Balance training is one of the most effective and most overlooked ways to reduce lower-limb injury risk.

Research shows that good balance improves ankle stability, reduces knee valgus, improves landing control and enhances whole body coordination (Thompson 2017; Dingenen & Gokeler 2017).

After any lower-limb injury, balance often declines due to weaker proprioception, slower reaction time and reduced movement confidence. Training balance helps restore these systems, making your movement safer and more efficient.

If you want your ankle, knee and hip to be more resilient, balance work needs to be part of your training, especially when paired with consistent strength work.

Most ankle rehab gets cut short - pain eases fast, people feel ready and the ankle returns to sport before it’s actually prepared.

Whether it’s a sprain, tendinopathy, overuse pain or general instability, the ankle doesn’t just need strength - it needs control, balance and the ability to handle real movement.

Banded exercises alone won’t rebuild that.

Effective ankle rehab comes down to three pillars:

Strength. Control. Balance + landing.

Simple structure. Big results.

Take this with a pinch of salt…
The body is incredibly adaptable - training load, recovery and strength are usually far more important for injury prevention than foot mechanics alone.

But… the way your feet move can influence how load is distributed through the lower limb (especially in runners).
Here are 3 common foot mechanics patterns I see in clinic:

1️⃣ Uncontrolled Overpronation
Pronation is normal (and helpful).
It only becomes an issue when it’s poorly controlled under load, which can increase tibial rotation and stress at the: ankle, shin or knee.

2️⃣ Inflexible / Rigid Foot
A stiff or high-arched foot doesn’t absorb impact as well, which can shift load elsewhere in the chain.
Not necessarily a “problem” - but useful to be aware of in some cases.

3️⃣ Weak Intrinsic Foot Muscles
When the small muscles of the foot don’t support the arch well, other tissues may take on more of the workload.

None of these guarantee injury.
They’re simply movement tendencies that may influence loading patterns - especially during higher-volume training.

If you’re dealing with recurring niggles or you’re trying to optimise running performance, improving foot strength and control is often a helpful place to start.

Your feet do far more for you than any pair of shoes ever will.

They: absorb load, stabilise you and propel you forward - step after step.

Research shows that:
• The human foot is built as a dynamic spring to manage impact and propulsion
• Strong intrinsic foot muscles improve balance, arch control and load distribution
• Footwear can assist, but it cannot replace active muscular control

If you want better balance, smoother push-off, more efficient walking/running and less knee/hip stress… start by strengthening your feet. 🦶💪
