Strong From the Ground Up: Why Your Feet Matter
You might not think about your feet much… until they hurt.
But even without pain, your feet play a major role in how the rest of your body functions—from balance and posture to knee, hip, and spine health. They’re your foundation, and when that foundation isn’t working well, it can throw off the entire system.
Modern Life Isn’t Foot-Friendly
Years of narrow shoes, stiff soles, and built-in “support” have done your feet no favors. These features take over the work your feet were designed to do, leaving them passive and weak instead of strong, mobile, and adaptive.
When your feet lose their natural function, the rest of your body has to pick up the slack. That compensation can show up as:
Stiff ankles
Aching knees
Tired, overworked hips
Even tightness through the spine and neck
A small change at your foundation can work its way up—affecting how you move, how you feel, and how your body functions as a whole. It’s all connected.
Rebuild Your Foundation
The good news? You can start to rebuild from the ground up.
That’s exactly why I created Back to Barefoot—a self-paced digital course designed to reconnect you with your feet and strengthen your foundation for better movement, balance, and comfort.
Inside, you’ll find:
✅ Easy-to-follow breakdowns of foot and lower leg anatomy
✅ Step-by-step guidance for transitioning to barefoot living
✅ What to look for in shoes—and what to skip
✅ Strength and mobility exercises for feet, legs, and hips
✅ Links to helpful tools, barefoot-friendly footwear, and a bonus Q&A if you join by August 6
