patience love to ask, "why am I doing this ridiculous exercise? Is this even functional?"
Short answer. Yes it is!
Maybe your PT has you walking heel to toe like a tight rope and you're wondering why on earth you'd ever have to train for something like that. But the point is to train your muscles in all directions and for all different scenarios.
You may not be planning on walking a tight rope anytime soon but how about trying to fit between close objects in your house or maneuver around aisles in the grocery store? your ankle's knees and hips are being trained with heel to toe walking exercises, and many more, so that when you need to use any of those muscles for any situation out in real life... you are READY
