Foot and Ankle Strengthening
Our feet are the foundation for the rest of the body & can take a high amount of load during the day. Our feet need to provide shock absorption when we land, stable us on one leg for walking/running and help us to propel forward with each step.
Every tissue in the body (muscle, tendon, bone, fascia, ligament) has a certain capacity. If we apply a load that is greater than the tissues capacity, then there is a risk of injury or pain.
Improving our foot and ankle strength and capacity is key to preventing injury.
Active health can prescribe foot & ankle exercises to improve your capacity to deal with these loads that we apply to our feet daily.
