Why Your Feet Hurt From Standing but Not From Walking

Why do your feet hurt after standing all day, when hours of walking leave them feeling fine? Your foot is not a support but a mechanism built for distance, and standing still switches the machine off while keeping the full load on it. You will learn what the twenty six bones in each foot are for, how the arch and the cord at the back of the ankle work as springs, and why our ancestors gave up a grasping big toe. The video looks at ancient footprints preserved in ash and mud, explains the calf pump that returns blood, why held tension wears tissue out, how people once rested low on the ground, why hard flat floors add strain, and a simple test to try yourself.
