Join Chris Furer and K-Lea Gifford on Sunday, August 31, for a 2-hour foot workshop! The feet are the foundation of our skeleton and play a critical role in our posture and movement habits. Lack of mobility and stability in the feet can, and most likely will, end up causing problems for the joints above them. Due to improper footwear and the lack of challenging surfaces and terrain, the feet are not exposed to environments that keep them supple, strong and healthy. The arches in our feet, which are critical for healthy biomechanics in the knees, hips and spine, may begin to collapse, and form a sort of internal collapse. The ability to connect to our pelvic floor and core is very much linked to the support of our foot arches. If our feet lose their mobility and strength, we become vulnerable to foot disorders such as plantar fasciitis, sprained ankles, bunions, shin splints and neuromas. Many therapists look at the feet as a critical contributory factor in lower back pain. For all-level practitioners with some previous experience.
