Look down at your foot. You can't see much that reveals the shape and placement of its twenty-six bones. Some of the bones are as small as the beans in a beanbag, but their arrangement is anything but random. Each has its own job it do and its own place in space. Over a period of time when the feet are used incorrectly to support weight, some of the bones shift out of alignment.
