Do you have or know an important other with Fibromyalgia? We're diving into the considerations that need to be accounted for around expectations for Fibromyalgia patients, what Fibromyalgia is, and how it presents within the body. Then, we discuss what success may look like for Fibromyalgia patients and 3 goals of Fibromyalgia treatment: Exercise (Low Impact Aquatic Training, Aerobic Training and Strength Training), Psychology (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Self-Efficacy, and Adherence), and Education. Let's dive in!

Let's go barefoot outside this summer! Get your feet back to their flexible function, exactly how it was from the time you were born. Time and time again, paediatric physical therapists recommend wide-toe box and zero-heel drop shoes for kids and this space and access to integrity in your feet should be experienced as adults too! We cannot talk about back and knee issues without talking about restrictions in feet and ankles. Improve your foot and ankle health and therefore everything up the chain by wearing ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VivoBareoot shoes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to improve the mobility and strength in your toes, feet, and ankles. There's one for every occasion, including weddings, hiking, a grocery walk and casual wear, or shoes for your active lifestyle. Use code '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TOB⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠' to get 15% off your ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VivoBarefoot Shoes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

**Vivo offers a 100-Day trial period. If you are not completely satisfied, you can send the shoes back and get a refund.
