Mike loves feet, and I'm talking, really really loves feet. We figured we should direct his obsession to some foot education so for the past few weeks we launched our #FootFetishFridays 

Below are the first few movements of what will continue to be a series of foot and ankle movements to help strengthen your feet and improve balance.

Check out the first few movements below and give them a go. Tag us in your posts and hashtag #FootFetishFridays for a repost!

GROUNDED 4 CORNERS 

View this post on Instagram

#footfetishfriday - A new study suggests that balance is directly related to brain health @backbayhealth. Can you balance on one foot for one minute? Swipe ➡️ for the “grounded 4 corners” exercise to help activate those pretty feet of yours. Lift the toes, stay tall, keep the chest up and circle your body in both directions trying to maintain 3 points of contact with floor (heel, outer ball, and big toe) . . . . . . . #ditchyourshoes #footpain #foot #foothealth #barefoot #naural #functional #posture #balance #painfree #movement #healthyfeet #mobility #movementismedicine #boston #americanmade #balancetraining
