‼️ If you’re a rehab specialist, always look at the person in front of you first, do a good assessment, and choose if these exercises can (and should) be applied!
🙋🏻♂️ RATIONALE BEHIND THE CHOSEN EXERCISES?
Sometimes, high foot arches make feet rigid - which puts more load to the knee joint (poor load sharing between joints). Here are 3 important exercises that help load distribution and cover a bit of everything on top of that…
1. Wedge helping metatarsal pronation when load is over the working foot. Positive shin angle, higher quad load (using a band), and calf raises “kill few birds with one stone”. PS: Do it in non that painful range!
2. Positive shin angle unloaded pogos (progression variation) - the gold standard for lower limb health and load sharing smoothness… PS: Relax feet and find non-painful knee range!
3. Great co-activation variation (don’t lift heels too much in order to prevent over-supination)… PS: Relax toes and feet balls!
🙋🏻♂️ WHEN TO AVOID SOME OF THESE?
If having 5+ out of 10 pain while performing the specific exercise.
📢 My friend, if you liked the post, I want you to share it with friend(s) who have aforementioned issues. Feel free to comment, suggest, or ask anything (I didn’t cover many things)!
