Proper big toe mobility is crucial for efficient movement and overall lower limb health. But most people don’t realize the real reason why it commonly becomes limited. When your posture shifts forward, placing your center of gravity over your forefoot, it can restrict the extension of your big toe....

I got turf toe in 2005. Still very tight. Almost ended my football career.

This is a big one. So common too! One major cause is the overcrowding of the toes in narrow shoes. You get hallux valgus and poor extension for years and years.

I love this post because this is something that is very overlooked. Gait starts from the ground-up! Lacking mobility in these areas will lead to poor gait and compensating which will ultimately lead to pain in the low back and hips. #PSUClinExPhy @invinceible24

Great analysis. The early heel lift shifts everything forward, causing most lower extremity issues seen clinically.

Something like this shouldn’t be overlooked. Everything starts from the ground up. Don’t neglect your feet. @invinceible24 #PSUClinExPhy

A root cause of tight hamstrings, poor posture, and lower back pain? Weak hips - one of the most under trained muscle groups. It can even have a domino effect and lead to knee and ankle issues. One strategy to avoid this is “Copenhagens”. NBA players do these for injury prevention, improving stability and balance. Great to do at home and uses the lateral flexion movement pattern of your spine. Too hard? Rest your knee instead of foot on the bench. Too easy? Bend your off-knee and perform them weighted with a plate. Execution: 1. Support your bodyweight on your elbow (should be directly under your shoulder). 2. Place the inside of your foot on a bench. 3. Lift your hip off the floor by pushing your foot down onto the bench.

Steve Young on Brock Purdy’s injury: “It’s the ligament in the big toe. He’s a righty so it’s on his right foot and that’s the plant foot… The whole throw is through your right big toe if you think about it. So for Brock, you saw him last week, he had to stay off of it. So what you do is you start your throwing motion, and you can’t dig in with your toe, so you come over the top like a catapult, so all of a sudden your throws are high and not as crisp. So you have to manage.” 🎥: PTI

The single-leg RDL is a seriously underrated exercise for single-leg strength, hamstring resilience, and real hip stability. But it also humbles you. If your balance falls apart the moment you send your hips back, the issue is not balance. It means your glutes and hamstrings aren't controlling the hip, so your body goes looking for stability everywhere else. That’s why you wobble. Focus on these: - Tripod foot. Weight spread across big toe, little toe, and heel. Steady base, steady everything above it. - Slight, fixed knee bend. A small bend in the standing knee, held the whole rep. Hinge, not squat. - Straight rear leg. Keep it long and in line with your torso so it moves as one with you. - Level pelvis. Both hip bones facing the floor. Let it rotate open and your glute medius quits. Drive the hip straight back, feel the hamstring lengthen and take the load, then stand tall. If you get that right, the balance will be sorted.

This exercise should be mandatory for desk workers: They’re called Ankle Mobs and almost no one is doing them. Sitting can quietly destroy ankle dorsiflexion and inhibits the knee from going past the toe. When an ankle is stiff, it works around it: -Heels lift off the floor when you squat. -Knee caves inward on the way down. -Low back rounds at the bottom. -Arch collapses to steal a few degrees. -Hip works overtime covering for a joint that quit. You feel it in the knee. You feel it in the back. You blame the knee and the back, but the restriction is 12 inches lower. Do this 30 second test: Put your toe about four inches from a wall. Drive your knee straight forward toward the wall. Keep your heel flat on the floor the entire time. If the heel lifts before your knee touches, or the knee drifts inward to reach it, that's your answer. Check both sides. Most people are noticeably worse on one. That's what I'm doing in this video. Foot flat on the platform, knee driving as far past the toes as it will go, heel stays down, then let it come back. 6 reps a side. Slow. You're not stretching a muscle. You're asking a joint to move through a range it forgot it had, under a little load, so the nervous system stops guarding it. Do 30 seconds a day on both ankles and you never know, you might change your life.

This home lunge superset isn't for the faint of heart. The burning heat in your legs will beg you to stop, but the strength and growth you'll reap make it all worth it. 4 sets of 12 forward lunges, then 12 Reverse right away. Build a lower body that stands the test of time: Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest up and shoulders back. Step: Take a big step forward, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Brace: Engage your core and maintain balance as your front foot lands to stabilize the movement. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Lunge mistakes and how to avoid them 1. Taking Too Small a Step - What Happens: A short step limits the range of motion, reducing muscle activation in the glutes and quads. - Fix: Step far enough forward to allow both knees to bend at 90 degrees. 2. Rising Onto the Front Toes - What Happens: Lifting the heel shifts balance and reduces engagement of the glutes and hamstrings. - Fix: Keep your front foot flat, pressing firmly through the heel. 3. Poor Hip Alignment - What Happens: Tilting or rotating the hips reduces balance and proper muscle engagement. - Fix: Keep your hips square and aligned with your torso throughout the movement. 4. Feet Too Narrow or Wide - What Happens: Misaligned foot placement reduces stability and increases the chance of losing balance. - Fix: Keep your feet hip-width apart to maintain balance and proper alignment during the lunge. 5. Not Engaging the Core - What Happens: A weak core reduces balance and stability, increasing the risk of wobbling. - Fix: Brace your core upon landing to absorb the impact and keep your torso steady and aligned. Reverse Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest lifted, core engaged, and shoulders back. Step: Step one leg back, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Land: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and prevent assistance from the toes. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Reverse Lunge Mistakes and how to avoid them: 1. Using the Toes for Support on the Back Foot - What Happens: Relying on the back toes reduces the stretch in the ankle and shifts focus away from the front leg. - Fix: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and isolate the front leg fully. 2. Leaning Forward - What Happens: Leaning forward places unnecessary strain on the lower back and reduces engagement of the glutes and quads. -Fix: Keep your chest up and shoulders back to maintain an upright posture.Letting the Front Knee 3. Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 4. Letting the Front Knee Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 5. Pushing Off the Back Foot - What Happens: Using the back foot to assist reduces the workload on the front leg. - Fix: Focus on driving through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.

