Laying Some Groundwork • Part2 Addressing a stiff big toe The big toe is much more important than one may think. During normal gait (walking) the entire body must advance over the 1st met head (base of the big toe). When the body can’t advance thru this joint, due to stiffness and restriction, the body will find a way around it and this can sometimes cause numerous conditions and injuries up the chain. This self mobilization is a nice and simple way to improve the mobility of this joint which can even lead to improved foot and ankle mobility. Couple this mobility drill with Part 1 of the series which was posted a few days ago w/ @michaelbettale and Part 3 of the series that we will show tomorrow.

Laying Some Groundwork • Part1 Over the next several days, @michaelbettale (DCs/FRCms) & @suppleperformance are going to be showing some ways to improve foot and ankle mobility/control/function. Our feet are our foundation, so it's important to make sure we function well down there. ________________________________________________ Intrinsic foot strengthening exercise. Great for regaining neurological control and awareness of how much your feet can(or can't 🤔) actually move. Nice, slow, and controlled. You may not be able to move with perfect fluidity, control, or independence now, but you can with some practice. Points of Performance: Keep your outside 4 toes up and touch your big toe down, and then keep your big toe up while keeping your 4 toes down. Then place all toes down and dissociate by raising your big toe only followed by raising your 4 outside toes only. #FRCms #controlyourself #functionalrangeconditioning #EDD ------------------------------------------------- Follow Supple Performance Therapy on FB, Instagram, Twitter, & YouTube for several health & fitness related tips, drills, fixes, and information for all ages! suppleperformancetherapy.com #mobility #Crossfit #weightlifting #gymnastics #CrossfitKids #WOD #bouldering #parkour #SpartanTraining #primal #golffit #mytpi #therapy #chiropractic #rehab #FitnessHero #SportsMedicine #StLouis #StlFitness #clinicalathlete #SupplePerformance
