Foot Mirror

Have you ever seen your feet from below? Here, you can view your feet in a mirror and examine how you stand – it may be important for your wellbeing in the rest of your body. Are the loads on your two feet equal? What happens when you stand on one leg?

Physiotherapists often investigate how a patient’s feet are placed under load. This can be easily seen in, for example, a foot mirror. The part of the sole that is most heavily loaded becomes white after a short period. Stand barefoot on the mirror and see the shape of your foot arch and the way you load the toes. Compare what you see when you stand on one leg or two.
