Stretching Toe Point

Someone made a request of me how to improve their toe point. I told him to stretch his feet along with the muscles behind the knee. He asked me how to stretch your feet so hopefully this will be a good visual. These are the ways I stretch my toe point. I learned these techniques from different contortion teachers over the years and a Russian handbalancer. I'm trying to improve and maintain the extension of my ankle joint and curve of my toe point. You'll see in this video I'm applying weight and pressure to my foot stretches. As a contortionist over the years, I've learned a lot about applying your body weight to stretches and to stretch all parts of the body. By using the floor mat and wearing my shoes, I do not experience pain or discomfort - it actually feels great.

Stacy, you have great mind, body awareness my friend. The obvious benefits of toe point (especially in line work cannot be underestimated). I'm even using it on my human flag variations and it helps me lock my quads and glutes into place. Keep posting man- great stuff! -Respects, Steve

I'm a diver and my toe point is horrible. I really need to work on it, but I recently had to get shoulder surgery, so I can't really pull or push on my feet. Any suggestions to improve my toe point until I can do what you did in this video? Thanks in advance :)
