Thanks Dr. Splichal, that was a pretty detailed lecture on one small but critical aspect of the exercise. Instead of pushing the first ray down, as form of 'cue'ing' the patient, would it be better to cue them to instead to imagine sliding the first-ray back to mimic the reverse windlass effect while bending forward from the lower back? Would you be inclined in future videos to do a detailed breakdown on other aspects of the shortfoot exercise specifically the one that engages the pelvic floor and diaphragm with the breath cycle, possible cues etc; definitely more complex than the this video but even more critical to get right.

In your videos you keep saying core referring to the pelvic floor, however the way I understand it is that the transverse abdominis stabalizes the lower back releasing the hip flexor complex and holds the pelvis in neutral. I want integrate short foot into my program but I'm confused.

Basically what you noted in your short foot drill along with what you noted with our pelvis and breath.... This is the secret to hitting a ball 1000 feet... Seriously... and baseball people don’t take it seriously and give our kids the worse instructions.... At any rate, I love this drill but do you have any others that connect our foot with the deep front line... Thanks and your work is greatly appreciated...

Well, that was fascinating! As a yogi and massage therapist, I have always been highly respectful and aware of my feet--the foot, in general. But this information was more advanced than I have ever explored; I was intrigued. I also marveled at the concept of the "domes" of the body: I don't think I have heard them referred to in that way. To include the upper palate with the arch, pelvic floor, and diaphragm brought me full circle to the meditation and breathing techniques around which my yoga practice is centered. Thanks for an exceptional tutorial and explanation: Hail the foot!

Hi Dr Splichal, great video, I fractured my anterior malleolus, climbing, 13yrs ago, and, at the same time developed an osteochodrial defect of my talar dome. After 2 attempts at microfracture, my ankle/midfoot is fairly stiff. I cannot initiate short foot, at all, the closest i can get is by trying to roll my lateral malleolus outwards, is this the best way to get started on strengthening my foot and medial longitudinal arch ( which was pretty low to start with)? Thanks!

In case your not specifically pushing on your cuneiforme 1-3 I guess you won't have any problems with sesamoiditis :) Maybe we should take more care of our kneeposition so we don't in-/evert.

@JazzyScat4 жыл бұрын
I have hypermobility and of course some pronation. 1) When I push the tip of my toes down my second and third toes make a dent like 5mm below the nail. That part is down but the rest of the toe is up it doesn't follow down so it looks like a little stair. I don't think a repeated and unnatural movement of that phalanx joint is a good thing. 2) I have done a 12 week exercise program with a lot of one legged stabilization exercises progressing with elastic bands to increase the difficulty but all my lower leg and foot muscles burn and stay in a hardened state and I don't see much of and improvement in my arch and rotational chain to prevent the tendency for the pelvis to twist and to fall anteriorly. Why do you think that is? I'm about your size so weight is not an issue.
@chrisferrario15402 жыл бұрын
Thanks Dr! Do you recommend short foot exercises (with the exhalations and engaging all “domes”) beginning at 90 degrees ( holding for about 6 secs.) and then traveling the foot away from the body after each repetition or keeping the foot at a 90 degree angle with the leg? Thank you in advance!

That was amazing and your personal confidence as well - I am transitioning from traditionally arch supported feet to barefoot jogging etc. and I am well on my way - a couple of weeks and I still have some soreness in the arches but it gets less as time goes by - I am trying to do the short foot , golf balls , flexing both ways etc. BUT wouldn't be enough to just transition a little less arch support and a little more barefoot ( minimalist shoes ) over whatever time is necessary and trust the body's wisdom to make the adjustments without too much concern about all the extra prep ? I am doing niko niko slow jogging with forefoot strikes and short strides.

Great videos. Is there any benefit to do short foot on orthopedics out of shoe/ in shoe as well as barefoot? My reason is that with orthopedics helping your foot approach a "normal arch" , doing short foot will help with activation of the end range of the intrinsic muscles.
