Big feet arches

Hi again,

Quick question about foot placement in dorsiflexion.  I have big arches and anytime I have to get in dorsiflexion, either in the stretch series or SLS elements, my feet flatten themselves so I can complete the flexion.  If I try to keep and force the arches, my ROM reduces by blocking the ankle.

Is this ok?

Thanks!

You are over thinking this.  Simply allow your arches to move naturally.

Thank you for your reply sir. 

Won't it affect the ankle stability  if I let it collapse?

Hey Etienne,

Try the movements you're talking about using Coach Sommer's advice. If you still have trouble, please submit an example video in the Stretch or Foundations form checks sections.
