Feet First Approach

​

With every step you take, ground reaction forces travel from the foot, through the ankle, up to the knee then to the hips and spine.    If your foot is unable to deal with these forces, everything up the chain will have to adjust to make up for this weakness.  Symptoms of a poor foot strength and or mobility restrictions will manifest as “tight” muscles, sore knees, as well as painful hips and low back.  Often pain will result as our bodies struggle to deal with forces that would normally be distributed across several joints rather than directed to a single joint.

 

Furthermore, every step you take requires balancing on one leg 40% of the time yet most of my clients come to me unable to stand on one leg with any control.  Poor balance is a system problem.  Our bodies have to work in a cohesive way to keep us upright but any weak links will circumvent our natural abilities and lead to problems with balance.

 

At Wise Works Fitness, I focus on building my clients from the ground up.  Starting at the foot and working towards the hips resolves many problems my clients face on a daily basis.   If you feel unstable, have muscular pain, struggle to get up from the ground, feel uneasy on uneven terrain, or just struggle to tie your shoes, I can help.

 

My program is designed to recognize weaknesses that are holding you back.   If you want to increase your ability to move your body through space effortlessly, at any age, my Advanced integrated fitness approach can help.
