There have been many movies that are cowboy themed or portray life in the west, but rodeo movies that depict the real-life aspects of rodeo are diamonds in the rough. Rodeo has shaped America and has placed such a monumental influence on cowboys everywhere.
The Rodeo is one of America’s greatest pastimes and it is no secret that many songs have been written to describe the life of the rodeo cowboy, the sacrifices made, and the dangers of performing in the sport. Rodeo songs are almost as old as the rodeo itself, however, some artists have touched our lives with their renditions that depict the rodeo way of life. Some rodeo songs pump us up, some touch our hearts, and others leave us somber as they describe the obsession that often accompanies the rodeo lifestyle.

Flat feet (or posterior tibial tendon dysfunction) is a condition where the arches of the foot flatten out and cause the sole of the foot to touch the floor when standing. An estimation of 20-30% percent of the world’s population has flat feet. Although flat feet may not cause pain in the foot itself, problems may arise in the ankles, knees, and hips due to the misalignment that accompanies flat feet. Since running is a sport that requires full extension of the legs from the feet to the waist, flat feet may cause pain while running. The areas that you may feel pain caused by flat feet include the heels, ankles, knees, and lower back. Bunions are another issue that often arises with this foot type.
