Feet are the foundation of everything you do. While you might think that runners, soccer players, or jumping athletes would benefit most from foot strength, it is important for everyone to have strong feet. Think about it this way- if you’re standing, running, or jumping, you need to have a solid foundation! In this month’s blog we tell you 3 reasons why you need to focus on making your feet strong.

Your feet are the first contact point to the ground so it’s important to provide the correct support. Without diving too much into an anatomy lesson, people either have high arches or low arches or somewhere in between. These arches can also be rigid or flexible determined during an assessment with your Physical Therapist. This is where excellent quality shoes and orthotics are helpful! Never skimp on anything that separates you from the floor! I’ve learned this the hard way wearing cheap shoes with no support and sleeping on an Amazon mattress during college. Today Dr. Jason dives into the benefits of orthotics and 3 reasons why they may be necessary for you.
