Feeling stuck with your routine of traditional stretching & strengthening exercises?

Learning the detailed movements that should be happening with every step you take gives you freedom of movement & pain relief.

Picture yourself moving like a younger version of you. No longer limping to skirt around old injuries but walking & running with confidence, speed & joy.

This is what my clients are saying:

“I wanted to give you a huge THANK YOU! We have been touring around Turkey for the past week and I have had no foot pain and no knee pain. It’s actually enjoyable to walk, hike and explore the outdoors! Again, thank you for everything that you did with physical therapy to restore my walking back to 100%!”
Mark

“I had a fantastic hike. My feet and ankles felt better on the trails today than they have in probably 2 years...I’m so thankful for your guidance.” Elizabeth

“Went on a hike Saturday. It was a rocky stream, slippery rocks. I felt so much more confident ...better balance & more strength in my whole body.” Danielle

“Christina has helped me SO much! 6 weeks ago I was really suffering with plantar fasciitis and given arch supports… well the arch supports caused me to have horrible knee pain. I saw Christina and she gave me exercises and I am almost pain free!! I have had heel issues for years and I am so much better. I am now walking/hiking 3 miles at time with no issues. Now that I am feeling better I am going to return to work on other stuff!!”

DM me MOVE if you want to be next

The flat foot gets demonized but learning how to drop your arch properly is one of the most important things you can do if you want to reduce pain & boost performance.

We need to pronate our foot well (flatter foot shape) to absorb shock & set us up for energetic propulsion forward.

If you have flat feet, you probably dump into the inner edge of your foot. Learning to use your whole foot when your arch drops improves the way you walk & run drastically.

So yes, even the flat footed person should train their feet to flatten out the right way. 🦶

Ready to eradicate pain & feel athletic & adventurous again? Follow Christina Summerville PT | Foot Pain Coach & message me FOOT.

I rarely see someone who keeps their big toe knuckle grounded properly when they make an arch in their foot. 🦶

When you get this right it helps your feet & whole body to move better.

This particular exercise gives me a huge hip flexor stretch, and I get tons of carry over with it since I’m practicing precise movements that should happen when I walk.

I’m using wedges as props to help my foot interact with the ground better and I’m moving my foot, leg, pelvis & spine in a very intentional way.

When you pay attention to the detailed moves that should be happening when you walk, expect BREAKTHROUGH with pain & performance. 🚀

Walking mechanics is the foundation for running & sports.

DM me I’M IN if you’re ready to learn what targeted exercises your body needs to move & feel your best.

Ready to feel younger & more confident?

Learn to accept weight fully on BOTH legs (most of us favor one side).

Training your arch to drop & absorb shock puts the spring back in your step.

This will help you have a more fun & adventurous summer.
