Your toes need to be able to bend and your arches need to be able to compress and expand like a spring. The arches are not meant to be immobilized. Instead of being used as dynamic structures, feet are asked to mold around the shape of the shoe they are, which immobilizes the feet. Eventually they can become weak and lose structure.

Evaluate the trapezius by grabbing onto it between your neck and shoulders and giving it a squeeze. Find your collar bone and trace it outward until you feel the end of it. There may be a divot there or a bump. That is your AC joint. Grip your collarbone as close to the AC joint with your thumb and index finger and slowly wiggle it back and forth.
