You can stop stomping as you walk. And, the good news with that as your feet, ankles, knees and back will gain in strength, flexibility and pain relief. You will also walk quietly, delighting family and neighbors,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about it. When your foot lands heavily it can’t but function like a stiff block. Drop a book on the floor. See how hard it lands? That is your foot in a stomp. It is the opposite of walking quietly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our feet were designed to move between a spread-out foundational mode that helps with balance and a spring mode that moves us forward. This transformation also helps absorb force.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Feet need a healthy arch to achieve both propulsion and force absorption but that arch changes when all of your weight is on your foot! It’s supposed to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I say your muscles have a nice tone I mean they aren’t floppy or too tight. They are just able to get contracted or more flexible as needed. Plantar Fascia is also something that can be too tight and painful or give you the flexible support your foot needs. Sometimes it can be too loose or disorganized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Anything unchanging and rigid or too floppy and loose inhibits your foot’s ability to respond to the surfaces it encounters. There has to be a continuum of movement. And, wearing “good” shoes doesn’t necessarily help. Shoes can prevent pain and injury but will not always get your feet in good working order.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHealthy Muscles and the Plantar Fascia on the Underside of your Feet Help you Stop Stomping.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
