YOUR BODY IS
CONNECTED.
Pain doesn't always tell the whole story. Movement involves muscles, fascia, joints, nerves and compensation patterns working together — which is why understanding the body can change the way we think about discomfort and performance.
Vitality Chronicles is where I break those ideas down into practical, understandable articles about anatomy, common symptoms, movement and hands-on bodywork.
The goal isn't to turn you into an anatomy expert. It's to help you understand your body a little better.

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Causes and Risk Factors:
Anatomic Abnormalities: Certain anatomical variations, such as a flat foot or a prominent bump on the inside of the ankle, can increase the risk of compression on the tibial nerve.
Overuse or Repetitive Stress: Activities that involve prolonged standing, walking, or running can put excessive pressure on the tibial nerve, leading to irritation or compression.
Behind Fallen Arches
Overpronation and Weakness: When the anterior tibialis is weak or lacks sufficient strength, it can contribute to overpronation and fallen arches. Overpronation occurs when the foot excessively rolls inward, putting strain on the structures of the foot and potentially leading to imbalances and discomfort.
