A dysfunctional body part is never broken in isolation. You can bet that if you have a problem somewhere, it’s affecting something else too.

Some shoes are designed to be too narrow in the front, causing the toes to squeeze together and become misaligned. This can lead to painful problems like bunions. As a result, research has found that as women get older, they naturally seek out wider shoes to alleviate this discomfort. With this in mind, by selecting broader, “foot-shaped” footwear at a young age allows us to prevent numerous foot issues later in life. You can find all the naturally shaped shoes we recommend at bfs.fit #barefootshoes #bunionsurgery #barefootstrength #barefootsandals #womenshealth
Ever thought about the role your feet play in ankle stability? The four layers of foot muscles shape a prominent arch and keep the ankle aligned. Not convinced? Try this simple test. 👣 1️⃣ Place your foot on your knee and relax it completely. 2️⃣ Grab your heel and give it a wiggle. It should feel loose and relaxed. 3️⃣ Now, without changing your ankle position, flex your toes to activate your foot muscles. 4️⃣ Hold that contraction and try to wiggle your heel again. Notice the difference? That’s the power of your foot muscles in action, providing essential stability to your ankles! 💪 So, don’t forget to give your feet the attention they deserve in your fitness routine. 🏋️♂️ Stay tuned for more fitness insights and tips @barefootstrength #barefoottraining #barefootstrength #anklestability

Walking and squatting like a duck is a result of a restriction in ankle dorsiflexion. Without sufficient mobility in the ankles, the body looks for another way to unlock mobility, which is usually through toeing the feet out, overpronating, and collapsing the arch of the foot. In this way, the lost mobility in the ankle is reclaimed in the foot. But, unfortunately, this creates an issue with foot stability, which affects the foundation of the entire body. A way to overcome this issue is by devoting some time in postures that encourage and enhance the flexibility of the ankle joint, specifically in dorsiflexion. Learn more @barefootstrength
Unlike regular toe-boxes that are pointed and provide little room for toe-splay, the barefoot shoe design prioritizes toe-alignment. These wider and more "foot-shaped" shoes can be particularly helpful for bunion treatment and prevention.

All Barefoot shoes are designed to be flat (zero-drop), so that your posture is not changed when you wear them. This allows your joints to stay in their neutral position all the time. Want to take your Barefoot Strength to the next level? Join our Academy (link in bio @barefoot.strength)

If you care at all about human movement and see the value in barefoot training, then this interview with @dremilydpm will certainly rock your boat!

This study shows us exactly why strong and active foot muscles are so important for building a robust foot arch. . Program sample @exercisinghealth . . . #flatfeet #strongfeet
The more I learn about the human body, the more I am convinced that we can’t look at any one segment and disregard the rest of it. . In the example given in the video, we can see how the foot arch is affected by the function of the glutes. . So, even though the hips are 3 major joints away from the feet, they still play a crucial role in how the feet function. . The fact of the matter is that the body is a complex system which requires a broad understanding of how each part interacts and affects one another. . This holistic, all systems approach is how we at Exercising Health try to look at the body. We consider everything and take nothing for granted. . #humanmovement #humanmovementscience #exercisescience #functionaltraining #functionalanatomy #sportscience #barefootshoes #strengthandconditioning #glutegains #glutestrength #flatfeet #biomechanics #exercisinghealth
