[@OurNewestMember]

How is it possible you keep blowing my mind like this? Who else is getting their mind blown?

[@ArthursAtman]

Adding this to my physical therapy regime--many thanks!

You're a wizard, Harris.

[@lilbees2618]

Connor, your videos are the best! I love your clear explanations. Not enough people/trainers address the feet. Thank you!

[@martingray8350]

Awesome I have terrible weak big toe and this side of my body hurts all the way up through my back. I’m gona give his a good go thanks

[@aaaagirl7360]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this!!! Anything is worth a try when your knockers are throbbing every day!!❤❤

[@kbaakash]

This exercise is magical, fixed the problem of external tibial torsion. Not sure how, but try it folks.

[@blueSfire77]

So you had a lack of tibial internal rotation and this increased your internal rotation? I have this problem on my right side so definitely going yo try this then!

[@kbaakash]

@@blueSfire77 yes i can move my knees out while squating easier.

[@blueSfire77]

@Aakash Chandhan very impressive results! Thx for your reply! Did you focus on all your toes during the exercise or mainly your big toe?

[@kbaakash]

@@blueSfire77 I focused on all toes

God bless you Conor 🙏🏾💪🏾

Craziest stretch in my foot that I’ve ever had. Super sharp stretch like a thin thread

[@christines.3380]

I’m going to try doing this every day and see if it helps with my knee, hip, and lower back pain. Thank you!!!

[@justinava1675]

This works very well thanks conor

[@stephanier1336]

Super helpful video, I have been having more foot pain in my early 30s. I will do these exercises! Thanks

[@RemiReagan]

Thank you for this!

[@c523jw7]

Thank you for this content. Really easy to follow and really interesting breakdowns. Great excercises, this has helped me alot!

[@pmccarthy001]

Good stuff... as usual. Clearly doing something since you definitely need to do the slant board and the calf stair stretch after these!

[@marlysargeant442]

Thank you for all the great videos Conner!… do you have any exercises that address turf toe?

[@davidbodis9979]

I swear, you are a wizard. 😄

[@davidwayne9982]

I got mashed between 2 trucks in 99 and messed up pretty good-- and have , for the last 24 years - dealt with pretty much constant pain and I've tried others exercises on here- and for some reason YOURS works. I'm checking out ALL your vides now.. ) THANKS.. I'm also considering training with the gymnastics method-- which begin with JOINT PREP first-- safely- and then STATIC exercises with flexing-- and dynamic isometris.. before working into calisthenics later...... Does that sound like a safe decent plan??? I'm 66 and overweight (working on that with Carnivore)...on top of the getting mashed between the 2 trucks.

[@evanpalmer2202]

I definitely need this. If I have external tibial rotation, on these exercises should I let my feet be pointed out, or start with feet pointing forward (knees want to go inward)? Thanks!

[@blueSfire77]

I have the same problem but only on my right side. What I would do prior to doing this exercise is to drill tibial internal rotation with the focus on driving your knees out while maintaining pressure on the inside of your heel as much as possible. If you have trouble with driving your knees out you could firstly stretch the internal hip rotators like the adductors, piriformis, anterior part of glute medius etc. After everything listed above it should be easier doing the exercise in this video while keeping your feet straight without your knees caving in. This way you won't enforce faulty movement patterns with recruitment of the hyperactive muscles that keep you in tibial external rotation and relative femoral internal rotation. I think it is also important to retrain movement patterns, teaching your body how to recruit the external hip rotators like the glute max. while having pressure on the inside of your heel a.k.a. tibial internal rotation. Connor has some great videos on these subjects!

[@ball1slife107]

Could you do one on wrist issues? Thanks a lot

[@alidalavezzari4103]

I gone barefoot and help. Thank-you for your videos.

[@CesarMartinez-wx6vl]

Thank you

[@BeeLayzTv]

Hey Connor, are you able to do a video or do you have any suggestions on how to fix a flat thoracic spine? I have FHP and my shoulders are all sorts of messed up. Either from an injury year ago or as a result of my thoracic spine. Have never been able to figure out the exact cause of my issues from other interventions, but I believe my flat thoracic has a lot to do with it. Thanks for all your helps so far !

[@Aleks93k]

Big thanks!

[@trbeyond]

Would you recommend one of these for posterior tib tendonitis? If so, is one option better than other ? Thanks for all the content !

[@Balrog6392]

Same here Conor, would love to get your opinion on Posterior Tibial tendonitis?

[@cm5160]

@@Balrog6392 3rd here! After an ankle sprain i always get posterior tibial tendonitis after running / jump roping. I know its most likely because i never rehabbed that foot but i'd like to see his input

[@joshlandis3414]

Check subtalar joint motion and ankle ligaments. Deep lower leg stuff is often related to intrinsic core relationships as well.

[@cm5160]

@@joshlandis3414 I'll look into it thank you man, anything to make my foot feel better

[@Boofbaff]

Is it ok to feel this in the quads as well? Or more so than in the lower calf. If not then what is going wrong?

