Our goal is to empower you with natural, sustainable solutions to regain movement freedom.
Learn about common conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, Achilles tendinopathy, and more, and explore actionable steps you can take to restore your natural movement and prevent future pain, discomfort and injury.
BUNIONS
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe, often caused by prolonged pressure or wearing narrow shoes.
Bunions are common in adults, particularly women, and can lead to significant discomfort and mobility issues if left untreated.
Discover natural solutions to help alleviate bunion pain and correct foot alignment with our step-by-step guides and expert insights.
PLANTAR FASCIITIS
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, affecting millions of people worldwide.
It occurs when the thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot becomes inflamed, often due to overuse or poor footwear.
Common in runners and those who spend long periods on their feet, plantar fasciitis can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the heel, especially first thing in the morning.

FLAT FEET
Many people have been told that they have ‘flat feet’ and that this means they are destined to be riddled with pain and dysfunction unless they constantly support their arches with footwear and orthoses.
Well it turns out that this is a myth and that the vast majority of cases of ‘flat feet’ are really just a variation of normal and are no cause for concern.
That being said, regardless of your arch profile (low/neutral/high) while standing still, your feet should have the ability to pronate and supinate with coordination and control through movement.

Morton's Neruoma
Morton’s neuroma is a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot, often between the third and fourth toes.
It occurs when the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes becomes thickened, causing a sharp, burning pain in the forefoot.
This condition is commonly seen in those who wear tight or high-heeled shoes.
Learn about natural techniques to relieve Morton’s neuroma and prevent further irritation.
ACHILLES TENDINITS/TENDINOPATHY
Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury affecting the tendon that connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.
It often presents as pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle, especially during physical activity.
Achilles tendinopathy is frequently seen in runners and athletes.
Learn about the best practices for relieving pain, promoting healing, and preventing recurrence through our expert advice.
ANKLE SPRAINS
Ankle sprains occur when the ligaments that support the ankle are stretched or torn, often due to a sudden twist or impact.
This is one of the most common injuries, especially in athletes or active individuals.
While many sprains heal on their own, they can lead to chronic instability if not properly rehabilitated.
Learn how to treat and prevent ankle sprains with our targeted strengthening exercises and recovery strategies.
Hallux Limitus/Rigidus
Hallux limitus and hallux rigidus are conditions affecting the big toe joint, leading to stiffness and limited movement.
Over time, these conditions can progress, making it painful to walk or stand.
Hallux limitus starts with reduced motion in the big toe, while hallux rigidus involves the complete loss of motion.

Patella Tendinopathy/Knee Pain
Also known as jumper’s knee, patella tendinopathy involves the degeneration of the tendon connecting the kneecap to the shinbone.
It is common in athletes and those involved in repetitive jumping or running.
Patella tendinopathy can cause pain just below the kneecap and may worsen with activity.
Learn from leading health professionals about how to treat knee pain and strengthen the surrounding muscles.
Shin Splints
Shin splints refer to pain along the shinbone (tibia), typically caused by overuse in activities like running or jumping.
This condition is common in runners, dancers, and those who rapidly increase physical activity levels.
Shin splints can make it difficult to continue exercising without discomfort.
Discover how to reduce shin pain and prevent it from returning with our simple, effective, natural treatment options.
Posterior Tibialis Pain
Posterior tibialis dysfunction occurs when the posterior tibialis tendon, which supports the arch of the foot, becomes inflamed or torn.
This can lead to a flattening of the foot, overpronation, and pain along the inside of the ankle.
Left untreated, this condition can cause significant foot deformity and difficulty walking.
