Precision Movement's video: 6 Intrinsic Foot Muscle Strengthening Exercises Fix Pain Flat Feet

Foot muscle strength exercises build the foundation for pain-free knees, hips, and ankles. These exercises eliminate foot and ankle pain while correcting flat feet. Most people think of the medial longitudinal arch as the arch of the foot. But there’s also the lateral longitudinal arch and the transverse arch. The intrinsic muscles creating all three arches work together to absorb force and create elastic energy. But when they fall asleep? You start seeing issues like plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, calf strain, shin splints, and tibialis posterior tendonitis. Coach E will walk you through six foot exercises and incorporate them into three fundamental movement patterns: the squat, the hinge, and the lunge. If you remember anything from this video, keep the cue that you don’t curl your toes for the Short and Skinny Foot exercise. You’ll integrate this exercise into so many other ankle, knee, and hip routines. If these exercises activate some sleepy muscles for you, hit those like, subscribe, and notify buttons. We’re releasing new content nearly every week, so you can keep (and even restart) doing the things you love freely and without pain.
