Your feet- the hardest working part of your body

Over the course of an average day, the feet are subjected to weight loads equal to several hundred tonnes. With all this, anything can go wrong, writes DR MARGA BOYANI

A quarter of all your bones are in your feet. Each foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles and this is not counting the 12 leg muscles that connect each foot to the rest of the body.
