Deep Squats and Stiff Ankles
Show Notes Chapter Markers

Your ankles and your feet.  Although they’re the foundation to so many different movements, the importance of a functional base can often get overlooked.

Today, the guys get into ankle injuries, deep squatting, and ideas to improve ankle mobility, 
We discuss balance beam work, the need to get past temporary fixes, and how the culture you are raised in can influence your mobility. 

And finally, we close the show with another Fireside Chat with Gray.
So let’s get going with today’s episode of the Movement Podcast -- powered by FMS.
