Why Big Toe Extension Matters!

This powerful little joint (1st MTP) is responsible for helping you move forward with every step, stride, or jump and maintains balance and stability throughout.

When big toe extension is limited, you may see decreased step length, increased stress at the calf, achilles, and even up to the low back, as well as pain or difficulty with lunging, jumping, walking, and running.

If you lack big toe extension, give this manual stretch a try.

Great for desk posture, overhead athletes, or anyone looking to improve their spine health ✨

Why pre-hab matters before going in for a total knee replacement: Read below!

✅ Building quad, glute, and hip strength beforehand helps you regain walking, squatting, and stair ability faster after surgery

✅ Improving knee flexion and extension before surgery makes it easier to get motion back afterward

✅ People who pre-hab often progress quicker with daily activities including walking, driving, balance, and have more confidence

if you’re considering a TKA or have one scheduled, investing in pre-hab can change your entire recovery experience.

Looking to improve your scapular control and activation? Don’t let a tight pec get in your way!!

🔑 Tightness of the pectoral muscles has been shown to inhibit the lower portion of the trapezius muscle. Also, tightness of the pecs has been shown to contribute to poor firing of the scapular stabilizers, including the lower traps! This causes the shoulder blade (scapula) to be elevated and tilted forward, often seen with a slouched posture. This can put the shoulder into an impinged position, especially with overhead activities 🏊🏼‍♂️🤾🏼🧗🏼‍♀️

Try these two stretches followed by performing a scapular posterior tilting motion (shoulder Ys) to improve your scapular control and minimize impingement!

✅ FASTER RECOVERY: No delays waiting to get into your doctor’s office means immediate PT Evaluation and Treatment
✅ COST- EFFECTIVE: Reduces the need for additional medical visits, unnecessary tests, and lowers healthcare utilization
✅ BETTER OUTCOMES: Physical Therapists have extensive training in the examination, evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention of patients with musculoskeletal impairments. Addressing these impairments early often leads to injury prevention and less need for invasive treatments
