Big Toe Pain When Walking?

This video uses my own left great toe pain as a discussion point for the concept of propulsion during the roll-over phase of gait.

Often times individuals will push off the great toe when walking, creating a scenario where the toe receives more force down into the ground. When pain in the toe is present, it provides feedback for the benefit of thinking of "pulling up" through the inner thigh and pelvic floor as opposed to "pushing down" into the ground.

Please comment with questions. Happy to discuss further!
