Restoring Natural Foot Function

FULL EXERCISE PROTOCOL There are two KEY variables to the equation of eliminating neuroma pain

1. Foot Environment
2. Restorative Mobility/Exercise

Toe Spacers

I send every client a couple of pairs

A cheap tool easily utilized during the process of restoring natural foot function

These are the styles of Toe Spacers I do (& don't) recommend Active Spacers

These spacers have loops around the Big & Pinky toes

This is beneficial when walking around/during training sessions

The outer loops are like the straps on Crocks- 4wheel drive mode

You have Foot Pain because you have weak, immobile feet.

You keep shoving them into over-cushioned, ultra-supportive, narrow toe’d shoes…but your feet still hurt.

Here are 5 daily exercises you can do to build stronger, pain free feet: 🧵 1. Calf Raises with a Ball

-Point toes slightly outward
-Squeeze the ball between the heels
-Raise the heels while maintaining the squeeze
-Keep pressure through the outer 2/3 of the forefoot & toes

Plantar Fasciitis Sufferers!

If you've tried everything from
-frozen water bottles,
-cortisone shots,
-calf stretches.
-night splints,

& STILL HAVE PAIN, the reason why will shock you

This may be the exact reason you’re dealing with this frustrating pain 🧵

In 2003, a study by Dr. Harvey Lemont revealed something shocking about plantar fasciitis

He biopsied 50 patients, expecting to find inflammation

Instead, he found ZERO signs of inflammation

What he discovered was much more concerning...

If you suffer from Over-Pronation
(Excessive Flat-Foot)
you should know..

Relying on supportive insoles or shoes to manage the issue is often a false hope.

Instead you NEED to LEARN TO CONTROL this movement

Here are 5 EXERCISES TO HELP SOLVE OVER-PRONATION Pronation is a necessary movement the body uses to ABSORB SHOCK

5 EASY Steps to un-f*ck your Feet 🧵 1. Address your shoe-tuation

18 Harsh Truths about Foot Health you won’t hear from the “experts.”

1. Fallen arches & flat feet are fixable

But your arches shouldn't rely on artificial support

There is an internal support system that can be strengthened within your feet 2. Children’s feet are most susceptible to the damaging effects of modern footwear

Feet do not fully develop until the age of 12 Until then, their feet are extremely moldable

If I only had 10 minutes to work on my foot health, this is exactly what I’d do

(**Can be done at home)

1. Banded Arch Facilitations

(2 sets of 10-15 reps each foot) 2. Toe & Mid-Foot Self Mobilization

(2 minutes each foot)

5 Easy Steps to help Correct Bunions

1. Perform Corrective Exercises

-Improves Range of Motion
-Increases Strength From the Ground Up
-Helps Re-Claim Mind to Muscle connections throughout kinetic chain 2. Avoid what caused your Bunion

Narrow toe box shoes & socks are the #1 cause of Bunions

Over time, narrow toe'd shoes mold & weaken the muscles within the feet

This leads to
-A weak arch
-Increased joint pain
-Altered movement patterns

Runners dealing with nagging Foot &/or Ankle Pain

You should be doing these 5 exercises

1. Toe Flexion & Extension

-Expect a few pops/cracks in the toes
-Great for opening up the foot & ankle
-Toe Flexion is not commonly performed, but is key for foot health 2. Forefoot Squats

-Great for Quad & Soleus Strength
-Translates to mid/forefoot strike durability
-Increases stability through the ankle complex
-Helps increase Achilles Tendon load tolerance

12 MUST KNOWS when buying your first pair of Barefoot Shoes

1. They’ll completely change your view on what makes a “Healthy Shoe”

Once you switch to BF shoes, you begin to despise all “normal” narrow toe’d, ultra cushioned shoes 2. There is a very necessary transition process

A lot of people make the mistake of going all-in too quickly

You’ve likely been wearing conventional shoes for 3, 4, 5+ decades

It will (should) take months to transition

If I woke up with Plantar Fasciitis, these are the exact exercises I’d add to my weekly routine

1. Calf Raise with a Ball 2. Toe Flexion & Extension Isolations

Children’s feet are most susceptible to the damaging effects of modern footwear

Feet do not fully develop until the age of 12-18

Until then, their feet are extremely moldable

Here’s exactly what you need to know to keep your child’s feet healthy 🧵
(shoe list included) When a child is born they have 22 bones within each foot.

By the age of Three, the number of bones doubles.

During this period of time, the bones are not fully hardened, & the child’s feet are incredibly malleable.

Woke up with stabbing heel pain again this morning?

Doc Google diagnose you with plantar fasciitis?

Over the last two years, I’ve helped 68 people completely reverse plantar fasciitis

Here are the exact steps I take them through 🧵 Step 1: Educate

-Most cases of Heel Pain are not due to inflammation, but a lack of blood flow

-Super cushioned, overly supportive, & narrow toe’d shoes are one of the leading cause of plantar fasciitis

-The Big Toe is responsible for a strong Arch

Morton’s Neuroma is a consequence of wearing overly narrow toe’d shoes

Narrow shoes squeeze the bones of the foot together

This narrows the tunnels nerves are supposed to travel through

Narrow shoes also concentrate pressure onto the neuroma site vs having a wide-toe, flat shoe that allows pressure to be widely dispersed

In reaction to the narrowing tunnel & pressure, the body’s reaction is to develop a growth within the tunnel

The growth entraps & tangles the nerve causing pain

The pain often feels like standing on a pebble, but more sharp & fiery

(How to fix it in post below) First obvious step:

Remove what caused the Neuroma (Restrictive Footwear)

Transition into wide toe box, zero drop shoes

These shoes will allow proper expansion of the bones in the feet

As well as help evenly distribute pressure over the entire foot
