The BEST video on the foot and ankle EVER!!!!

[@Ronald-Butler]

I can’t wait to try these! The exercises seem like they would bring so much relief to aching feet & ankles. I’m rehabbing a torn meniscus, ankle sprain and stress fracture in my foot and I think this will help in every way, thank you!

[@shawnjbray]

Great video. I’ve needed to build my foot muscles to recover from drop foot. I’ve already gotten far enough to lift my foot a squatter inch off the ground before I found this video

[@susankovacs8678]

Love the animation. Exercises are great! Thank you!

[@Haridas991]

Thank you so much. I am suffering from a corn between the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal bones. This has affected my gait and I look forward to do these exercises.

[@EdwardsNH]

"Did you know your foot involves things you do with your feet?" Yes... yes, I did

[@GG_BigLog]

A planned video and they still decided to start it with that. I can only hope they're using AI.

[@jaimecherie3430]

There's always a smart eh!? 😂😂

Wellness fitness thank you so much appreciated DJ Johannesburg ❤

[@peacock1967mine]

Well explained video for strengthening the feet in less than 20 min. Great work!! It’s the best video I have seen that shows the problem and interventions. I’m glad that it shows the exercise plan from the beginning to strengthen as the muscle / tendon gets stronger. Thank you!

[@Zoeeyable]

Amazing, thank you❤

[@Lorax4good]

Very informative on why good foot health is important and achievable. Thank you for this.

[@K-Fred]

[@parv100]

Wow, well done !!! Thank You. The best, comprehensive feet video i've seen. Really a great "one stop shop" for taking care of and strengthening the feet. Keep up the great work :)

[@jouuueee]

This was a phenomenal comprehensive review of why it's important, what exercises, frequency and duration and the escalation to more difficult weight-bearing exercises. I have ruptured my plantar fascia three times now. The last time I was put in a soft boot for 8-10 weeks. My podiatrist never suggested physical therapy to recover. As a result, I continued to have pain and discomfort to the degree that I couldn't walk. Normally they put me back into a boot for another 6 to 8 weeks. I came out of that. The same issues. What did the boot do, it stripped my leg from the glute down to the foot of any strength and affected mobility. Mobility. The most obvious observation is that when standing on my right foot I cannot get onto my toes. No matter how hard I try, I cannot lift my heel, not even to slip a piece of paper underneath of it. That's weakness and it's weakness that stresses the ligaments and joints in the foot. Your video covers so much of what I wish I had before I put on a boot and after I took off the boot. I'm a year and a half into this miserable experience. I have spent thousands of dollars on orthotics and images. I have now seen four doctors, two podiatrists and two orthopedic specialists and I'm on my third round of physical therapy. Just because they're doctors doesn't mean that they have the answers or that they're going to give you good treatment that will solve your problem. I can honestly say my first podiatrist really did a poor job of evaluating and coming up with a good treatment plan from a to z. I got steroid injections. I even had my blood extracted spun and re-injected into my foot. Again, thousands of dollars spent many hours of work lost and it's taken me completely out of my activities, like tennis, boxing, swimming, running, hiking. I feel cheated and demoralized. I really appreciate the video you put together here. I'm definitely subscribing. Thank you so much

[@MrRhabibi]

Thanks for getting me started on this vital member least understood and most neglected body part❤❤❤

[@AjaychinuShah]

Great video by the way.

[@MovewithDrMike]

I am a big fan of performing single leg exercises barefoot so I'm glad you mentioned that in this video! There is nothing more challenging on your balance then performing a Hip Airplane or Single Leg RDL without shoes on! So many benefits to these exercises! Great video and very informative!

[@sophieamirian6726]

THANKS A WORLD ❤ VERY HELPFUL AND USEFUL VIDEO ❤

[@tamaracosta7090]

Congrats ❤

[@peacenow4456]

Excellent!! Esp. passive to active exercises...

[@user-tm6fe3su4z]

Thanks a lot

[@corinalymburner1121]

Recovering from turf toe (result of split jerk @ rear foot) and this is perfect, thanks so much for such a comprehensive review of foot strengthening👌

[@E3Rehab]

We also have another video on turf toe that might be checking out!

[@balbibou]

for the rebound jumps (plyos) I would suggest using/adding a jumprope which makes the exercise even better and more complex (and you include coordination + balance). Probably one of the most complete video about foot & ankles strengthening on YT. Amazing work

[@arborata]

thank you so so so❤ so much...

