The Link Between Your Feet And Total Body Wellness

There was a hit song, probably from the 1940s, that went something like this – 'The ankle  bone's connected to the knee bone and the knee bone's connected to the hip bone and the hip bone's connected to the shoulder bone…etc'.  Given the writer's creative use of anatomy, he's 'spot on' about the inter-connectedness of [...]
