Our user asked: "My left foot rolls to the outside when I walk,so baically I am walking on the outside of my foot(which brings it own set of prob). This has been going on a long time. I use to run then was unable to run for other health prob and I think something shortened. I havent been able to get it to settle down. Are there exercises I can do?"
 
Ask a PT Response: "For my patient that may have this problem that has a weakness issue, I would have them work on strengthening the ankle, particularly the evertors. You can see examples here: http://www.cyberpt.com/cptvid02.asp - http://www.cyberpt.com/cptvid02.asp .  I would also have them work on stabilization exercises on a single leg (ie. single leg stance on flat surface and than non-compliant surface, balance boards, Bosu ball, discs, etc). If my patient was to have a muscle imbalance where the invertors are shortened, stretching would be incorporated. It would probably be a good idea to see a PT to determine what the issue may be for you."