Eye twitching, or myokymia, is often linked to high cortisol—the stress hormone your body releases during times of pressure. While it may seem like a minor annoyance, it can be your body’s way of signaling elevated stress levels. When cortisol remains high for prolonged periods, it can disrupt the nervous system, leading to these involuntary muscle spasms. 👁️ For women in their 30s and 40s, managing work, family, and life can create the perfect storm for chronic stress.

There's a 60 second test that determines how old you are and most people over 40 will fail it. It's called the Old Man Test. 1. Stand barefoot with your shoes and socks in front of you. 2. Lift one foot. 3. Put on a sock, then a shoe, tie it. Foot never touches the ground. 4. Switch sides. Do the same thing. As you age, balance becomes the canary in the coal mine. The good news is you can improve it at any age. - Don't be excessively fat - Build lower body strength using single leg exercises - Walk heel to toe across the kitchen - Stand on one foot while brushing your teeth - Get off the couch without using your hands - Lift weights 3x a week. Try it out and let me know in the comments if you passed or failed.

Great stretch for people who sit at desks all day or deal with low back pain. It's called the Tactical Frog. One of the most overlooked areas of the lower body is the inner thigh aka. the adductor. Inflexible or weak adductors can reduce hip mobility as well as cause knee and low back pain. Improving your adductors improves your hip mobility, which is crucial for anyone that sits at a desk for long periods of time. How to do this: 1. Start with hands and knees on the ground. Neutral spine with shins on the ground. 2. Spread your knees apart as far as possible 3. Push your butt back to your ankles. Start on your hands first and if you're flexible enough use your forearms for support. With any stretch, you always go where your range of motion allows you to go. Do this for a set of 30-60 seconds daily and breathe while performing it. Your hips will thank you.

Rebounding, or jumping on a mini-trampoline, offers a variety of health benefits for the body that are both surprising and impressive. Here’s a detailed look at some of the key advantages: 1. Improved Cardiovascular Health ❤️ Rebounding is an excellent way to get your heart pumping and improve cardiovascular health. The rhythmic motion increases heart rate, promoting better circulation and strengthening the heart muscle over time. 2. Lymphatic System Boost 🌿 Unlike many other forms of exercise, rebounding is particularly effective at stimulating the lymphatic system. The up-and-down motion helps to flush out toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials from the body, which can enhance your immune system and overall health. 3. Enhanced Balance and Coordination ⚖️ The unstable surface of the trampoline forces your body to engage multiple muscles to maintain balance, which over time improves your coordination and stability. This can be especially beneficial for older adults looking to maintain their independence and reduce the risk of falls. 4. Low-Impact Exercise 🌟 Despite its effectiveness, rebounding is gentle on the joints. The trampoline absorbs much of the impact, making it a great option for those with joint pain or those recovering from injuries, while still providing a high-intensity workout. 5. Muscle Toning and Strengthening 💪 Rebounding works out various muscle groups, particularly in the core, legs, and lower back. Regular sessions can lead to improved muscle tone, increased strength, and better posture. 6. Improved Bone Density 🦴 The gentle impact on bones from rebounding can stimulate bone growth and increase bone density, which is crucial for preventing osteoporosis and maintaining bone health as we age. 7. Stress Relief and Mental Health 😌 The rhythmic motion of bouncing has been shown to have calming effects, reducing stress and anxiety. Additionally, the physical activity releases endorphins, the body's natural mood lifters, which can help to combat depression and improve overall mental well-being. 8. Better Digestion and Gut Health 🍎 Rebounding can also positively impact digestion by stimulating the digestive tract, promoting better nutrient absorption, and reducing issues like constipation. The gentle motion helps to massage the intestines, aiding in regular bowel movements. 9. Increased Energy Levels ⚡️ Regular rebounding can lead to higher energy levels. The exercise helps to improve circulation and oxygen flow throughout the body, which can leave you feeling more energized and less fatigued throughout the day. 10. Weight Loss and Fat Burning 🔥 Rebounding is an effective calorie-burning exercise. It increases metabolism and helps to burn fat, making it a great option for those looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Incorporating just a few minutes of rebounding into your daily routine can provide a wide array of benefits, making it a versatile and effective way to support your overall health and well-being.

