๐ฆถ Proper Footwear & Your Movement Health ๐โโ๏ธ
Choosing the right shoe can make or break your recovery and long-term joint health!
๐ We often get asked:
"Should I go barefoot style with a zero-drop shoe or grab those super cushioned Hokas?"
๐ข It depends on YOU.
Everyone's body and movement needs are different โ and the wrong shoe can lead to poor mechanics, pain, or delayed recovery.
๐ Here's a quick look:
๐ฆ Minimalist (Zero Drop, Barefoot Style)
Promotes natural foot mechanics
Encourages stronger foot muscles
Requires good ankle & calf mobility
๐ฅ Max-Cushion (Hoka Style)
Excellent for high-impact activities
Reduces joint stress short term
Great for foot sensitivity or pain
๐จ The Overlap:
Can BOTH be helpful if prescribed intentionally
Should match your activity level, injury history & gait pattern
Best chosen with a PTโs guidance!
๐ Movement starts from the ground up. Letโs get it right.
