Did you know that the knee🦵undergoes significant stress on a daily basis?
It's true! As one of the most complex joints in the body, the knee requires optimal support and balance from both the hips and ankles to function effectively.

When it comes to maintaining knee health, exercises that engage the hip and ankle joints prove to be more beneficial than those solely focused on knee movement. By incorporating exercises that involve all three joints, you can enhance overall knee stability and performance.

Take a proactive approach to caring for your knees by incorporating exercises that promote hip and ankle support. Your knees will thank you for the extra attention and support! 🙌🏋️‍♀️

Educators👩🏾‍🏫we see how hard you are working to prepare for the upcoming school year! With so much on your plate, new shoes may not even be on your radar. However, it's important to keep in mind that plantar fasciitis (PF) is one of the most common foot issues among teachers, and focusing on prevention should be a priority.

Plantar fasciitis occurs when the thick band of tissue at the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed, and trust us, it’s something you definitely want to avoid! 🚫

When searching for the right pair of shoes to help prevent PF, look for these key features:
👟Support for your arch and heel—not just padding
👟A firm heel counter for stability
👟Extra rigidity in the sole and cushioning in the midfoot

If you're already experiencing foot pain, don’t wait to reach out to us! We’re here to help you identify the source of your discomfort and develop a personalized treatment plan. Plus, we’re happy to provide you with a doctor's note for school!

Let us be a part of your support system this year! Schedule an appointment with us by calling 281-364-1122. Together, we can keep you on your feet and feeling great!
