Whether it’s wobbling in a lunge, struggling to stand on one leg, or feeling unsure on uneven ground, balance issues become more common as we age.

But here’s the good news: you’re not stuck with it. And it’s not just “part of getting older.”

If you’ve ever experienced foot pain—especially something like plantar fasciitis—you might be surprised to learn that the real issue could be your ankles.

Yep. Not your shoes. Not your arches. Your ankles.

Let’s talk about toes. Not the most glamorous part of the body—but absolutely essential when it comes to movement and stability.

One of the most common things I notice when working with clients who struggle with balance? Their big toe isn’t doing its job.

I thought it was just a stubbed toe—painful, yes, but no big deal. But it led to limping, a locked up anke and lunges were off the table.
Who knew such a small injury could cause such a chain reaction?
If you’ve ever ignored a “minor” injury… this one’s for you.
