DWMA Corrective of the Week 3.17.16

The goal of the short foot exercise is to “shorten” the foot by flexing the big toe to raise the medial longitudinal arch. Be sure the foot is in neutral alignment and toes are not flexed or extended. The short foot exercise is best learned seated and can be progressed to standing, single-leg standing then to dynamic activities like squats, a deadlift, lunges and hops. It should also be noted that being completely barefoot enhances sensory input detection from the plantar surface of the foot and helps develop the sense of creating the short foot movement-posture.

Finally, when assigning your corrective exercises, remember this golden rule: Anytime we increase mobility, we must increase stability.
