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.