[@dirkharvey]

Thank you so much. In my left foot i've fractured the heel, first meta in 4 places, dislocated the 5th and broken the 3rd/4th. 3 different injuries and spent a lot of times on crutches/walking boots. I'm having terrible troubles with my left leg/knee/hip and I think it's stemming from my foot. It is always painful, weak and doesn't feel normal to walk on. I can barely control toes independently, going to get to work!

[@aletheia25]

Un video veramente ben fatto e completo. Complimenti!

[@Ana-ui5ep]

Muito top o vídeo. Grata. De Brazil

One word ...from France.....Excellent !

[@nomeolvidesful]

Excelente !!!

[@thomasditsas976]

I was crying from joy when I first saw your video; for people dealing with flat feet I also suggest "The Foot Fix" by Yamuna Zake, it provides the way to alternate the way we stand and walk.

[@arthursantos9702]

Excelent!

[@jah-leah]

actually a great video

[@orisisorisis6946]

Gracias, muy útil.

[@sibaneter]

Thank you for this fantastci video with so much descriptions and information. Follow & 👍

[@Adjektivity]

Excellent

[@NicolaPanzer]

I haven seen yet, but am just about to watch the video after extensive search for it. The old one from 2020 got deleted and I just noticed something was missing form the running playlist. Luckily had a printscreen somewhere to confirm that I found the channel.

[@margarethramos5203]

I'm having problems with my foot . Thank you.🇧🇷

[@gudrunclarke4976]

Wow. So much valuable information on just the foot. It will take me some time to digest and practise. Thank you so much. I am currently trying to rehabilitate my hip, and realised, that I cannot do it without also looking at the knee and the foot. The foot on the side of the problem hip is pointing outwards, and most pressure lands on the outside foot rather than the middle and the big toe. My inner voice has been telling me that I will not solve my hip problem without solving my foot position.....and then I came accross this video.

[@anneliolsson31]

👍

[@HelloCoffee8795]

keep rocking

[@jdiaz4877]

Thanks bro I recently injured my foot while walking on snow (Didn't warm up properly maybe) gonna use this to recover!

[@kimalonzo3363]

Barefoot?!

[@ojajebie]

Wow super cool content

[@juliegoyette9238]

🤩 wow! Very generous! 💯%

[@juliegoyette9238]

I became more aware of my feet muscles after four main injuries and one pinched toe nerve. 😅 this video is by far the most complete and thorough for feet muscles of steel! Thanks

[@minireshala8171]

I walk barefoot in the nature and this helps me too much to strong my feet’s 👍🍀

[@bajuszpal172]

Congratulations Sir, particularly for for your extra video presentations, comprehensible even even by those not speaking English. However, in my humble oppinion, a separation into beginner, intermediate or advanced sportsman/women level could have helped more

[@lushusblonde03]

I loved all of the information in this video! I’m currently in PT for plantar fasciitis and once that is healed, I will most definitely be incorporating foot strengthening into my weekly workouts. I’ve been dealing with it for 9 YEARS, and my focus really changed from anti-inflammatory to degenerative when I stumbled onto newer research. Building adequate foot strength is so important to avoid recurring PF and I wish my podiatrist would have told me to KEEP strengthening my foot, instead of suggesting corticosteroid injections, custom orthotics, etc. Thanks for your video!! 😊

[@Jump_Shock]

Yo how is the of going, I gotta rebuild mine as well

[@karinaj.mckenney1444]

Totally agree that podiatrists need to expand their horizons ever so much!

[@bestebassist]

I’m about there in recovery too, working on it for already 1,5 year. I still have to do the light excersies, but I’m pain free. This is the best info found.

[@lushusblonde03]

I ended up having a PRP injection done in March because I had a low-grade tear of the PF at my heel, an MRI showed. It’s been a long recovery, but I was told it would be. The initial pain has definitely started to diminish, but the immobilization I had to do for two weeks caused me some issues with my Achilles tendon and my posterior tibial tendon. Back to PT now and having success.

[@ellisfrancisfarros3935]

Can you please make a video regarding inguinal hernias, especially for men and if there is a family history of having one? And if a weak pelvic floor can lead go an inguinal hernia and if there are any exercises to strengthen them.

[@timguthrie3072]

Hi there - I am trying to realign my heel after becoming an excessive supinator, damaging my tendons. I'm currently trying to avoid a calcaneal osteotomy with tendon repair. These exercises will be brilliant. Do you - or does anyone - know of anything else - apart from orthotics etc that can help place the heel in a better alignment? Great video.

[@IlianaRaffa]

I love your video. It is very informative. I teach yoga trapeze and I always include foot exercises but your video has brought more knowledge. I would love to contact you. Thank you.
