Building Strength and Flexibility Reduces Running Injuries: MD Podiatrist

 
Foot health is a topic that matters to every runner. Foot injuries tend to be among the most common injuries for runners. Why? Studies show that the ground impacts forces two to three times our body weight. That is a lot of stress. “One of the things that is overlooked by many runners is strength and flexibility of the foot,” says Daniel Michaels, DPM.
 
“If there is not good strength and flexibility, the chances of injury are much higher. One of the things I recommend is the mobo board. I use it myself to help strengthen my foot,” says Dr. Michaels.
