3-month supine position 🧠💪
Start on your back with knees bent and focus on creating and maintaining intra-abdominal pressure. Lift your legs so the knees are just above 90°, then add gentle hip extension and rotation while keeping your lumbar spine neutral against the mat.

This position helps improve core engagement, lumbar stability, and teaches you to move your hips independently from your pelvis.

Flat Feet? Knee pain? A Varus Wedges Might Be the Missing Link

If your foot caves inward when you stand, commonly referred to as overpronation, it can cause stress on your knees, hips, and even your low back.

A Varus wedge, positioned under the inside heel, aids in re-aligning the foot by repositioning the heel and keeping the Achilles tendon in a straighter north to south line. This could possibly eliminate the need for costly orthotics. By enhancing joint centration from the ground up, these simple wedges can effectively reduce knee pain and optimize hip mechanics.

Swipe to see the difference in heel alignment with and without the wedge!

Combining this concept of improving ankle positioning with a varus wedge, DNS, and McKenzie therapy will enable the foot to function in ways it hasn’t before!

If you’re looking for more ways to improve foot function or you have any questions, please send us a DM or comment below, and we’ll send you a link to our scheduling site!
