The Australian Podiatry Association has put together the following interesting points that you may not have known about your feet:

A quarter of all the body’s bones are in the feet (There are 52 bones in a pair of feet).
The average child will take its first steps around 13-17 months - but between 10 and 18 months falls within the “normal” range.
During the first year ...

May 24-30 is National Chiropractic Care week, this year the focus of NCCW is "which posture are you?".

Postural imbalance also compresses your in...

Too many Australians are turning to painkillers for a short term fix and failing to recognise the importance exercise, diet and posture in reducing on-going pain, according to research undertaken by the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (CAA). The independent research, commissioned for National Chiropractic Care Week 2009 (May 18-24) found that 45% of Australians choose to take a painkiller, which have no long-term benefit for back pain sufferers.

The health of your feet can affect the biomechanics of the whole body, particularly the lower limbs and low back. The natural motion of the foot is to roll inward (pronate) after making contact with the ground. Pronation allows the foot to adapt to the contour of the ground and act as a shock absorber for the body. Too much pronation will cause the arch of the foot to flatten excessively, placing stress and pressure on the tissues and ligaments of the foot.Over-pronation can lead to numerous ...

This month I thought I would focus on some gluten free recipes as there seems to be a growing need for that sort of thing. Most recipes that contain flour can be adjusted to gluten free by using potato, rice, besan, maize flour and others. If you are gluten intolerant you’ve no doubt checked into them all already. There are who major drawbacks when using gluten free products; firstly they are more expensive than standard wheat based products. The other problem is the flours all lack the star...
