@pt_with_jt: When my country accent comes out this strong y’all know I’m being serious… Quick points on WHY pushing through the big toe is important: •increases muscle activation of the gastrocnemius and soleus (calf muscles) •strengthens the arch by tightening the plantar fascia (important for plantar fasciitis relief) • improves gait and running form by replicating the natural propulsion phase of walking and running (when your toe pushes off the ground) #calfraises #calfstrength #strengthforrunners #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapyhumor
