Knees, Legs, & Feet
Anatomy & Physiology
Overview
In this lesson, we present the anatomy and biomechanics of the knees, legs, and feet.
Objective
Understand the structure and function of the lower limbs and their role in stability, alignment, and movement.
What You'll Get
You'll get a grounded understanding of how your legs and feet support everything you do. This includes the knee's vulnerability and resilience, the ankle's role in balance, and the foot's surprising complexity. You'll learn to recognize alignment issues, protect your joints, and use your feet as the foundation they are. For teachers and therapists, this helps you cue standing poses more effectively, spot compensations that lead to injury, and work with students who have knee or foot issues.
