Outer Heel-to-Inner Thigh-to-Core Strength Connection Stabilizes the Lumbar Spine and Sacrum

The outer edge of the heel grants access to using the inner thighs in a way in which these muscles connect to the core muscles attached to the lumbar spine.

Other outer-edge-of-the-heel benefits:

Creating space and stability in the ankle for achilles tendon to extend and for calves to release more easily

Supports feet, knees, and hips in walking up and down stairs

Grants the connection to outer hamstring for fuller use of the entire hamstring length and for a spreading-out power of these muscles

Grants access to inner-thigh-psoas core relationship for use in cycling, running, stair master, and eliptical trainers because of the realization that the psoas muscles are what create the circling motion of the legs

The heel edge because of its relationship to the hamstrings-to-sit-bones stability and tone are the key to diminishing saddlebags
