    It wasn't until earlier this year that I realized that my balance and proprioception was nowhere near good as they should be. I've had ankle and foot issues for years. And I can see how that's affected my knees, back and general movement. So I appreciate the foot strengthening exercises. Btw, the six pack abs on the foot in the thumbnail is hilarious.

    • @holldollz4309
      @holldollz4309 Před 9 měsíci

      @@Poopdeck1015 I had a bunionectomy on both my feet. They took a pie shaped piece of bone out of my big toe and reset the bone. 1st attempt failed so I had to do one foot twice with a bone graph from my heal. Then got the other foot done 12 weeks after. Good recovery with bone broth and vitamin D3 (to help absorb calcium better). Best of luck with your surgery.

    Doctors should have their older patients do these exercises because senior citizens usually have very stiff feet and that has so much to do with why they walk wobbly and fall.

      So do middle aged people. Go too quickly with big toe mobility exercises and you can tear the plantar fascia plate. (I speak from bitter experience).

    Nice video:) I have a question 🤔
    Do you think we should apply this biomechanics even when we are out from fitness/gym training? I was thinking there are lots of reflex mechanics in running and jumping in which every person has a personal scheme, that could include pronated/overarched foot or valgus knee to maximize performance. Would you try to change this automatisms or would you use these exercises only in correction/prevention/rehab? Thanks

    I’m a US service member and former athlete. I’ve been dealing with bunions for years. It hasn’t lead to significant issues so far but if I make a career out of the military I feel it will eventually create an issue down the line.
    My question: do you think it’s possible to mitigate bunions (within reason) without surgery? If so, how?
    I think your approach to rehab and strength training is a modern and realistic approach. I understand you’re not a surgeon but if you have recommendations (other than wider toe box shoes) please lmk. I appreciate your hard work and diligence✌️

    • @hungusthefungus3461

      One of the things that you could do is sleep with toe seperators. 'Wide' shoes are also recommended.

  • @JohnPretty1
    @JohnPretty1 Před 11 měsíci

    This is great Graham, but If you're feet are inflexible then I think you have to start very slowly with this. I've got a plantar fascia tear now from trying to mobilise my big toe. So rather than making things better, I've made them worse.

    First metatarsal head should be in contact with the floor (not so in the demonstration) while the heel and metatarsal head slide on the ground towards each other, when performing the “short foot.”It’s a difficult movement. Then you can practice hopping while maintaining that short foot position.
