FOOT & ANKLE

FOOT: Your foot and ankle region is subject to constant stresses which can affect other parts of your body and impact your general health and well-being. By stimulating the muscles of your lower legs and feet, you add strength, improve balance, and increase agility. A lower heel position leads to stronger legs and feet, straightens your spine, improves posture, and reduces back pain.

ANKLE: The ankle joint is one of the major weight bearing structures in the body. As a result of this function and partly due to its structure, the ankle is the most commonly injured joint. Every year, an estimated 2 million people are seen by a physician for ankle sprains, strains, and fractures. Injury to an ankle can increase the risk of re-injury to as much as 40-70%. For this reason it is important to strengthen and stretch your ankle after injury to help decrease your risk.
