Ever wondered the effects of high heels on your feet and body? Often painstakingly selected to complete outfits, high heels put stress not just on feet, but on ankles, knees and backs, contributing to the approximately $3.5 billion spent annually in the United States for women’s foot surgeries, which cause them to lose 15 million work days yearly.

“I have been very pleased with my physio rehab experience at Main Street Physiotherapy Clinic. Aart has exceeded my expectations as a competent and knowledgeable physiotherapist. His easy going manner makes for a pleasant and relaxed feeling during his sessions with me. I am confident his method of treating my foot injury will result in a speedy recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend Aart and Main Street Physiotherapy Clinic as the “go-to” place for treatment.”
