The splayed feet, internal heel collapse, and knee buckling that we often see are caused by excessive foot valgus. Foot valgus not only affects the posture when walking, but also affects the posture when walking. It can lead to a variety of injuries to the feet and the lower half of our bodies.
Foot valgus is often accompanied by flat feet and scaphoid collapse. The eversion range refers to the angle of inward rotation of our feet from the initial landing to the beginning of kicking. Our normal rotation angle should be between five and twenty-five degrees. When walking, the eversion range is too high. The assembly causes wear and tear on the inside of the ankle joint and the inside of the knee joint, which may worsen flat feet and make our feet more susceptible to fatigue and pain. It is also more likely to cause plantar fascia strain, bone spurs and other symptoms.
We can do the following actions to improve our eversion when walking.
The first action is to grab the towel with your toes. Using your toes to grab the towel is to enhance the strength of our ankle joints. With the strength, we can better protect the joints when we land. We first sit on a stool, then put the soles of our feet on the ground covered with a towel, then push our toes downward, grab the towel and then release it, and continue to practice repeatedly.
The second action is the self-weight heel raise. This action is also to enhance the strength of the ankle joint. First put the forefoot on the ground, let our heel part hang in the air, and then lift it up at the high point. Hold for two seconds before lowering, allowing the calf muscles to feel the eccentric contraction and point the toes forward. You can extend your arms to maintain balance and move slower, so that you can better train your muscles.
The third action is to bandage the feet. This is to increase the strength of the ankle joint and improve our stability. Take an elastic band and tie it to the sole of your forefoot, straighten it upward, and then press the sole of your foot downward, repeating this action back and forth.
The fourth action is to resist internal rotation of the elastic band. This action is to combat pronation of the foot. We first tie the fixed elastic band to the instep of the front foot and let the foot put pressure in the opposite position. , just train repeatedly in this way.
