Foot & Ankle Strength: Your Base of Power

When was the last time you thought about your feet?

For most athletes, it's not until they feel a twinge of plantar fascia pain or roll an ankle that their feet get any attention. We spend countless hours perfecting our running form, honing our squat technique, and fine-tuning our nutrition, yet we often completely neglect the very foundation that holds us up: our feet.

As a former soccer player and half-marathon runner, I learned this the hard way. I battled frustrating injuries that could have been prevented if I'd just paid more attention to the "boring" details, like foot strength and mobility.

Your feet are your base. Every sprint, jump, squat, and change of direction starts with how well they can support you. Neglecting them is like trying to build a skyscraper on a cracked foundation—eventually, something's going to give.

At Pursuit Physical Therapy, we see it all the time. An athlete comes in with knee pain, and after a thorough evaluation, we discover the root cause is a lack of mobility in their big toe. Or a runner's chronic Achilles issue is traced back to a shoe that doesn't properly support their arch.

The little things truly matter. By being proactive about the health of your feet, you can build a more resilient base, improve your performance, and protect your entire body from injury. Don't wait until pain sidelines you—start at your foundation.

“The Learning Place” Isn’t Always New—But It’s Always Worth Visiting

Pursuit Physical Therapy embraces Dr. Becky Kennedy's concept of "The Learning Place"—the crucial transitional phase between not knowing and proficiency.

This space, often uncomfortable, is vital for building resilience and learning from experiences, both in physical therapy and life. Instead of shame when facing setbacks, The Learning Place encourages curiosity, reflection, and growth.

Even with familiar concepts like posture or pacing, true learning often involves seeing old things differently, especially after real-life experiences highlight their importance.

Being in The Learning Place requires courage and an open mind, and it's a key step forward in healing, which involves both physical and mental aspects. Pursuit Physical Therapy offers support without judgment to help individuals navigate The Learning Place and continue learning and growing.
