Ankle Stability Technique 3: Toe Grips

The toes and smaller muscles of the foot play an important role in creating a stable connection with the ground and controlling movement throughout the kinetic chain.

Adding resistance to the toes creates a greater challenge, and changing the position of the foot introduces torque from different angles, allowing foot and toe control to be challenged in multiple positions while developing strength, coordination, and stability.

The resistance bands and door hanger used in this technique are available for purchase through our online shop at https://www.templehp.com/gear/

Let's continue with the foot’s ability to actively control position and manage load.

Technique 2: Intrinsic Toe Raises target the smaller intrinsic musculature responsible for refined toe control while providing mechanical input to the tendons, ligaments, and articular structures of the foot.

This helps develop neuromuscular coordination, proprioceptive awareness, and dynamic foot control that contribute to efficient load management through the ankle and kinetic chain.

starts at the ground, with the toes, foot, and ankle working together to create a strong foundation for the kinetic chain.

Technique 1: Toe Raises helps develop muscular control while supporting the tendons and ligaments that contribute to ankle stability.

Strengthening these structures can improve how the foot and ankle manage load, balance, and movement.

✈️ Olympia, WA, we’re almost there!

This Saturday & Sunday, Paul Kelly is headed west for Physiokinetix: Spinal Kinematics.

Two days focused on understanding spinal movement, mechanics, and the kinetic relationships that influence how the body moves and performs.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, there’s still time to make it happen.

Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) flips the script on how most of us think about rehab.

These clients don't have a mobility problem. They have a control problem. The joint has plenty of range; what it lacks is a nervous system that can stabilize it through that range.

So the usual "stretch it out" instinct works against them, and the usual "load it" instinct could flare them up. What actually moves the needle:

🟡Proprioceptive and motor control work over raw strength
🟢Reps before load, not load before reps
🟣Proximal to distal: trunk and core stability before peripheral joints
🔵Closed-chain before open-chain
🟠Manual work kept gentle and mid-range, never chasing end-range mobility
⚠️Slow and patient progress. Months, sometimes longer, not a couple sessions

The takeaway for anyone doing hands-on or movement-based work: hypermobile tissue isn't fragile, it's lax and pain-prone. That distinction is what makes it something we can actually help with, as long as we're building stability first.

Want to go deeper on hypermobility, neuromuscular control, and how to build a safe progression for clients like this? Our upcoming Physiokinetix Training workshops and Member livestreams are your best bet!

A single treatment can create a change, but creating a lasting adaptation requires more than a brief exposure. Just like strength training, tissues and the nervous system need enough time and repeated exposure to a stimulus for meaningful change to develop.

This is one of the reasons we place so much emphasis on what happens between treatments and how we progressively load the changes we create on the table.

The goal is not simply a change. It is to give the body a reason to keep it.

One of the things we emphasize in Physiokinetix is what happens after hands-on work.

Creating a change in mobility is only part of the process. The body also needs an opportunity to actively control and strengthen that new range. Using controlled resistance allows the client to take ownership of the movement rather than relying on the therapist to create it for them.

This is where treatment and performance begin to work together.

To the clinicians who keep showing up, learning, refining their skills, and putting in the work to help others move and perform better, we see you.

Labor Day is a chance to recognize the work behind the work. The hours spent learning, practicing, treating, and continuing to grow as a clinician all add up.

Take advantage of 10% OFF the Physiokinetix Training Shop and keep building your toolkit with resources designed to support your practice.

A quick look at one of the topics we explore in greater depth during our Spinal Kinematics Workshop coming up in Olympia, WA on September 19 - 20!

Scoliosis is common, and the presence of a spinal curve does not automatically mean someone will develop significant limitations later in life. Understanding the individual, the severity of the curve, and how they move is often more important than simply focusing on the shape of the spine.

There is a lot to consider when comparing conservative care with more invasive approaches, and the research is worth exploring.

A quick look at one of the assessment and strengthening concepts we use in our training.

The infraspinatus, teres minor, posterior deltoid, and rhomboids all contribute to posterior shoulder control. Testing strength is important, but simply finding that a muscle can contract does not necessarily mean it has the strength or motor control needed for efficient movement.

Sometimes weakness shows up as a lack of smooth control rather than pain. That is where targeted isometric work can help reinforce the movement pattern and give the nervous system a better opportunity to organize the shoulder.

It’s a great example of why we look beyond the painful area and consider strength, control, and movement together.
