Running Foot Health: Self Assessment

Running Foot Health: Self Assessment

While your overall running technique (posture, cadence etc...) dictates where and how the foot lands, and therefore the loading experienced, your foot and ankle biomechanics and proprioception determine how effectively this loading occurs.

Poor biomechanics and proprioception around the foot and ankle can result in unwanted compensatory movements. These compensatory movements often lead to injury with time and repetition.
