Midfoot Stance

About This Move

This move strengthens your foot’s ability to splay and absorb shock.

Think of a trampoline that descends to absorb the weight of your bounce. Your feet need to be able to do that.

Your foot is composed of 33 joints. Those 33 joints need to move and change shape as you walk.

Your feet need to be able to:

  1. Lift into a rigid arch that propels you forward

  2. Spread out wide and long to absorb shock

Your feet need to move back and forth from arched to splayed, up and down, rigid and flexible, over and over, changing shape and function with every step you take.

Exercise Prescription

Hold the Midfoot Stance for 30 - 60 seconds on each foot.

Repeat for 2 or 3 rounds each foot.
