Ankles collapsing during squats or running???

The tibialis posterior is the foot’s most powerful invertor and the main brake on heel roll-in (eversion) and arch collapse, the exact motion that spins the tibia inward, while strong big-toe flexors anchor the windlass mechanism to stiffen the foot and settle rotation at push-off.

Soleus lunge holds, resisted inversion/supination, and controlled toe engagement help build a stable platform so the popliteus and posterolateral corner aren’t left fighting rotation on their own.

Short-foot training has even been shown to carry over to proximal strength in runners (Sulowska et al., BioMed Research International, 2018).

An honest caveat: the foot-to-shin link isn’t a perfect 1:1 dial. Pronation magnitude doesn’t always predict tibial rotation, so pair this ground-up work with proximal hip, hamstring, and rotational control (Reischl et al., Foot & Ankle International, 1999).

Build from the ground up AND from the top down.

Truly a DPT’s version of “kid in a candy store.”

I have found many personal and professional uses for these tools.

1) Kinesis Board- single leg stability with increased sensory input
2) Neuro Ball- foot intrinsic strengthening and desensitization
3) Neuro Stick- soft tissue massage and trigger point release

-just to name a few-

My patients have loved the integration of these items into sessions, and I have had my fair share of fun!

ACLR Rehab!

Agility and plyo progression in full swing (7-8 mo mark)

Explosive lateral bounds, depth drops, change of direction hurdle jumps, etc. build the fast-twitch strength for quicker first steps, faster swings, and stronger throws. We have added in perturbation drills and mid-air postural corrections. He’s training his body to stick landings and stay balanced under unexpected forces commonly encountered by catchers.

Workout!!

Seated Box Jumps: Eliminates the stretch-shortening cycle (eccentric preload) isolating concentric power production of the hip and knee extensors.

Zercher Squats: Loads the squat pattern with an anterior-held position that mimics real-world carrying and lifting tasks.

Pull-Ups: A closed-chain upper extremity exercise that strengthens the latissimus dorsi, scapular stabilizers (lower traps, rhomboids), and grip.

Trap Bar Deadlift: Develops posterior chain strength (glutes, hamstrings, erectors) with reduced lumbar shear compared to conventional DL.

Physical therapy should be individualized, collaborative, and deeply human!

XCEED was founded to honor that belief. It is built on the principle that every patient deserves high-quality, intentional, and personalized treatment—grounded in empathy, evidence-based practice, and long-term partnership. It reflects my perspective as a physical therapist who values the art of understanding the whole person, not just a diagnosis.

XCEED represents more than a clinic. It represents a commitment: to exceed baselines, elevate performance, and reimagine what rehabilitation can look like when care is truly centered on the individual.

And this is where patients begin to exceed what they once believed possible.
