Importance of Lateral Arch in Foot Strength
The lateral arch of the foot, located on the outside edge, is a crucial foundation for proper movement. Strengthening this arch helps improve balance and stability. By standing on a cylindrical surface or river rock and extending the toes without curling them, individuals can enhance the strength of the lateral arch. This promotes healthy movement patterns and reduces the risk of pain and injury.
