Synopsis

This book is driven by experience gained by working in the field of podiatric science from author David Tollafield working with the Institute of Podiatrists – now their recommended foundation book for foot health practitioners.

The foot is an exciting organ in that it has a complex structure that many who practice medicine often fail to appreciate how the foot works. Readers will be keen to learn more about the medical side of foot disease. Having more than a school student's knowledge of anatomy is important. Patients often come armed with material from the internet. It, therefore, behoves anyone practising within the sphere of foot practice to know about the nuts and bolts. The internet might be a wonderful resource, but determining fact from fiction, quality advice from a sales pitch, and joining up the connections is not always clear.


"Having just finished the first year, I know what it’s like trying to get to grips with anatomy and biomechanics, and I think your book will be hugely beneficial to not only students but practising podiatrists as well." Student University of Southampton.

As Albert Einstein commented once, “If you cannot explain something simply you do not understand it well enough.” I thought this book did just that and explained difficult concepts in a clear and insightful manner. Felix Kilmartin, student University of Ulster, Northern Ireland (2023)
