Movement of the Month
Why Try It?
Want to improve foot mobility and stability?
Foot circles work the muscles surrounding the foot and ankle and support range of motion. Better foot-and-ankle control provides a stronger foundation for the knee and hip.
HOW TO DO IT:
- Lie on your back with one leg straight and the toes pulled back.
- Bring the opposite leg toward you and interlace your fingers underneath the leg, behind the knee.
- Keep your shoulders pulled back and relaxed down.
- Keeping the knee still, circle the raised foot 20 times in each direction.
- Point and flex the foot 20 times.
- Switch sides and repeat.
Move slowly and stay within a comfortable range.
Your foot doesn’t work alone. What happens at the ankle can influence how the knee, hip, and entire body move.
Align to move better.
