Thank you for this and other videos. I have one foot that is really messed up and this is a really helpful explanation. I've already been doing it for days with my splay toe spacers on.
I'm glad it's been helpful. Have you noticed a change in your feet? Are you curious about how your brain came up with a hammertoes solution to something?
@flowmovementtherapy2096 I haven't noticed a visible change but I am noticing a change a change in awareness of the gripping. And I'm working on my ankle and hip mobility as it seems tied to a long time tightness and weakness.
@@katylynnj good job sticking with it and noticing some connections between your foot patterns and areas further up. Are you doing anything to change how you are using the improved mobility in your ankles and hips?
I'll give it a try, hopefully my hammer toe will be reversed. 🤞 Today I read about the connection between toes (especially the second and third) and orthodontic manipulation and how a hammer toe can lead to problems in the head/TMJ area.
yeah there are a lot of connections between what your toes have decided to do and changes elsewhere in the body. Toes are often related to head and neck stuff.
5-10 repetitions where the toes stay completely relaxed, a few times a day. I can't say how long it will take to become permanent. This may or may not be the input your body needs, depending on why you have hammertoes.

Wow. I had both since childhood
how often and how long should you do it?
