Including the 5 foot exercises you should do every day.
Wiggle your big toe. Go on, wiggle it. While Uma Thurman might have been recovering from a far more extreme place when she delivered this line in, there’s no doubt all of our feet could do with a little more conscious movement.
“From back pain, knee pain and shin splints to plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and Morton’s neuroma. Many people simply have squashed, achy, tired, weak feet from narrow toe boxes and cushioning.”explains that “if the feet aren’t functioning well, for example if they are too flexible or too stiff or not strong enough, it can affect how well the force [of impact from the ground] travels through our bodies as we move.
A coaching session with Vivobarefoot involves a full assessment of aches and pains, injury history, balance and foot function using a plantar pressure plate, video analysis of walking and running technique – alignment, cadence, relaxation, symmetry and foot strike. You name it, they cover it, then coach you to address any imbalances, including micro-movement drills to help reconnect the mind, body and feet.
Elsewhere, for the non-barefoot approach, Kirk-Odunubi recommends visiting an independent running store for free gait analysis. “Otherwise, I suggest people go for a stable neutral shoe if they are unsure of their gait style. My go-to shoe is the UnderArmour Sonic 3 – it’s the Goldilocks of shoes, not too soft, not too firm, very responsive and light.”When it comes to treating clients, physios, running coaches and even acupuncturists will start with the feet.
