I started skipping rope as another means of excersize alongside my transition to barefoot footwear. I would imagine skipping rope would be a great excersize to aid in transitioning and strenghtening the muscles needed to go barefoot, but I cannot find any information or sources backing this up. Does anyone know if this would make sense, or am I just making stuff up in my head. Any answer or content talking about this would be greatly appreciated, as I find skipping rope a fun and great way to warm up or do a workout. I am not a PT otherwise eduacated on the matter so I am curious if anyone has some comments on this.

Thank you

Another excellent and super informative video. 🙏 Thank you.

Very brave attitude towards health! thank you so much! Thanks to your videos and webinars, I already adopted barefoot shoes, but now I'm struggling daily on concrete and hardwood floors. In Japan, some architects make the floors softer and irregular to simulate the natural textures we evolved on. But in the absence of this "revolutionary" approach, and with all this concrete and hardwood, what is the solution? shorter brisker walks, or some extra cushioning? or... trying to move to the country side?

Where can I buy the toe pro? Great video!

Excellent video!! Great info!

Both my dad and I love watching your videos/channel. We've learned a ton from you and both take much better care of our feet, thanks to you. I'm 53 and my dad is 83. Since we started watching you and learned of you, we became fascinated and now work on balance and feet strengthening regularly, on top of our regular strength training routines. I wish you were local to us, so I could bring my dad to you and you take a look at his ankles, mainly his bad one. He plays softball several times a week but he has an ankle that is pretty weak. I know it will take time to get that strength back in his foot and ankle. Thanks for all of your inspiring work. Your passion for feet has inspired my dad and I to regularly work on all the things most people as old as we are totally neglect and take for granted. 😊

New to your channel. 61 yrs old, with planters facitis issues for over a year😢. Yet now I have nearly constant aching heel discomfort. Sad I can't grab my foot from behind. I notice my left knee is also an issue with stairs. Looking for as many exercises to build strength. Finally bought my first Zero pair. Almost like wearing sandals. Thanks for what you do.

I have a torn peroneal brevis tendon. Is this contributing to my pttd? I will seek out a good surgeon

Brand?

I would like to learn more about Leg Length Descrpnsy, really i learnt alot from you Dr. I hope that help me as i am PNO , i like your simplify methods u explain,Many thanks Dr.

But this is while addressing Hallux Rigidus and restoring big toe mobility, yes? It’s just a stopgap measure?

Thanks allot Dr Jen

Great secret Many thanks

Is the big toe meant to be constant activate or connect to to the glutes?

What are some soft tissues release techniques to try for this please? Dorsal or plantar lateral column? Do you have any info or videos on specifics to inhibit the soft tissue restrictions?? Thx for the excellent explanations!

My wife’s right big toe stickers up and also when walking her toes tit the ground first. Nice video.

My arch on left foot is not as strong as that of the right, and I tried your exercise here. Right big toe lifted 60 degree with no problem, but I feel a pull in the achilles tendon when lifting up my left big toe. Why might this be??

Thank you!

Similar video for peroneal tendons please 🙂

Good Luck for World Competition in New Zealand

Congratulations ! 👏👏👏👏Enjoy!!! I just got my 6Kyu @ 66 years old. I can't contain myself😅😅 Onwards and forward idiomatically and literally with my footwork. 👣👣👣👣😅

You both have such a great positive transmitting energy. Thank you for that. Being in all this pain mumbo jumbo can really weigh you down and kill your joy for life. I wish i would find a physical therapist that is actually a therapist and not just a fitness coach.

