Big Toe Mobility

After chatting with Dana and a couple of other individual clients about feet issues, I felt the need to delve into a little more about mobilization of the big toe/foot. The more I read into how much it effects mobility up the kinetic chain, the more I feel I need to both know about it, as well as test it.

After watching these guys chat about the static lunge, it makes me want to go back and review the tenants and the usefulness of the FMS. So much to learn about the foot, toe, and ankle.

  1. I love that you just wrote about big toe mobility. That's like joke you use to fuck with people.

    Client: "Well, I do yoga and active stretching on a daily basis, all of my flexibility issues seem to be gone."

    Rudy: "Oh yeah hotshot? Your big toe looks like shit. Work on that."

  2. Drywall, among your many other gifts are you also clairvoyant? That's almost exactly what happened. I showed Rudy how I can now Szot Press *and* SDHP on one supple leg simultaneously, and he tackled me, tore off my shoe and bent my big toe back to its end ROM, which was a slackerly 42 degrees. I have been doing neural training homework and burpees non-stop since.
