Foot Pain & Weight Loss

Do your feet hurt? Does your physician tell you to lose weight? Do you ask yourself, how can I exercise if my feet hurt? It’s difficult to lose weight when your feet hurt, but excess weight can cause foot pain. So what do you do when foot pain is preventing you from exercising and losing weight?

Being overweight or obese changes the way the foot functions. Forces on the foot increase dramatically when you carry extra weight. Steps are shorter, the feet are turned out more, and flattening of the foot is increased significantly. Patients who are overweight have generally higher rates of plantar fascitis (heel pain), tendonitis, arthritis, metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of your foot), fractures and sprains of the feet and ankles.

Remember: Your feet are NOT supposed to hurt!
