    Re: High Heels - A blessing from God or a curse?

    Thanks Fyzzio and thomasng90

    I am wondering if we give high heels a bad name and pre-judge them without actually assessing whether or not they are ok for the patient.

    For example, i have noticed that people with flat feet have a natural arch when walking on their toes...

    ...or some women have a very good posture awareness and their posture is fine with high heeled shoes on and when flat footed.

    I think it all needs assessment.

    Fyzzio, i like your refreshing answers! Very practical, very truthful and very real! But as a guy, can you tell me why women love them and why they feel so good in them?

    The goal of physiotherapy is to restore optimum function - that is to move freely and maintain positions without causing damage either now or in the future. This requires the assessment and restoration of efficient load transfer throughout the whole body.

    Re: High Heels - A blessing from God or a curse?

    Thanks, Antony!

    My honest answer: "I have absolutely no idea!"

    Don't know what it is with those high heels and I am rather tall, so am not wearing them very often - but when I do, I love it.

    There is also to consider that there are so many different kinds of high heels. Some are two inches high, some 4 inches. Wedges are easier to manage than pin points. And then there is people who just cannot walk in them and look utterly ridiculous no matter how high there heels are.

    I guess, it is a matter of fun and somehow pre-setting the state of mind you are in , like getting into that Porsche or lightening a candle before you have dinner.

    Maybe you should try wearing them.

    Cheers,
    Fyzzio
