How many hours do you spend sitting each day? 🤔

Most people don't realize that prolonged sitting can affect blood circulation in the legs and feet. Over time, poor circulation may contribute to swelling, leg fatigue, varicose veins, and other discomforts.

The good news is that improving circulation doesn't always require major lifestyle changes. Simple habits such as standing up every 30 minutes, stretching your legs, avoiding crossing your legs for extended periods, and wearing compression socks can help keep blood moving efficiently.

Your feet and legs work hard for you every day. Give them the movement and support they need to stay healthy. ❤️

🚶♂️ Have you ever tried walking backwards?

While it may feel a little unusual at first, walking backwards can offer some surprising benefits for your body! 👣

✅ Helps improve balance and coordination
✅ Activates different muscles in your legs and feet
✅ Reduces stress on certain joints compared to forward walking
✅ Can improve posture and body awareness
✅ Challenges your brain and enhances focus

Start slowly in a safe, open area and always be aware of your surroundings. Even a few minutes of backward walking can be a great addition to your daily movement routine!

Sometimes the simplest things are the most beneficial for our health. 👣

Allowing children to safely go barefoot can help strengthen the muscles in their feet, improve balance, and support natural movement patterns. Bare feet also connect us to the ground beneath us, helping kids become more aware of how their bodies move and feel.

Encourage your kids to explore safe surfaces like grass, sand, or soft ground and notice the sensation beneath their feet. Small habits like this can support healthy development in a natural way. 🌱

When we stop moving, our bodies feel it. Blood pressure, blood sugar, stress levels, and energy can all be affected by a lack of exercise.

If you’ve fallen out of your routine, don’t be discouraged. Getting back into movement doesn’t have to be extreme.

Start where you are:
✔️ Stretching
✔️ Yoga
✔️ Walking
✔️ Light movement

Consistency is more important than perfection. The goal is simply to keep moving forward. 👣

Our 30th Annual Shoe Drive is officially here!

It is hard to believe that this marks 30 years of serving and giving back to our community through our shoe drive. What started as a simple mission to help those in need has grown into something so much bigger because of the incredible support from our patients, staff, volunteers, local businesses, and community members.

Over the years, together we have helped donate over 100,000 pairs of shoes to individuals and families in need. Every pair donated represents comfort, dignity, hope, and kindness.

We truly could not continue this mission year after year without all of your support. Whether you donate shoes, volunteer your time, contribute financially, or simply help spread the word — every act of generosity makes a difference and helps us continue our mission of “No Shoeless Person in the World.”

📍 Drop-off Location:
701 E 28th St #111
Long Beach, CA 90806

📅 Donation Period:
May – September 2026

If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please call our office. Thank you again for being part of this journey with us and for helping us make a difference for 30 incredible years. ❤️