[@meantares]

You be better camera angles and zoom-ins.

[@OneGazelle]

I think you're right, I really like this. However, I can't find anything to back up your bodyweight percentages in research. Also, would that percentage be different in athletes? Thank you, great content!

[@casparnigell5510]

Fantastic

[@maggiechan9485]

thanks conor, quick question, is there any specific instructions for bunions? like spreading the toes or doing a short feet position before pushing the knees forward. I feel like my big toe is squished to the other toes while there's a tendency for knee valgus when driving the knees forward. thanks alot!!! will be adding this to your other exercises in my routine for suree!! :)

[@marcibunn]

❤thank u!

[@steffenoksneselde7797]

Could it be beneficial doing a single leg version? I feel it quite a bit more in my right foot, especially underneath the foot.

[@ashleyspencer3664]

Does it matter if you have large differences in ankle flexibility between the two? Should you just hit the maximum you can on both?

[@AvsFan32]

I only felt this in my quads

[@chazaqs9109]

Looks like you found the spring ankle exercise

[@truestory923]

Only feel it in the quads

[@NowIknowCh]

My left big toe doesn’t feels much weaker compared to the right when I try to claw with the toes

[@xthinker2552]

Fantastic. But am little confuse. How about if ur left hip posterior compress. . As they call it late stance. With the anterior till at left . Will this help. . Pls. Pls pls pls

[@francoisiswatching]

I guess it might also help with hallux limitus?

[@LTD9392]

Totally unrelated but what kind of hoodie are you wearing here 3:10 ? I like the fit, I want one.

[@santiagofigarola]

For me weakness of the feet are mainly caused by conventional footwear, which are neither really considering the space needed by the feet (especially compressing the toes) nor allowing it to perform its functions. They also not allow for sensing the ground, which adds to the problem. A lot of feet support=weak feet, use it or lose it. That's why a lot of us choose to spend the most time being barefoot as possible, and wearing minimalist shoes.

[@Paganizondaf650]

I converted to minimalist shoes two years ago and my feet definitely got way stronger, but I’ll definitely still give these exercises a try

[@santiagofigarola]

@@Paganizondaf650 Yeah, there are good. In my case I can do pistol squats with all feet movements, so I don't think they'd be of much use to me, haha

[@AutoMotivate]

Option 2 will be perfect for ladys who wear heels, especially

Ever since I broke my second toe over on my right side, I felt my whole right leg become weaker

[@mickeymadmouse]

is there any way to fix feet stiffness? It works to do some intense workout but you cant do it at work or similar places or like 3 minutes before leaving. Is there any exercise to not feel your feet like tofu?

[@catedoge3206]

This is not good to do if you already have hammer toes, is it?

[@niconine268]

[@justinava1675]

Hey Conor do you know why doing this also made my hip align properly and fix my jaw gnawing sensation from it

[@OurNewestMember]

Could you "feel" this also in your hips, obliques (?), knees, back, etc? (If so, I wonder... Could broader engagement both help to stabilize any shaking but also go on to benefit other range of motion activities?) Also I wonder: is it possible to generate warm sensations (eg, from added circulation) under the skin which can persist for more than one hour after the activity?

[@ydezayydezay2038]

I’d like to note that the hruska clinic recommended shoes most definitely don’t “strengthen” people’s feet. Those weighty shoes remove our intuitive connection from using foot muscles to move.

[@snakeace0]

Would Toe spacers enhance the exercises ?

[@clausthalerstudentin]

[@mjchecksfield914]

It helps if you go barefoot a lot.

[@celall58g]

My right foot is weak because of hours of driving, the body leans to the right , even if i fix the foot, left foot and knee, even the whole bone of the leg is thicker and is strong as iron because of pressing the hard clutch a million times, This caused the hip tipping over, the spine, neck, jaw, face, even till my eyes, everything is torn, couldnt fix it with 2 years of trying, think im fucked

[@notanindianscammer3660]

is it only me or every technique you do gives great results but only last for a day then it never works again?

[@newnasavideos]

Yes, you have to progres as everything in lige, dude

[@yipperdeyip]

@@newnasavideos According to these KZbinrs you need to do a million different things a day to properly function. It's all mundane too. Who even does this stuff and who even has time for it? People would rather just pick up some sport and enjoy themselves instead of all these little weird stretches and stuff

[@sleepsweetasmr]

@@yipperdeyip stretching is one of the most important things you can do for your body. if you don't find the time to take care of your body when you're young, you'll be forced to find the time as you get older. exercise is one basic component of health and longevity and that's not a mystery. sports are a great form of exercise, and stretching should be included both as a warm up and for recovery.

[@DROLETRON]

You're not suppose to do it everyday, do it once every 2 days. Doing this everyday will weaken your already weak feet and cause pain.

[@michaelsarzen2814]

You cant just do an exercise once and expect the pain to go away
