Dr. Shawn Allen of The Gait Guys speaks about proper stabilization of the medial foot and arch. Muscle specifically discussed are a team: FHB (flexor hallucis brevis), AbDuctor hallucis, and tibialis posterior. He discusses the functional anatomy, normal and pathologic movement patterns of the arch and first ray complex and big toe (hallux). His foot's ability to show the optimal patterns for the arch and hallux are excellent examples. Follow up videos and DVDs will show more details you need to know, and some of the exercises he and Dr. Ivo Waerlop use to restore a foot that has lost these abilities. The DVDs are in the works. Take their lectures and CME on www.onlineCE.com. Visit them at www.thegaitguys.com and on their facebook PAGE & Twitter of the same name for daily feeds of unique things.

  • Excellent Video! Do you have a few video's regarding strengthening exercises for the muscles of your foot.

  • Hi Dr. Allen. For the past 2 months I've been experiencing a burning sensation accross the outer end of my big toe if I stretch my right foot in front of me and point my toe down as far as possible. It feels as though there is a tendent or muscle which is shorter than normal or not in the right place. The pain is so intense that I get the feeling that I'll rip a tendent or something if I try to point my toe to it's maximum - the burning sensation increases the further I stretch. Can you help?
