When fashion models have to wear high heeled shoes for excessive amounts of time, they tend to develop painful foot disorders and deformities like bunions, neuromas, and hammertoes.
That’s where Gary Williams comes in. Known to his high-end clientele as “the Toe Whisperer,” Williams helps models treat their foot problems by correcting the bad habits they often practice in their everyday routines. He often recommends that they do certain strengthening exercises or training regiments to help prevent more injuries from cropping up in the future.
“Do they want to look fashionable for some of the time, all the time, or do you want to just want to live with the problem?" Williams said. "I can make them function but if you try to look fashionable all the time, you will pay a price. If you use your body badly, you will reap the problems that come with it over time."
A hammertoe can be an especially uncomfortable consequence of wearing improper footwear too often. If you are experiencing foot pain caused by a hammertoe, take the time to visit podiatrist Dr. Zahid Ladha of Foot First Podiatry. Dr. Ladha can diagnose your condition and provide you with a comprehensive medical opinion.
