This course focuses on how the foot arch is controlled during movement, and how strength, muscle tone, proprioception, and motor control contribute to stability through the feet, ankles, and lower body.
Rather than treating the arch as a passive or purely structural feature, the course treats it as an active system that adapts to load, sensory input, and movement demands. Through education and dedicated exercises, you will train how the foot organises itself during standing, walking, and simple dynamic tasks.
The emphasis is on understanding how the foot behaves during real movement, and how control of the arch is developed through strength, coordination, and sensory feedback rather than rigid rules, bracing, or external supports.
What this course covers
This course explains how proprioception, motor control, and muscle tone influence how the foot arch behaves during everyday movement.
You will work through common ideas around flat feet, collapsed arches, and support, and learn how the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and trunk are often discussed as part of an integrated system.
Guided movement and targeted exercises are used to show how strength and stability are trained through progressive loading, coordination, and improved control of the foot rather than isolated activation or static positioning.
Inside the course
The course is organised into five progressive blocks, each building logically on the previous one.
Across the five blocks, you will work with:
• Clear teaching on foot mechanics, proprioception, and motor control
• Dedicated exercises targeting foot and ankle strength, muscle tone, and arch control
• Progressive tasks that introduce load, balance, and movement demands
• Practical links between foot control and movement at the ankle, knee, and hip
• Common misconceptions around arches, footwear, and support clearly explained and reframed
Each block adds complexity, helping you understand how stability is developed through movement and practice rather than forced into position.
What you will practise
Throughout the course, you will:
• Watch short teaching segments explaining how the foot is organised and controlled
• Practise exercises focused on foot and ankle strength, tone, and proprioceptive control
• Work with standing, walking, and dynamic tasks that challenge arch control
• Observe how changes in attention and sensory input influence movement organisation
• Practise using the foot more confidently during real world movement tasks
The course is designed to be worked through gradually, with the option to revisit sections as your understanding and control develop.
Who this course is for
This course is for people who want a clearer understanding of how foot and ankle control is developed during movement, and how stability is built through training rather than bracing.
It may be particularly relevant if you struggle to control your arches, feel unstable through the feet or ankles, or notice foot mechanics influencing movement further up the body. It is also suitable for people living with pain or hypermobility, and for coaches or practitioners who want a more grounded framework for thinking about foot strength, control, and coordination.
No prior experience is required.
