Hi everyone, we’re Arnaud and Gwen. I’m the co-founder of Fleeters and an osteopath for about twenty years.
And I’m a sports physiotherapist, also for about 20 years, specialized in running.
We’re excited to be here today to talk about foot-to-head health.
We’ll talk about strength, mobility, coordination, and balance.
Today we’ll focus on foot muscles — two exercises, two tools: a rubber band and any small ball.
Why build stronger feet? To run faster, longer, jump higher, avoid repeated ankle sprains.
Exercise 1: place a ball between your heels, rise up on your toes while squeezing the ball. This strengthens the peroneals (for ankle stability) and the calves. Add weight for intensity.
Exercise 2: use a resistance band under one foot, pulling inward to work the tibialis posterior and anterior.
Work until you feel fatigue or mild cramps — it’s all about control and endurance.
Repeat daily if there’s no soreness, and enjoy rediscovering your natural strength.
