Ankle Sprains Influenced by Foot Position During Walking & Running
Have you ever sprained your ankle? Did it turn into a nagging chronic injury?
I recently came across a synopsis of a study that was published in the June online edition of the AJSM (American Journal of Sports Medicine) that shows a correlation between ankle alignment and ankle sprains. Ankle sprains are the most common sports-related injury, and many people develop chronic instability and repetitive ankle injuries.

Fantastic Feet Exercise Tip of the Week: Toe Circles
- Do You Ever Experience Foot Pain?
- Do You Ever Feel Like Your Toes Are All Jammed Together?
(especially if you’re a gal that likes to wear pointy-toed shoes!) - Do You Like To Wear Flip-Flops or Other Strapless Shoes?
- Do You Have Hammer Toes?
When our toe joints get jammed together it affects the whole foot. If the bones of our feet are too close together, the muscles and joints can’t move properly, which means our feet don’t work like they should when we walk and run. It’s all about freedom of movement! And we need good joint space to move well.
Here’s a video to demonstrate the Fantastic Feet exercise of the Week: Toe Circles!

Foot Pain Doesn’t Have To Increase in January!
Just saw this article posted online – “Foot Pain Will Increase in January!” It says that there is an increase in Foot Pain, because people are starting to get up off the couch and exercise! Oh the joys of those New Year’s resolutions. The recommendations are to start slow and get the right shoes to help avoid injury. I agree with this perspective, a good supportive shoe is helpful, but I truly believe taking a few quick minutes to do foot stretching and strengthening exercises is a critical necessity to help avoid foot pain and injury while you’re increasing your activity level. If you’re walking, running, cycling, going to aerobics class or Zumba, taking a couple of minutes before or after your workout to do a few foot specific exercises will keep your feet happy, healthy, and pain free! My favorite foot care exercises are in the book Fantastic Feet! My favorite toy to help reduce the risk of plantar fasciitis (a common foot pain problem) – Foot Savers!
Exercises for Weight Loss When Challenged with Foot Pain
I received a great question in my in-box this week about exercise for weight loss when you have foot pain. I am sure that there are other people out there with similar issues, so I thought I’d share my reply!
Here’s the Question:
I’ve had foot pain since I was a teenager, so in my weight loss journey I’ve had to do everything so far without exercise. While I’ve had great success, I’ve gained back a little of the weight. Now trying to get back on track. Are there any exercises, low key, that I can do to aid me in reaching my goals that won’t hold me back because of my foot pain?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Advice from Aliesa:
Thanks for your questions and congratulations on your weight loss success! And it’s great to know that you’re actively looking for things you can do that will keep you healthy, active, fit, and safe with a foot problem. I’ve had several clients over the years who have had major foot problems, and have still managed to stay consistent with a Pilates exercise program.

Barefoot Running and Foot Fitness
It is fantastic to see national headline news picking up stories about foot fitness and the benefits of barefoot exercise!
One of Christopher McDougall’s comments in this video clip is that he was searching for anything that might help him reduce injuries and keep on running. With a closet full of shoes that just wasn’t helping him avoid the heel pain, Achilles pain, and arch pain he was challenged with, the medical advice he received was stop running. Good advice, but not ever what somebody wants to hear if it involves giving up something that we love to do that’s supposed to be good for us.
For Christopher McDougall author of Born to Run
Watch the interview on this CNN video clip. Barefoot ultrarunner Christopher McDougall explains his inspiration for barefoot running, injury prevention, and the benefits of running without shoes.
