I watched you religiously 7 years ago. You got me through a tough breakup as a young man as I turned my attention to the gym as one does. Using your videos, I went from a thin and weak 120lb to a very strong and healthy 145lb! I lost motivation surprisingly after joining the military due to multiple reasons, but within the last month I've reignited my motivation. Lost 15lb already, and I'm making remarkable strength progress despite the short period of time. Not sure if you read these comments but just know, you've been a very positive influence in this dude's life. Continue the great work! Knew the go-to guy in catching myself up with tricks of the trade when it comes to hypertrophy. I'll be back to if not greater than I ever was within 6 months!

I injured my knee jogging and hiking about 20 years ago, and it hasn't been the same since. I still like to do a lot of walking and less hard-core hikes but about 4 years ago I started getting Plantar fasciitis on the foot of my good leg and that in turn caused both my knees to flare up as I tried to compensate for the foot pain. I've described this weird sensation of forgetting how to walk without hurting myself to my physio, but I don't think she understood. This guy has described the issue very well. I suspected that hip and heal position were both contributing to the problem. I'll try this out. If it works, I'll post in 12 months if I remember to do so.

I tried everything when I had it due to wearing baseball spikes. I tried stretching, strengthening, PT, gel shoe insert, cortisone shot ect. nothing worked for me. I cured mine by using the infomercial shoe inserts Walk Fit. It took 2 months to cure it. You have to follow the instructions. when you first start wearing them you can't wear them for more than a few minutes without getting foot pain. You gradually wear them a little longer and a little longer each day. Here it is 10 years later and I have walk fit inserts in every pair of shoes I have, I'm still playing baseball and I've never had plantar fasciitis again. That's what worked for me.

This pain really has messed up my life for 6 years. I blame it on a pair of Reebok shoes i wore one summer. It was so bad id have to wrap my foot in a ice pack just to be able to fall asleep. Luckily ive found some new shoes that have helped stop almost all of my pain. I spend 10 hours on my feet a day and its really been life changing. Stretching does help but after so many years my planters fascitis has caused bone spurs under my tendon on my heal and on the side of my foot. So calf raises on my right foot hurt pretty bad before my left calf burns out. Its just something ive had to live with for years.

Jeff your idea is based on stretching the calves without stretching the fascia which lengthens as the foot arch collapses. But on the other hand max calf stretch occurs with the foot arch dropped and the foot in pronation. In my case supination of the foot triggers the fascia and to make it go away pronation with a calf stretch helps. Can you explain a bit more detail as to why supination is helping here. By supinating the foot you're also taking away the calf stretch in the frontal plane and only stretching through the saggital plane.

The bumps in front of the tibia below both knees are causing lots of pain when trying to kneel and returning to standing position for almost a year. Some tenderness when pressed. No problem with walking or passive bending of the knees. Glucosamine, rosehip, collagen II pills not helping. I think it started with daily rapid movement of the knees for 2-3hrs (like an Elvis knee dance move) for 2 months and some sprinting.
What movement exercises can fix it Stretching /- strengthening of the quad or glute

High Jeff I had Perthes' disease as a child and had both my hips reset through traction and a cast. I am now 52 years old, over weight and have issues with both my knees and ankles when walking any distance. I tend to wear the outer heel on both all foot wear showing a weakness in muscle alignment. After using the method in the video improve if I use resistant bands to create further stretch Great video and the first video that I have seen which addresses the issue I face.

All of these foot problems can actually start clear up in your hips, and/or the knee. My massage therapist has to loosen my hip then my inner thigh then my knee then my calf then my foot in that order in order to deal with my foot problem. All connected / related. My foot problem was caused by repeated bouts with gout swelling up my foot then I had to lean on the outside of the foot in order for it to hurt less when I took a step. Bad habit forced by medical problem.

