Active toe-extension & flexion
PRE-/REHAB: Feet, ankles, knees & hips
•
10m
THE WHAT & HOW:
These simple tools contribute toward an effort of regaining the most basic functions of the feet. Whilst valuable in rehabilitative contexts where the feet/toes have been injured or for prehabilitation where appropriate, more generally it is simply "regaining" what has been lost through culturally-selected footwear which both weakens & deforms the feet in the long-run.
Beyond physiological development, these contexts also develop their SENSITIVTY (e.g. to pressure against the ground & the shifting of one's weight over them) and consequential RESPONSIVENESS of the feet, significantly informing & affecting all bipedal activity.

Ankles & toes mobilization routine 1.0
THE WHAT:
A routine whose purpose it is simply to express the ranges of the ankles & toes in a largely 'open kinetic-chain context' (OKC), from A1 - A6. This means that the extremities are expressing movement whilst the rest of the body is stationary, allowing for more freedom of range through wh... -
Standing 'Hinge & fold' (breathing form)
THE WHAT & HOW:
Whilst primarily a breathing-frame, one which combines controlled inhalation & exhalation with a maximal "hinging" stretch of the lower posterior-chain and “folding” to a seated position on the heels, it also serves as a low-intensity prehabilitation context for the knees in deep ... -
Standing 'perch & pray'
THE WHAT:
A squatting pattern taking you though maximal extension, high up on the toes, to maximal flexion, body curled toward the floor in a wide-open passive-squat. With such a narrow base of support, balance, structural-stability & integrity are at the forefront of practice through every momen...
