Rescue Your Feet - the Foundation for Whole-Body Movement Goals
Your whole-body wellness journey starts at the foot!
A comprehensive course outlining the foundation for your Whole Body movement goals from the foot to the hip and pelvis.
Why start with feet?
Foot function depends on the mobility of 33 joints and a large proportion of the body's musculature. Your whole body and its various systems depend on the foot and its continued health. Your wellness journey starts here.
People come to my studio for many reasons and different goals and they all start with their feet! If your motivation is for more or better movement and increased function, the foot is literally the foundation of your body and the starting point to reach any movement goal.
Tension residing in the foot and lower leg affects everything above; the forces that come from a stiff posterior lower leg can throw the top of the body forward (known as acceleration) resulting in forward head, neck and shoulder issues, even headaches! You might be surprised at what benefits you will experience once you start moving your feet.
There is a reason this is the first course I wanted to create: it's truly the starting point to a wellness journey and might be among the most important information I can provide. Optimising your foot function can also improve the functioning of other joints and muscles in the body.
"All the material was in a brilliant and logical order...There are so many details that are flawlessly doled out like following bread crumbs on the path. The presentation is not overwhelming and the pace is one of calm curiosity. This course could be called a million reasons true dorsiflexion is important! Everything seems to 'hinge' on it!"
Restorative Exercise Teacher
This course offers both immediate relief techniques and exercises for long-term benefits. Consistent practice is key, akin to any exercise program. Over time, expect better foot health and additional perks such as increased mobility and improved knee and hip health.
All fitness levels can join with provided modifications. You can start seated before progressing to standing exercises. Equipment like a foam half dome and massage balls are optional and affordable. Barefoot or socked feet are best for the exercises. The course consists of about three hours of video content and supplementary reading material.
Plan to dedicate around one month to complete the course, focusing on one section per week. I highly recommend revisiting the material periodically; consider reviewing it annually, perhaps during the off-season, to prepare for increased walking or hiking. With each viewing, you'll gain deeper insights. The course is available for unlimited viewing at your convenience.
"I didn't spend a lot of time thinking about my feet until I had an issue and experienced just how critical feet are to quality of life. This course is an eye-opener to learning about this very important, but often overlooked, topic. The content provided is top notch and covers everything you need to know about your feet from the biomechanical details of how the foot works, to the exercises that will help improve foot mobility (demonstrated clearly in videos, no expensive equipment required), to the practical tips about how to build optimal foot habits into your everyday life. Carol's breadth of knowledge and passion for this topic make for a valuable, fascinating journey of learning about your feet and what you can do to optimize your foot health. "

"“I think most of us take our feet for granted, however, our feet receive much of the daily impact of life which carries up our body. Carol is incredibly knowledgeable about feet, their functionality and how to optimize their health. I was able to correct my foot placement when walking which has resulted in the disappearance of years of hip pain. How our foot strikes goes right up the entire column of the body. I am grateful for her guidance and plan revisit the program so I can create a new routine for myself with her foot exercises.”
