Newsletter | September  06, 2021

Exercising the feet can improve strength and flexibility in the toes and develop better balance. When the muscles and ligaments in the feet are misaligned, it creates a chain reaction of misalignment throughout the entire body. If you can make your feet muscular and more flexible, you will create a better base system for your whole body.
