👣 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Many young children go through a phase of walking on their tiptoes as they learn to balance and explore the world around them. In most cases, toe walking is completely normal, and children grow out of it by the age of two or three as their muscles and coordination develop.

However, if toe walking continues beyond early childhood, it can sometimes be linked to tight calf muscles, neurological conditions, or simply a habitual walking pattern that needs gentle correction.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach students how to recognise when toe walking is part of normal development and when it might require further assessment or referral.

💡 Every step tells a story, especially in growing feet.

🦶 Fun Foot Fact Friday

Did you know?

Keeping your feet warm at night can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy better-quality rest.
When your feet are comfortably warm, the blood vessels expand, a process called vasodilation, which signals to your brain that it’s time to relax and sleep. Cold feet, on the other hand, can make it harder to drift off.

At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we know that foot health affects much more than just mobility. From circulation and comfort to posture and rest, healthy feet contribute to overall well-being.

💡 Looking after your feet means looking after your whole body, even while you sleep.

👣 Fun Foot Fact Friday
Did you know?

Your feet are constantly sending messages to your brain, helping you balance and move safely even when you are not looking at them.
This sense is called proprioception, and it allows your body to understand where it is in space. Every step, stretch and shift of weight is guided by thousands of nerve receptors in your feet working together with your brain.
At The College of Foot Health Practitioners, we teach students to understand how foot function connects to posture, balance, and movement. Recognising when this communication is disrupted can help prevent falls and improve patients’ confidence and independence.

💡 Healthy feet keep you grounded, quite literally.
