ankle/foot

We interact with the ground through our ankles and feet, which means they take a lot of beating throughout the day. Proper mobility of the many joints in the foot and adequate strength/control will decrease your chances of dealing with foot pain, knee pain, achilles tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis.

Muscles prone to tightness:

  1. Gastrocnemius (calf)

  2. Soleus

Muscles prone to weakness:

  1. Tibialis anterior

  2. Peroneals

  3. Toe Extensors
