Korkoliikkeiltä

Korkoliikkeiltä is a Finnish term that translates to "from high-heel movements" or "from heel movements" in English. It is often used in the context of physical activities, sports, or rehabilitation to describe exercises or movements that specifically involve or originate from the heel of the foot. This can encompass a variety of actions, such as lifting the heel off the ground, rolling the foot onto the heel, or using the heel as a pivot point.

In sports, particularly those requiring agility and quick changes in direction like basketball or tennis, corkoliikkeiltä can refer to specific footwork techniques. These techniques might involve generating power from the heel, stabilizing the body, or initiating a turn. Understanding and mastering these movements is crucial for performance, as they contribute to balance, speed, and explosiveness.

In the realm of physical therapy and rehabilitation, corkoliikkeiltä might describe exercises designed to strengthen the calf muscles, improve ankle stability, or aid in the recovery from foot or ankle injuries. These exercises often focus on controlled movements of the heel to gradually restore function and range of motion. The term emphasizes the origin or primary action being centered around the heel, distinguishing it from broader foot or leg movements.
