There are no tougher customers in the body than the toes!
These Scrappy little guys’ critical role is to DIG IN TO THE GROUND so leg muscles can either move or hold us in place.

TEST: Try walking with your toes FLIPPED UP! Note the instability and foot stress!

The foot, ankle, knee, hip and low back collectively put our toes in place to grip!

PROBLEM: When the hips stiffen from too much sitting, the toehold is still needed to move! Toes don’t Negotiate – they don’t care how they reach the ground so long as they get there!!!

TEMPORARY SOLUTION: With tight hips, other joints are forced to Toe the Line & OVER-COMPENSATE by excessively rotating downwardly – a chronic stress!!

This is why Hip Stiffness is the common culprit behind chronic foot, knee, and low back pain – Toes get first billing to the detriment of all else!

Avoid the UNDERTOW of back, knee and foot problems!
