Interestingly, they actually get a lot of symptoms up the chain. Our foot has so many bones and all these articulations where we're supposed to comply to the ground. If that shock absorption goes away, like let's say I'm wearing these big goofy running shoes that they sell now that have the rocker where it's all just like patching holes in the boat rather than optimizing movement.

If we have a foot that is stiff, those force factors go up through the body. So now my knees, my hips, and my spine have to figure out that force distribution because one of my best shock absorbers is the foot and the ankle. If that's not doing its job, everything else pays the price. So I see a lot of people, let's say the soleus is weak, their lower part of their calf.

So that control of their tibia as either walk or lunge isn't there. So that ankle just walks up and then they send all that force to their knee. That's why one of my favorites is anyone with a chronic knee issue, I'm going right at that foot and ankle first. Because if the foot and ankle isn't up to the task, then my knee is going to take a beating.

I mean, it's a good theory, but absolutely. Yeah. You're really good, wide, mobile feet. Your knees gets to be a knee.

If that rotation, that pivot joint that's supposed to happen at the ankle isn't pronounced to the amount you want and it isn't mobile enough, then that knee and that force vector is going to happen at the upper tibia and the femur where now you start to get these little meniscus things that showed up out of nowhere. That torsion has to happen somewhere.

Yeah, I love what you just showed there. The graph is always going to have peaks and valleys. When your brain perceives threat, whatever that could be, maybe your dad hurt himself playing football, so you're scared to play football. But when your brain perceives threat, not only is your heightened awareness up, your nervous system is kicked up, but we're more sensitive to pain.

So certain things hurt more when we're ill or when we're stressed than if we're not. And if we stick to just movement themselves, a lot of people are afraid of certain movements because it hurt me in the past, or they heard it could hurt them, or maybe they just haven't done it a long time, so they're nervous about it.

So you can actually empower people if you show them there's a rational reason why that fear could be there or why that pain is there. Pain does not always mean injury. Pain is your brain telling you, hey, I don't like what's happening here, but it doesn't always mean you're broken or busted. Another thing to think about is your image isn't always a death sentence.

If we MRI 100,000 low backs, there's going to be wear and tear, especially if you're over 30 years old. Same goes for every other joint in the body. Does that mean we design your whole clinical plan around that? No. We really need to think about, okay, how much is there? What do they want to do? What are their strengths? What are their weaknesses? All those things we already spoke to.

So when there's fear involved, you really have to address that because the individual needs to know that A, you have a plan for them, that you understand their fears. And then B, we got to account for those fears in one way or another. So this is not data, but in my private practice,