My ball is just pinging out from under my foot 😂

You don’t want them collapsed so you have to be careful and make sure that your gentle

This is how i stand all the time. Im bery leaned over to my left, all weight on left heel and outside foot, yet my pelvis is still higher on the right. Im also twisted fairly heavily to the left. This makes my neutral standing posture, if i even really have one: left foot back, and knee fully extended; torso leaning over left leg; pelvis twisted to my left side; left hip backward, right hip forward with both anteriorly shifted to some degree; both feet angled outward, with low butt gripping and close upper thigh alignment; right foot is always about 5cm or so forward compared to left, left foot weight is on heel, right foot weight is on the outside of right forefoot with badically no heel contact, its almost like a tripod kick stand. Also when i walk underwear and whatever trousers tend to corkscrew too the left, leaving the center part/button areaessentially around the left groin crease. I dont seem to be able to push out of my left side very well, if at all. And when i walk i sometimes catch myself, when pushing off of right leg, trying to twist more onto my left side from and already very shifted position. Lastly, when walking, if i dont pay attention, i will drift off to the left, really annoying anyone stood on my left side.

Can one improve this?

Great stuff! Looks easy, is really hard. I like to see Tom Michaud‘s influence. I am constantly learning from him.

What if the hips are are causing the anterior pelvic tilt ? Will the harness correct a splinter with this problem ?

Excellent

I have this and lift my heel early...I have pins and plates in my ankle frok 10 years ago and have just (6 weeks) had surgery to remove bone spurs in my ankle. Is resistance bands, heel drops (lowering heels down on a step) etc all I need to do to improve?

Thank you! I have got forefoot varus, ankle equines, pes cavus and haglunds. Is having all these other conditions consistent with forefoot varus? Is forefoot primary? x

if you have decreased ROM from decades how can you reverse that ?

But if you have retroversion hip your toes are going to point out. If you dont, then you will have hip problems.

i have been fighting plantar fasciitis on my own for over a year. I will try this exercise for sure. Where are you located? might want to get an actual consult with you folks!!

Thank you for the Video. Would the exercise be ever more effective if the raise does not start on the floor but from a negative level?

Do you have any bunion excercises?

Thank you for sharing! Much appreciated

Great conversation and patient focused solutions, thank you. Trying to send you patients but you are one busy lady

Interesting, but I feel like I'm missing a lot of context with these shorts. Is there a longer version? When should one use tape?

Throughly enjoyable, thanks

Thank you for this information. I’m currently experiencing severe pain in this area. Should I start your recommend exercises now or wait until the pain lessens? If I do them. Ow will it make the pain worse? Thanks again.

Should the band be on the talus, or right across the front of the joint where the tib/fib meet the talus? I had a debridement, and the two incisions are right at the joint, so I’m a little tender there.

Great conversation, thank you. Scribbling down the researchers names, lol! 21:00 Lorimer Moseley pain education is what I like to include in my thinking and patient education. I liked how humble Dr. Conley is, she (you are) is a sponge, but able to admit when making a mistake.

Where can I get those little toe balls?

Can you do these if you’ve had a knee replacement?

can this lead to bunions

Unfortunately I discovered this channel a little too late. 😢 Failing to find proper help in the Netherlands for my foot injury (7 years ago) I started to self diagnose. Firstly an external rotated tibia and later lack of internal rotation of the pelvis. 🤔 I started to self treat and ended up making things only worse. I also started walking on barefoot shoes. That was a good choice though. I love to use them in the forest as I like the way my foot responds to the uneven surface. I also love that I start to feel more and more. I can feel my front arch and also start to sense a more refined feeling at the bottom of my toes. I think the barefoot shoe also exposes my flaws, a weak mobilised foot. A result of a lifetime (I am almost 57) walking in "decent" shoes with good arch support. I am grateful to experience more sensations in my feet but I struggle to improve my gait. I have no idea what I'm doing...not really! Yesterday I allowed my foot to pronate more than usual during my walk and today my right foot and ankle feels strained. Did I do the right thing? So today I only went for a little walk. I also tried my old Hokas and noticed not to experience any issues wearing them. As my foot is not really doing anything in these shoes I assumed my foot needs to recover from overuse as apparently they still haven't adapted. Unfortunately time is not on my side. Next month I start on my PCT and I am trying to come up with a strategy allowing me to go. I am now contemplating to alternate my Xeros and my Hokas. However it really feels like a step back. Any suggestion is more than welcome. Many thanks.

excellent !
