Hi Alex,
I agree that these shoes can cause problems and are not ideal but from speaking to many of my female clients who wear heels, they wear them because they want to...
...they want to look "better", it goes with their outfit, etc etc
From a visual point of view, it does lengthen the leg.
Therefore, as long as there are women who are interested in how they appear to other people (and let's not forget that archaeologists have dug up combs along with stone tools), then we need to assess and make sure that they can walk in heels optimally.
BTW, what is a facilitated Achilles Tendon?

[B]My Philosophy:[/B]
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: Article: High Heels - A blessing from God or a curse?
I meant to say that with continual use of high heels, the calf muscle shortens and there can be pain when the individual uses a smaller heel in the future.
I am a believer in the choice of the individual to wear heels and against job descriptions that require them to do so.
