Tune into optimal health where DocJen and Dr Dom dive into the Foot and Ankle! DocJen and Dr. Dom dive into the potential causes of foot and ankle pain, the role of footwear in foot health and the best exercises to help optimize that foot-ankle complex. By providing your solution with exercises, they discuss the relevance of mobility and strength to build awareness and resilience.
Something that can surprisingly affect the health of our hamstrings is what we wear on our feet. It challenges the whole back-side chain to work through its full range of motion.
