Still rolling your feet forward and back?
Try going side to side instead.

Side-to-side rolling wakes up those deep foot muscles, gets your midfoot moving better, and boosts your foot’s sense of balance. It’s way more effective than just forward and back.

Rolling your feet regularly helps with plantar fasciitis, tired or stiff feet, weak arches, and ankle mobility.

Try rolling out your feet before sport to fire up your nervous system and get your feet ready for action, or after to release tension and help recovery.

Strong feet = a strong body. Don’t skip the foundation work.

Foot pain isn’t a support problem.
It’s a coordination problem.

When the foot, ankle, hip, and trunk aren’t sharing load properly, something ends up doing too much work and that’s usually where pain shows up.

Insoles can quiet things down.
They just don’t change the pattern.

If you’ve tried orthotics, stretching, rolling, or rest and you’re still stuck, there’s likely a movement issue underneath it.

If this resonates, send me a short clip of you walking barefoot and I’ll help you spot what might be driving it.

If stretching fixed plantar fasciitis, it wouldn’t be a chronic condition.

Tightness isn’t the villain.
It’s the body compensating for something it doesn’t trust.

Change the pattern → change the load → change the pain.

Your stance reflects how your system is organised.

When the feet are splayed out, it often breaks the connection between the feet and the hips.
That loss of connection means:
• less torque through the leg
• glutes not really contributing
• the foot collapsing to find stability
• an unstable big toe
• the ankle taking on extra work

Over time, that change in load sharing can show up as things like
plantar fasciitis, Achilles pain, knee issues, or bunions.

It’s not about forcing your feet straight.
It’s about restoring connection so the system can organise itself again.

When the feet and hips reconnect,
load is shared better and those tissues don’t have to work so hard.

Posture isn’t corrected.
It’s rebuilt from the ground up.

Are your feet straight or splayed?

Foot pain isn’t always a tissue problem.
Often, it’s a movement and connection problem.

For many people, pain has less to do with damage and more to do with disconnection.

One common place that shows up is reduced mobility through the midfoot. When the midfoot stiffens, the foot stops absorbing force efficiently and load gets pushed elsewhere in the system.

That’s why symptom-based approaches can help temporarily but don’t always last as they often don’t change how the foot is moving or sensing during everyday walking.

Gentle midfoot mobility and the introduction of texture aren’t a fix on their own, but they can be a useful way to restore movement, sensation, and better load sharing through the foot.

Change how the foot moves and senses,
and pain often has less reason to stick around.

For a lot of people, the missing piece in foot pain isn’t strength, flexibility, or more treatment.

It’s hidden in their gait pattern and how the foot is loading, timing, and connecting with the rest of the body during movement.

If you’re dealing with ongoing heel pain, plantar fasciitis, arch pain, Achilles pain, or foot pain that just won’t let up, there’s a good chance this is what’s being missed.

DM me a short barefoot walking clip with a bit of info about the pain you’re trying to solve, and I’ll give you some feedback.

A foots arch can look “flat” but still function beautifully.
A foots arch can look “high” but be completely unstable.

The issue isn’t shape.
It’s control, timing, and connection.

If your foot can’t adapt, load, and re-stiffen when you walk, and move then something else will compensate.

And that’s where pain shows up, along with lost force, reduced drive, and less power.

Are you lacking control?
Have you ever had your gait assessed?

Struggling with foot pain, poor balance, or feeling unsteady on your feet? It’s not just about strength—it’s about stability.
🦶🏽
Your feet are the foundation of every step, squat, and movement you make. If they aren’t stable and connected to the rest of your body, compensations creep in, leading to pain and poor movement patterns.
🦶🏽
This drill is a game-changer for building foot stability and improving balance. Do you know why?

Performance, power and pain reduction all come from how well your body manages force , not how soft the surface is.

Your body already has a built-in system to absorb force, create power, and protect joints with
hundreds of muscles, tendons and ligaments working in precise timing through the kinetic chain.

When we rely on external cushioning, we don’t just change comfort
we often reduce sensory feedback and delay stabilising muscle responses.

The result isn’t better mechanics.
It’s less efficient load handling and more compensation elsewhere.

If the goal is to:
• absorb force efficiently
• produce power
• move better
• and reduce pain long term

then the answer isn’t more padding.

It’s rebuilding the body’s internal support and cushioning system and teaching it how to function the way it was designed to.

I still have a few Virtual Movement Assessment spots available before Christmas. 🦶🏽💪🏽

If you’re sick of dealing with ongoing plantar fasciitis, heel pain, or constantly managing symptoms with stretches or orthotics, this session is designed to give you real insight into why the pain keeps coming back.

Rather than guessing, we look at how your movement and gait are loading the foot, what’s not stabilising properly, and which neuromuscular patterns need to be retrained. From there, you’ll get a clear plan for what needs to change so you can start addressing the cause, not just the symptoms.

If you’d like one of the spots, send me a message and I’ll explain how it works.

Still dealing with heel or foot pain that keeps coming back?

I’m offering a Free Movement & Gait Check to help you understand what’s really causing it (not just mask the symptoms).

I’ll personally review a short video of you walking and send you a quick voice note explaining what’s going on and what you can start doing to fix it.

Comment “Reset” below and I’ll send you the link with the simple video instructions 👇
Let’s find the cause ,not just cover the pain.

I’m starting a Case Study group this month to help active professionals and adventurers end chronic heel pain and plantar fasciitis for good without orthotics.
Get back to running, hiking, surfing and training pain-free.

We’ll rebuild your foundation from the ground up.
