Hello, JANMI community! It's Paulius here, ready to discuss something that many of us don’t think about—our ankles! You might not realise it, but our modern lifestyle can have a significant impact on the alignment of our ankle joints. Let’s explore why this happens and how Myofascial Release Therapy at JANMI can help keep your ankles healthy and strong.
Why Ankle Alignment Matters
Your ankles are like the foundation of a building. Just like a strong foundation keeps a building stable, well-aligned ankles help keep your whole body balanced. If your ankle joints are out of alignment, it can cause problems not just in your feet, but also in your knees, hips, and even your back!
How Modern Life Affects Your Ankles
Our modern lifestyle is full of conveniences, but some of these can actually harm our bodies, especially our ankles. Here’s how:
1. Sitting for Long Periods: Many of us spend hours sitting at desks or in cars. This can make the muscles and tendons around your ankles weak and tight, which can pull your ankle joints out of alignment.
2. Wearing Fashionable Shoes: High heels, flip-flops, or shoes with poor support can change the way your foot hits the ground, leading to misalignment of your ankles.
3. Lack of Movement: If you’re not moving around much, your muscles and fascia (the thin layer covering your muscles) can get stiff. This stiffness can affect how your ankle joints move and function.
4. Walking on Hard Surfaces: Walking on concrete or other hard surfaces every day can put extra stress on your ankles, leading to misalignment over time.
Interesting Fact: Did you know that your ankles support up to five times your body weight when you walk? This means even small misalignments can cause big problems over time.
How JANMI Myofascial Release Therapy Can Help
At JANMI, we understand how these everyday activities can affect your body. That’s why we offer Myofascial Release Therapy to improve alignment in your ankle joints.
What is Myofascial Release Therapy?
Your muscles are wrapped in a thin, stretchy layer called fascia. When you spend too much time sitting or wearing the wrong shoes, this fascia can get tight and pull your joints out of the proper alignment. Myofascial Release Therapy gently stretches and loosens this fascia, helping to bring your ankle joints back into better alignment.
