Starting from the bottom and working our way up ☝🏼Ankle Stabilization. These simple exercises are a great addition to the Arch Support video posted last week! START by making a straight line to the front of your ankle. Stand in front of a mirror and rise to your toes. Ensure your ankles are stay in a straight line as you rise up and down. Try these for 10-15x, then hold for 10-15 seconds. Rest for 30 by shaking them ankles out. Repeat for a second time, and rest again for another 30 Seconds. 🤸🏼‍♀️

Arches: Perhaps the most important structural feature of our body is our feet which bare the stress each mile we walk; absorbing the brunt of the pressure our bodies thrust upon our feet with ever stride.
Wearing improper footwear with not enough arch support or cushioning can lead to fallen arches (flat feet) and even plantar fasciitis. The muscles supporting the arches of our feet become fatigued and weakened causing pain and lack support. IN THIS VIDEO: You can see how my arches fallen due to poor footwear. This happened to you? Try these stretches & exercises .... 1. Sit on your feet in flexion, spread them toes :) hold for 30 sec 2. Downward dog, with alternating feet, great for a full posterior leg stretch. 3. Use a longer towel then the one shown here, do not lift your heel off the ground, and pull the towel inward until you’ve pulled the entire towel. Repeat if necessary 4. Towel toe scrunches. This can be difficult at first, but once you get going it gets easier. Pull the towel towards you only using your toes, pull until you have completed the full towel. You can add a weight on the end of the towel of each exercise to increase the difficulty. 🦶🏻
