Thank you for posting this. Your seminars on foot function and exercises have helped me make so much sense of lower leg and foot posture. I have reduced knee pain when riding a skateboard day after day over hundreds of miles and allow for a crazy amount of stability. After practicing short feet for a couple years I rode (a longboard) from fairbanks AK to Alberta in Canada and I felt absolutely solid and never had any knee aches. I wish I had known this back when I was a competitive racer.
In my day job I train development athletes. Your intrinsic foot exercises have helped me improve the power of my young athletes and move beyond injuries. Honestly so many knee exercises are prescribed by physios and guys like the KOT guy and they miss this part of the equation.
I have combined the hip airplane exercise with short feet and it has been a game changer for stabilizing my clients knees (and my own) and of course if you learn to do it with your eyes closed it's amazing for single leg balance.
I'm currently trying to fashion drills that help apply these principles through the motion of jumping so this video has come out at a wonderful time for me.
I'll be ordering your book asap too. I don't know how I missed it.
Thank you again Dr. Splichal,
To everyone else do these exercises multiple times per week.

Dear Dr. Splichal, I am developing hammertoes that are rotating, especially painful for the 2nd toe bilaterally. How can I prevent this from rotating even more? I’ll do these exercises, but any advice about the rotated hammertoes is appreciated. Thank you so very much.
