The question when giving or doing an exercise should always be..Why I am doing this? The answer should to improve function, to move better so you can feel better,to make sure we are moving the most Optimal way (IMS) .

So why would we scrunch a towel with our feet? What function is this improving? It’s helping to stabilize the arch… Is it though? I’ll tell you what it is doing is simple it is making you be a good towel scruncher.

So which  foot exercise is the most optimal one to do? My go to is the ‘Short foot” you can go to www. evidencebasedfitnessacademy.com  or Barefoot Strong or Naboso technology  or look up Dr. Emily Splical for more information and you tube videos

Now lets talk about the ” short foot ‘ Exercise  . The “short foot” exercise actually  not only strengthens your intrinsic Muscles(smaller muscles of the foot) , and also strengthens the arch  and we  also get optimal proprioception( There are nerves which  are superficial or in other words on the surface of you skin) which plays an important role when walking running etc. The intrinsic muscles also play an important role in foot and ankle power or optimizing power at push off.
