Our feet are our foundation. It is important to understand the functions of our feet and it is often overlooked. Our feet act as sensor and send signals to our body and improve performance, supports balance, and stability. Foot health allows us to see a glimpse into your hip function and stability.
We are stuck in shoes that are affecting our foot health and make it difficult for feet to be the sensor for our environment. It can take years of dysfunction without ever feeling pain!! Start taking care of your feet now and your children's feet.
In this episode, I chat with you about why our feet matter and are important to our stability. I discuss why dysfunction happens and what you can do to better your foot health. I share with you fascinating information about how a child's foot develops, the importance of minimalist shoes, and more.
Techniques you'll learn more about in this episode:
- Single leg balance with eyes closed for 30 seconds (goal is to not use other foot or open your eyes, you can always start with eyes open and practice)
- Squats barefoot 10 reps, hold the last rep and see how it feels (think of screwing your feet into the ground and really driving through the floor as you stand)
- Spread your toes (widen your toes out as much as you can)
- Grab your feet and move toes up and down
- Lift big toe while your standing, then try and lift other toes keeping your big toe down
