    The design of a shoe should consider factors such as heel drop, cushioning, and stability to match the specific activity or sport.

    Simplifying anatomy and physiology can help a broader audience understand the science behind stretching and movement. Flexibility and instruction have often been misunderstood and taken a bad rap, but they can be effective when approached with the right knowledge and understanding.
