Each foot actually has 14 Phalanges 👣
Small toes have three!
Big toe has two.
Each phalange is actively gripping the surfaces and flexing to create balance. This allows you to make precise micro-corrections while you are walking, running, or standing so that don’t lose your balance.
If you do lose balance then it can be based on,
👂🏼 inner ear problems
👀 vision changes
💪🏼 muscle or joint weakness
🧬 nerve damage
💊 medications
You should practice balance as much as possible to build strength in the ankles to prevent falls, to create better posture as you age & allows you to have a sharper body awareness as you focus on holding your self up.
What’s your favourite pose to test out your balance?
