Your poor ankle mobility makes it hard to squat
Dr. Allison is bustin’ myths today!
Simply put, your knees should be able to pass your toes when you squat. 🤯
No joke! Watch any toddler squatting down to play and know that no matter your age, you should be able to do that, too.
But, how far should your knee go past and what does it mean if you can’t get there?
For many of our patients, it means poor ankle mobility, and THAT can lead to pain in the knee!
Try out this simple test to see how your ankle mobility stacks up.
If you’d like some help or have questions about your ankles, knees or squat technique, give us a shout! Your discovery call is always free.
Allison received her Doctor of Physical Therapy from Wichita State University (2022) after completing her undergrad in Kinesiology at Kansas State University.
Working as a CNA throughout her undergrad program, she saw first hand the life-long struggles that people faced with their health and wellness.
"I was motivated to get people healthy and stay that way throughout their lives. It pains me to see people struggle and feel like they're just extending their life. I want to help people improve their quality of life and thrive."
Allison takes a nuanced approach to client care and focuses on the mental as much as the physical.
"I have the chance to help clients feel stronger and more confident in their body; Help them understand how resilient and capable they really are!"
Allison is AAMT Dry Needling Certified and has a diverse range of manual therapy training in her tool kit.
Outside of seeing clients, Allison spends her time doing water sports, running and spending every opportunity outside. She tries to stay involved in the community and support local small businesses.
