And I can see how that's affected my knees, back and general movement. So I appreciate the foot strengthening exercises. Btw, the six pack abs on the foot in the thumbnail is hilarious.

I was thinking there are lots of reflex mechanics in running and jumping in which every person has a personal scheme, that could include pronated/overarched foot or valgus knee to maximize performance. Would you try to change this automatisms or would you use these exercises only in correction/prevention/rehab? Thanks

    First metatarsal head should be in contact with the floor (not so in the demonstration) while the heel and metatarsal head slide on the ground towards each other, when performing the “short foot.”It’s a difficult movement. Then you can practice hopping while maintaining that short foot position.

    I’m a US service member and former athlete. I’ve been dealing with bunions for years. It hasn’t lead to significant issues so far but if I make a career out of the military I feel it will eventually create an issue down the line. My question: do you think it’s possible to mitigate bunions (within reason) without surgery? If so, how? I think your approach to rehab and strength training is a modern and realistic approach. I understand you’re not a surgeon but if you have recommendations (other than wider toe box shoes) please lmk. I appreciate your hard work and diligence✌️
