Tensions or injuries in the joint at the base of your head or in your feet and ankles can inhibit your mobility, flexibility, and range of motion. It can also cause tension throughout the body and negatively impact your balance. As a test, fold forward like you are trying to touch your toes. See how far you can get, then massage your feet and ankles for a few minutes (or get someone else to do so), then try bending forward again. You might find you can fold further! The fascial web connects everything in the body, so make sure you’re taking care of it!
