π¦ΆπΌI have been doing my homework! Just like I ask of all of you! π¦ΆπΌ
Strong, flexible feet are crucial for overall movement, posture, and physical performance. They serve as the foundation for your entire body and affect everything from balance and stability to pain management and athletic ability.
I know I bang on about this! But read onβ¦

π¦Ά Importance of Strong, Flexible Feet
1. Foundation for Movement
β’ Your feet support your entire body weight and are the first point of contact with the ground in almost every movement.
β’ Strong feet absorb and distribute force more effectively, reducing stress on ankles, knees, hips, and the lower back.
2. Improved Balance and Stability
β’ Flexible and strong intrinsic foot muscles improve proprioception (your sense of position in space), which is key for balance.
β’ Essential for activities like running, jumping, lifting, yoga, martial arts, or even walking on uneven terrain.
3. Injury Prevention
β’ Weak or stiff feet can lead to issues like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, knee pain, Achilles tendinopathy, and even hip or lower back problems.
β’ Strengthening the feet helps prevent these by promoting better mechanics up the kinetic chain.
4. Better Posture and Alignment
β’ Your foot posture (e.g. flat feet or high arches) affects how your knees and hips align.
β’ Healthy, functional feet help maintain proper posture during standing and movement.
5. Enhanced Athletic Performance
β’ Strong feet generate more force for pushing off, sprinting, and cutting movements.
β’ Flexibility allows for smoother transitions and efficient energy transfer during dynamic activities.
6. Longevity and Daily Comfort
β’ Maintaining foot strength and mobility helps preserve independence and mobility as you age.
β’ Less likelihood of joint degeneration, falls, or chronic foot pain later in life.

Mums!
We know here at F&F how hard the first few weeks and months of being a mother can be. There's zero time to take care of yourself, despite your body having gone through a huge event, regardless of how you give birth.
Then there is the whole issue of nourishing this baby. Do we breastfeed or bottle feed? Both choices have some strong demands on a parents body.
Lets not forget these little new humans. They've spent the last nine months all cosy and warm. Birth can sometimes be traumatic for the babies too.
Our Osteopaths have undergone further training in the treatment of pre and postnatal mothers, breastfeeding support and paediatric treatments. We can help with these early days to get both Mum and Baby on track to a happy sleep filled peaceful start.
