Product Description
Foot Health for Athletes – Ankle Mobility – Barefoot Training
In this lecture, Health from the Ground Up: A Practical Guide to Understanding Feet, Ankles and Shoes, wellness coach Ron Jones covers the topics from A to Z. Toddler to elderly and barefoot to heeled, Ron answers all your questions about foot health, pain and injury.
“I’ve seen some research that shows the more you put between the heel and the ground, the more the body wants to push into it, trying to get feedback. In a way, it backfires on us because we end up putting more force through the heel with the cushioned shoes instead of less. The closer your foot is to the ground, the better off you’re going to be. The Air Cushion is very unnatural for the body to be running on.” ~Ron Jones

Jay Howard –
Extremely well done! I had never heard of Ron Jones before, but this lecture made a sit up and take notice. Very well organized and concise – in the short time of an hour I feel like I received a very thorough education on the subject. That included not only some theory, but also practical information, as well as sources for additional inquiry into the subject. If only all online lectures were this well done! Thank you!
