Feet for life month campaign 2014 is set to raise awareness of obesity and feet

As international concern regarding obesity remains high, the College of Podiatry has made this the theme of Feet for Life Month for June 2014.

With obesity rising in the UK, the implications of obesity on general health are vast.

Feet bear the brunt of weight in every stride.

Feet for life month aim to create awareness of the link between weight and feet.

The impact of this is often unrecognised, and therefore the campaign over the summer will highlight how being overweight or obese puts you at a greater risk of developing serious conditions.

It will also highlight how common foot problems in people who are overweight or obese, affect movement, and impact on walking and exercise.

Let your Podiatrist help you if you have any foot problems or painful feet.
