Ep. 125 Are you using your Tripod Foot?
In this episode, we explore the critical connection between foot stability—specifically the tripod foot—and hip stability. Discover how the way you distribute weight through your feet impacts which muscles you recruit, from your glutes to your quads, and how it can influence your overall movement and pain.
Through real-life examples, this episode was inspired. Like a patient whose persistent hip pain was traced back to excessive foot pronation, we discuss why muscle activation starts at the ground. We also delve into the benefits of barefoot training for improving awareness of your foot’s position and maintaining three points of contact on the floor.
Whether you’re dealing with discomfort or looking to optimize your movement, this episode reveals why paying attention to your feet is key to building stability and strength from the ground up.
