Testimonials
Are your ankles and feet working properly? A huge factor in overall lower body mobility is based on the ability of your feet and ankles to stabilize and move properly. Here we have a few stretches to improve ankle mobility, and an exercise to improve foot stability.
Gastroc/soleus stretch against wall with rotation – For these stretches, the key is keeping the heel down and allowing the movement to come from the ankle. Whether you’re performing this stretch with the knee bent or with the leg straight, we have to remember to keep the foot planted and let the leg rotate on top of the ankle. For a more advanced stretch, try doing this on a chair or step as shown on the second part of the video!
Single leg kettlebell swap – This exercise will seriously challenge the muscles in your feet (and your core). For this exercise, you’ll want to stand barefoot on the side that you want to target. You’ll start by holding a weight on the same side as the leg you’re standing on, then slowly pass the weight to the other hand, then back again. Be sure to always keep your whole foot on the ground and be prepared to feel the burn. Beware, it’s harder than it looks.

Adjustments are a great way to help relieve tension in joints and surrounding tissues. Prolonged time spent in any position can cause built up tension. Early on in treatment of a musculoskeletal injury, adjustments will help reduce pain and tension in order to restore range of motion in the spine. When adjustments are utilized in conjunction with a personalized exercise program, pain is not only eliminated, but function is restored. A common question is “how often should I get adjusted?”. There is no definite answer to this as the frequency will vary from person to person. This is why here at F.I.T. muscle & joint clinic, we emphasize the development of a personalized plan tailored to your goals!

Runner’s knee is basically when you have worked down the cartilage behind the knee 🥺. The clinical term is called chondromalacia patellae. A good way to reduce the pain with runners’ knee or to prevent it from happening is to be sure to stretch the quadriceps which if tight, can cause excessive compression behind the knee cap. An amazing stretch for this is a modified couch stretch. Simply prop your foot up on chair, ledge or box and shift your weight forward while extending the hips. This will not only release tension in the quads but the hip flexors as well. Kiss those achy knees goodbye! 😘
