Happy Hands
Our hands get stressed through every day activity and can feel really stiff and achy. Even though we are increasing our activity levels and thinking about our health and well-being, we do still tend to neglect our hands and our feet!
Mobility
Happy Feet
We are usually on our feet a lot throughout the day, even if just around the house, never mind activities such as walking, dancing or running. We squeeze our feet into trainers, boots and high heeled shoes and often tend to neglect the well-being of our feet and hands.
