I can not tell you how much you need to have a good function in your foot and ankle! It’s EVERYTHING! (well, not quite but it’s VERY important in the kinetic chain).
Squat is an essential movement. A good squat pattern depends on mobility and stability in the foot, ankle, knee, hip and spine.
The impact of dysfunction in our feet may not show until later in our lives but it doesn’t mean that they are functioning properly. If you detect any earlier signs of dysfunction or have had foot/ankle injuries, you must start to do exercises to help them.
