Most people believe that balance begins at the foot, from the arch, the sole, and the grip under the shoe. However, balance actually starts one joint higher—at the ankles.
Your ankles are the body’s first responders, reacting before your foot lands, before your knee tightens, and even before your brain has time to process the information.
Your ankles: tilt, rotate, stabilize, correct. All in a split second. That’s how you stay upright on uneven sidewalks, icy patches, and awkward steps. |
