If your hip is weak it will cause more strain on the foot and ankle.
Just standing on one leg with a weak hip is often with a hip drop. Trying these tips will add to your balance efficiency.

Which is your worst side? It’s probably weakness somewhere in that lower limb.

My right leg is worse for balance. Probably from foot surgery years ago.
However, being focused and disciplined in strength training is making a big difference.

Practise what you preach Lindsey.

Achilles tendon pain is usually a chronic (hanging round for quite a few weeks), overload (too much) problem that can be annoying or really debilitating.

The name changed from tendonitis to tendinopathy. ‘Itis’ means inflammation and ‘opathy’ means a bit grotty.
The clever researchers looked at painful tendons and realised they’re not inflamed but sensitive and reactive.

Getting better includes a good diagnosis, really good advice about reducing certain activities (rarely stopping), footwear and what to do.

Strength training heavy is the key but where do you start???

Ask me?

Do you spin-out to your little toe side when you heel raise?

This way of moving can be due to a stiff big toe, an old injury or a predisposition.

The big toe is big as it’s designed to be the main propulsion or drive forwards. Power for walking, running, sport.

Changing from spin out to big toe drivers make the inner calf really burn with effort showing its underused and probably weaker.

Just a little thought for the day.

A physio should assess movements patterns that can be improved to take strain off tendons and joints. This can resolve pain and improve capability 🤓💪🤓💪👣👣👣

Do you thud on one side when you hop?
It can be quite subtle but can mean you have stiffness and /or weakness in your ankle or knee.
It may be trouble free but begin to cause problems if you increase your activity- walking, running, HIIT class, Hyrox training.

A stiff ankle will affect your gym squat and how you walk down steps and slopes.
Our bodies adapt, twist, deviate to compensate throwing stress and strain elsewhere.
Unless we find the reason why you are hurting we won’t solve the problem.
You don’t always have pain where the problem lies.

A quick check in on feeeeeet👣

Stiff big toes can be painful but just loss of good movement creates a knock on effect. Your brain will then avoid this and cause problems in your knee and hip.

Does your big toe move well enough??
