Footloose: How to Mobilize and Strengthen Your Feet

Free your feet of socks and shoes! A quarter of all the muscles and motor nerves in our body are dedicated to our feet, so let’s take care of them! Strong and mobile feet allow us to stay balanced and walk efficiently, and they can protect against ankle, knee, hip, and lower back pain.

We’ll make the feet feel amazing with mobilization and gentle stretching, then we’ll do exercises to strengthen the foot and ankle muscles. Please bring a hand towel and ball for class (tennis ball, Pinky ball, racquetball are suitable). We’ll also discuss ways we can take care of our hard-working feet with proper footwear, mobilization, and daily strengthening exercises.
