Why Big Toe Mobility Matters

Показать описание
Don’t underestimate the power of the big toe! We won’t go as far to say the brute strength of your big toe matters, but the role it plays with balance and influencing movement up the chain is actually very powerful. Think about it, the big toe is one of the first things to touch the ground and move with any functional movement you do (yup I said the F word again).
On a serious note, your big toe AKA the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint and it’s ability to extend (point up) is really important for optimal movement❗️Did you know in an ideal world your big toe should extend at least 70 DEGREES, especially if you’re a runner?! That’s a lot of movement! How well your big toe moves is even more important when we are talking about lunges! In order to perform linear/straight forward-backward lunges you really want to make sure you have solid big toe extension mobility coupled with adequate ankle dorsiflexion mobility. If you don’t have these mobility prerequisites, you’re bound to compensate up the chain or create compensatory rotation force/stress at your ankle/foot/toes, which can aggravate your big toe and other structures in your ankle/foot!
