Ball of the Foot Pain: Eccentric Flexor Hallucis Strengthening may help
1 comment:
Thank you very much for leaving a comment. Due to my time restraints, some comments may not be answered.I will answer questions that I feel will help the community as a whole.. I can only answer medical questions in a general form. No specific answers can be given. Please consult a podiatrist, therapist, orthopedist, or sports medicine physician in your area for specific questions.
This looks like an interesting exercise, however, I am a little confused with how to do it. In the video, is the guy pulling his big toe back by pulling on the theraband while simultaneously pushing the big toe forward using the muscles in his big toe? I had sesamoiditis which got better but for the past year I have had tendonitis of the flexor Hallucis Longus and am looking for help with this as it is quite debilitating. So this looks like it might be a good exercise for me.
