Our balance system develops over time, through trial and error. 👣 Basically, we get up and fall down over and over and over again until we figure out the right balance strategy to remain stable while sitting, standing or moving. . When we’re young and small, the errors we make are not a big issue - when we fall down, we might suffer a scrape or a bruise but we tend to be able to shake it off and try again. . When we’re older and bigger, a hard fall can be seriously injurious and even fatal depending on how, and onto what surface, we fall. . The rates of sports injuries in young athletic populations and falls in the elderly population are both consistently climbing. . Yet most people don’t train their balance consistently, until after they have a fall or injury and they have been given balance exercises as part of a rehab program. . The problem is, our modern lifestyles and environments don’t challenge us anywhere near enough - everywhere we go, there are chairs to sit in and flat, level ground to walk on. . Not to mention the crazy modern shoes that completely disrupt the relationship between our feet and the ground. . This is a major reason why it’s so important that we create a regular balance training practice in our lives. . It makes no sense to just wait for our balance system to deteriorate enough for us to sustain some kind of injury before we train it - why not just get started now? 👣 If you’re ready to rewire your body from the ground up and get out of pain, head to the HealthKit link in our bio. #thefootcollective #flatfeet #plantarfasciitis #strongfeet #painfree #simple #shoes #42days #buniones #arch #process #tool #journey #restore #naturalfootfunction #community #together #learn #commitment #solution #healthkit
