend at the joint and comfort pads for balance. CT scans revealed wear marks suggesting the woman actually used it, daily. But how could ancient artisans possess such ergonomic knowledge, centuries before the scientific revolution?

Hælsmerter? Da er denne verdt å lese🧐

Plantar Fasciitis is the most common cause of foot and heel pain and many people who develop this condition suffer for much longer than they should.
