It\u2019s so natural we rarely, if ever, think about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The act of taking a step happens so effortlessly because our feet have been expertly designed. Our feet are made up of <strong>26 bones, 19 muscles, 10 tendons, 107 ligaments, and 33 joints that all go to work when we step<\/strong> forward, to the side, or backwards. And our feet work hard; they are a firm foundation for our body, supporting its entire weight <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> carrying it when we move. Thanks to our legs\u2019 trusty appendages, we can stand, walk, run, skip, and jump. Our feet absorb the shock of these movements and ensure a smooth landing when we take a leap. All that, and our feet are home to the strongest tendon in our body: the Achilles tendon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We demand a lot of our feet, which is why they are <strong>prone to aches, pains, cramps, and inflammation.<\/strong> To help you keep your feet at the top of their game, we\u2019ve created a routine of easy-to-follow foot stretches that relieve pain.
