Pain Points 2 – Feet and Ankles

Aug 18, 2021

Your feet and ankles are directly correlated to your entire body and it’s movement. This is true for adults and especially for athletes who run, jump, change direction and produce power.

Ground Reactive Forces – every time we take a step, our body hits the ground and the ground produces a force back through us. This is true for running, jumping, walking, etc.

If we have unstable or weak feet, then our body cannot absorb or produce force optimally. Eventually this will result in pain – knees, hips, plantar fasciitis, back pain etc.

Foot Assessment:

Perform a foot assessment as demonstrated in the video.

Foot Fix:

Mobility Stretch One – banded ankle mobility stretch with weight.
Mobility Stretch Two – slant board stretch

Strength Exercise One – anterior tibias dorsiflexion on the wall
Strength Exercise Two – banded plantar and dorsiflexion while seated
Strength Exercise Three – soleus isometric hold with single leg raises on slant board

These will strengthen your feet and ankles so that you can produce force more efficiently and reduce injury.

These items done over time will decrease pain, increase power and strength.
