What causes inner ankle pain & foot cramp when inline or rollerskating? It's usually not your skates

Asha Kirkby from Virtual Skate School Skatefresh.com shares her ideas about another very common cause of inner ankle pain and foot cramp while skating.

After teaching thousands of skaters over 20 years Asha has seen hundreds of skaters with similar types of inner ankle pain, located close to the big toe tendon in the ankle. Incorrect weight on the heels due to insufficient knee bend causes this tendon to activate, causing pressure and pain over time.

Having good technique in skating will reduce your risks of pain and slow onset injuries that are the worst thing to affect skaters everywhere. If you skate incorrectly, your body and joints will receive pressure in places and ways that the body isn't designed for. Skating shouldn't hurt. If it does, something is wrong.
