National Podiatry Day falls on October 8th every year. It was established as a way to show appreciation and thanks for Podiatrists. It’s a way to bring awareness to Podiatry so that more people can learn how to care for their feet. It also encourages those who may have avoided seeing a podiatrist to seek help.

We know that not everyone gets excited about check-ups or treatment, the big chair isn’t our favourite place to be either! But without our feet, we wouldn’t be able to do many of the day to day things we do without a second thought. Not only do they aid our movement and keep us upright, but the health of our feet can even indicate how healthy we are in other parts of our body. Foot health is a considerable issue that everyone should be aware of. International Podiatry Day is about making sure that everyone knows just how essential it is to look after our feet.

The day is focused on raising awareness about foot health for everyone, from the general public to government bodies and health professionals. The health of our feet can give us a good indication of our general health and even offer warning signs for several illnesses, as well as being closely linked to certain conditions.

The International Federation of Podiatrists is behind International Podiatry Day. The federation has existed since 1947 as a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing podiatry worldwide. It has 26 member countries sharing research, practice and knowledge between them.

International Podiatry Day replaced another event that used to be held earlier in the year. The event is now a modern celebration that uses social media campaigns to raise awareness. The aim of the International Federation of Podiatrists is to make it the biggest event with a focus on worldwide foot health.

The main aim of celebrating International Podiatry Day is spreading awareness about the importance of foot health. If you are ready to get involved, you can do whatever you please to spread the word about podiatry. Of course, it’s essential that you educate yourself first so that you can pass on the things that you learn.
