When my grandmother was in her late eighties and her annual appointment with our family doctor loomed, she always made sure she was wearing slip-on shoes, the easier to display her feet and so begin their conversation about her current state of well being and quality of life. Taking care of our feet through exercise and bodymind health practices is paramount if we want to be as autonomous as possible as we age. In spite of the vital importance of foot care, I’ve met many people who hate their feet, don’t like to touch them, and cram them into shoes that do not fit because they believe style is more important than foot mobility and comfort. We may be able to get away with a little foot abuse when we are young, but as we age, our feet become more and more important to our overall well being. Tapping to overcome our feet prejudices and even podophobia, an intense fear of feet, helps us to positively relate to our feet and increase our well being as we age.
