What kind of moves are we talking about?
Our movements contain muscle lengthening stretches with alignment and joint positioning to help maximize the muscles and bones in the foot. They are created to help you support your own body weight properly and use no additional weights or machines for strengthening. You'll discover how to really use your feet the way they are intended to be used.
Each movement affects the whole body, so as you properly move your feet, your knees, hips, and your back will all improve as well. Because these movements are gentle, there is no risk of going "too far" or doing the moves too many times. Through regular practice of these stretches and movements, you'll find many common foot and other problems disappear.
