BBC Radio Scotland - Personal Best, Happy Feet

Personal Best is on a quest for healthier, happier feet!

They are stuck at the end of your body, usually in socks and shoes, but just how much thought do you give to your feet? Personal Best is on a quest for healthier, happier feet!

They're stuck at the end of your body - usually encased in socks and shoes - but just how much thought do you give to your feet? Love them or loathe them, Gillian Russell is on a mission to find out if they get the attention they deserve? 

Not so much the psychiatrist's couch but the podiatrist's chair ... Gillian (absolutely not a foot-lover!) reluctantly removes her socks and visits podiatrist Lindsay McKerrow to find out just what we can do to have happier, healthier feet.

Enthusiastic walkers from the walking group Step Up Highland describe what they do to take care of their feet.

If you're a runner, how much time do you spend thinking about your trainers? Run For It manager Ryan McKenzie gets Gillian running on the treadmill for some gait analysis and describes what to take into account when you're purchasing running shoes.

Not to be outdone, Richard Forbes is also taking his socks off! He tries out a reflexology session and hears from reflexologist Shenagh Leiper about what it can be useful for.
