Keep On Your Feet
The Foot, Ankle & Gait Clinic
The Keep On Your Feet Blog
The Keep On Your Feet Blog is written by the clinic's owner, Jeremy Ousey and aims to cover the questions that you want the answer to, but don't really fit anywhere specific on the clinic's site.
I have a huge amount of articles in the pipeline, covering things like how to deal with chronic pain, why feet hurt when you get out of bed, what do orthotics to and so much more. The most important thing for me when choosing topics to talk about is that I answer the questions you have... so if you have a burning question that I haven't yet answered, email me at office@keeponyourfeet.co.uk.