Most people don't realise how interconnected their body truly is. Your feet and tongue are directly connected via the Deep Front Line. And this connection has a direct correlation with your looks - let me explain. The DFL is the most important fascial chain in the body - and it directly affects your breath, facial structure, athleticism, and more. When the DFL is tensioned from either side, the fascia asymmetrically compensates and relapses. Which shifts your posture, stiffens your movements, tightens your sutures, and increases tension across the entire body. This directly affects the way we look. This is exactly why craniosomatic techniques like Thumbpulling™ are so important - they help your fascial network to revert back how it should be. When you Thumbpull: -barefoot -against the wall -pelvis tilted forward -anterior tibial tendon active -tongue suctioned to the palate -with the big toe pressed into the ground You actively REMODEL the fascia back to its original state. Which brings tremendous benefits to health and looks. Fascia is truly magical.

Can a person have an alien leg? YES. Limb levitation in corticobasal syndrome is something we see commonly in an expert clinic. This video and report shows involuntary movements of the right leg “alien leg”. In order for the patient to stand up the doctor had to stand on his right foot to hold it in place. The ‘‘alien foot’’ is rarer and the authors point out that foot involvement can lead to erroneous localization of the clinical problem to the knee, hip, or back.''

The single-leg RDL ( or as some may call a hip hinge) is one of my favourite unilateral movements for building strength and control through the entire posterior chain, from your mid/lower back, to the glutes and hamstrings. Most athletes focus on just getting strong under load and while that’s important, there’s another key piece that often gets overlooked: creating length and extension through the whole body. Think about creating distance between your rear heel and the top of your head that’s where the magic happens. Here’s how I like to coach this movement: 1️⃣ RDL box-assisted with a slider — This gives your athlete a stable base to feel supported while learning to reach through that back leg. It’s a semi-passive way to build the right pattern safely. 2️⃣ Foam roller progression — Now we add a bit more difficulty. Holding a foam roller between your rear foot and same side hand forces you to stay long and connected from head to heel. 3️⃣ Banded active correction — Here, we make it active. Pressing your rear foot into the band creates that intentional extension and full-body engagement. Once your athlete has mastered these three progressions, they’re ready to load the real RDL — and you’ll notice better balance, smoother control, and a stronger hinge pattern overall. Remember: the goal isn’t just to move heavy weight, it’s to move well first. When athletes learn to own the movement, performance follows.

Remember: the goal isn’t just to move heavy weight, it’s to move well first. When athletes learn to own the movement, performance follows.

Sitting on the ground more is one of the simplest things you can do for long-term mobility. It sounds almost too basic, but getting down to the floor and back up is a real marker of independence. If you lose that ability, a lot of everyday function starts to go with it. Sit with your legs straight out. Sit cross-legged. Kneel. Shift around. These positions gently restore hip rotation, ankle mobility, and the ability to move your body in and out of different shapes. This kind of low-level, daily movement practice helps maintain better joint mechanics, and according to Kelly Starrett, it might be one reason why "floor cultures" such as those in Asia often preserve mobility longer and have fewer problems related to stiffness and loss of function. From the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

Leg Press is the other most-commonly-done-poorly exercise I see at the gym. Here's what I do to grow the quads (leg day brought to you by Maison du Coq): - Lower the weight. Probably a lot. If you can do 10 plates/side, your form *likely* sucks - Feet LOW of platform. We want most of the bend/tension to be in the knee/quad, rather than just the hip/glute - If applicable, make your seat is leaned back - Go as far down/deep as possible. Might have to improve hip and ankle mobility to get the most out of it here. It's OK if your knees go in front of your toes. That whole thing is a myth - You can use straps to hold onto the handles, and pull like no tomorrow - CFRT, smooth and controlled on the way down, explosive and controlled on the way up Congrats. You're now one of the 0.001% of people who do this exercise well!

Most people think depression, anxiety, and brain fog start in the brain. But what if they actually start in the rest of your body? Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest drivers of modern disease—and it’s not just affecting your joints or your heart. Research shows it can also impact your mood, memory, focus, and overall mental health. In many cases, inflammation is something you can influence. Here’s what helps: ✔️ A whole-food, anti-inflammatory diet ✔️ Plenty of colorful plants and fiber ✔️ Omega-3-rich foods like wild fatty fish ✔️ Fermented foods to support the gut microbiome ✔️ Regular exercise ✔️ Prioritizing restorative sleep Your brain doesn’t exist in isolation. The health of your body shapes the health of your mind—and addressing inflammation may be one of the most powerful ways to support both. Here's the link to my new mental health program, The Brain-Shaping Academy, where you’ll learn the science behind the brain-body connection and how to use nutrition and lifestyle to build a healthier, more resilient brain:
