It has many important muscles, tendons, ligaments and vessels, nerve structure around the bones and joints as well as around the foot and ankle. While walking, 2-3 times our body weight, 7 feet on our feet while running.
These two important extensions, which provide the contact of the human surface with the surface of the earth, take the burden of the whole life. Therefore, a variety of disorders can occur due to wear and deformations over time even without a disease in the feet.