My left shoulder joint seems to be loose in the socket I havent’ injured it at least that I am aware of. but it pops and hurts as if it is come out of the socket. also I am losing range of motion in certain directions. should I push more in the direction im losing motion After watching this video makes me wonder if there is something else outside the shoulder causing this. maybe you could do a video about this if you have already I haven’t seen it. Thanks

It's a different healing process for everyone, I had it for 3 years and tried everything. Thing that cured it for me was buying a foot roller, using that religiously before bed and in wake up but most importantly - bought a foot brace which keeps your foot in an standing braced position. Spent 12 months sleeping with this boot on but it eventually got better and in 12-18 months it was all gone. I can sprint again. Also feet strengthening also helped a bunch too

What happens after the pain is gone. I had PF and now I don't have the pain but my foot is flat now and I don't have the arch like my other foot has. I feel when I work out legs that my left foot now doesn't like my knee going past my foot. My body weight is good and I can feel my quads, but it doesn't take much weight for my body to think it can't handle it and now things are messed up for working out legs. Hope that makes some sense.

Jeff I would really appreciate if you could help me with a problem. Restricted dorsiflection on the right foot. Stretching is not helping. I get discomfort/pain on the outer side of the heel, where one scar is. I had surgery to both my feet but my right one is not unlocking no matter how hard I try. I have no control of thumb and pinky on thst side too. Any clue Maybe just about the anatomy of the muscle of the feet and their function

As a physical therapist, I agree with everything here! I treat clients virtually and work almost exclusively with people who have foot pain. These two exercises, or similar ones, are almost always in my exercise programs. I would add that depending on foot type, strengthing the intrinsic muscles of the foot and getting the foot in proper alignment are also super important components to solving plantar fasciitis. Awesome video!

61 years old - injured right PF 7/23 during a farmers carry. Wasn’t first time doing exercise and built up the weight accordingly but must of been the final straw. Blamed it on using worn worthless nothing shoes - my fault I know. Still have occasionally pain/issues have used night splints with good results. Will begin a daily routine with these stretches. After seeing this video I believe weak glute to be a part of the problem.

so i run on Sundays and do the stretching warm up sprinting jogging kicking football zig zag way for a lap. sometimes when i laying on bed. i feel a sharp pain but when i walk around for a while. it gets better. so i am one of those who put the toes first and definitely at some point there could be pressure on mid foot after watching your vdo. what do you reckon which type of runner you'd prefer. heels first or toes first

Fellow PT here. Great exercises. I will humbly add that the posterior capsule of the ankle needs to be mobilized otherwise you are going to limit overall improvements and prolong the rehab. This dx should only be 2-4 week rehab. Use a belt put in on your ankle with the other end on something stable. Get some tension in the belt and do the same movements and stretches. This will greatly improve the effectiveness.

Had the agonizing issue on my left side for 3 years. Combination of arch support insoles, calf/solus stretching, hip abduction exercises, rolling foot over ice bottle, deep massage and 2 steroid injections finally alleviated it but now have it on my right side.
Thanks to your video I'll implement the step- over stretches and more hip work which has barely been touched uponby other prefessionals. Thanks!

A well timed video Jeff. Mine is in full meltdown and has been for weeks. My gate has been a mess due to chronic pain from gout (recently found out I have a condition which causes my body to produce crazy amounts of uric acid and no it’s not obesity ) causing me to walk all kinds of weird. I’ll try this stretch daily now that I’m on the mend

I have used your suggestions for low back pain and shoulder impingement, and for the first time in a decade, I'm sleeping better and have been without back and shoulder pain.
Definitely will be doing this program as well. Luckily, it's not too bad.
Do you know what could cause foot cramping
Thank you

Jeff, I’ve been watching you for years and years but this one could not have come at the most perfect time. Been dealing with PF for maybe 8 weeks now and I’ve been doing the rolling and stretching but now you’ve given me the tools I really needed all along. Thank you as always! #ScienceBackIntoHealth
