In this video, I show professional massage therapists how to identify and massage the "flexor hallicus longus" that might be the cause of "foot arch pain." Deep tissue massage on the bottom of the foot can bring relief to soreness and pain in the arch.
😮😊
Finally there is an arch pain massage.
Thank you for sharing this information. I'm 74 yrs old, walk 3 miles up & down hills 3-5 times weekly and just last week developed slight pain in the arch. I'm working on my foot now. Hoping for a good outcome & another 20 yrs of walking 🤞
This is the exact pain I have in my foot. Amazing how easy it was to find this. Thank you!
This relieved the foot pain that was BURNING for hours on end thank you!
This video is exactly spot on! Excellent information.
Looked up so many videos and yours was spot on. At first I didnt think I could continue the massage but it got easier and better. Thanks
Thank you. Most informative.
So helpful!!! Thank you!

Omg..was in pain all day. Thank you for the vid! I am going to try this
Thankyou sovso much brother. God bless you
Very good tutorial .

Thank you so much man 👌🏾really appreciate iy
OMG!! I see this video is 2years old. When I tell you this is the 5th of 2023 and I just start googling about this arch pain. Never even knew we had 4 arches. And this is the Inner Longitudinal this man is dead on spot. I thought because me Diabetic I had to run back to my doctor. Me being off for two weeks and wearing these flat shoes did this. Thank you sooo much. This has released sooo much pressure and saved me a trip from the doctor. Thank You!!!♥️♥️
Thank you
Thanks so much!!!! I am going to try this ❤❤❤
That’s exactly where my pain on my foot is at. It feels like it is bruised in that area. Where you said where people are going to be jumping as you go up, that’s exactly where it is the most sore for me
Thank you so much 🤩
I have really bad arch pain but this exercise didn’t do too much and it’s not very tender, it was nice to loosen it though. But could that mean it’s more that my hips aren’t where they should be? (Which is my suspicion as I have a lot of hip joint pain and my knees want to turn inward)
Edit 2 months later: I’ve learned a lot since this comment. My hips are in fact out of alignment causing my knees to kind of bend towards each other, not enough to notice unless I’m paying close attention. Something that really helps is sitting in a chair with both feet on the ground, about shoulder width apart. Then taking my fist, or two and placing my fist on the inner part of my knee and squeezing both knee’s together as hard as I can, (like I’m making a knee-fist sandwich, to help imagine what I’m saying if I wasn’t clear). Often times, when my arches are particularly hurting I’ll feel a little click in my sit-bones, especially on the left as this is my particularly bad side. It’s the most bizarre thing to then start walking around because all my weight will be off my arch and back to the outer ridge of my foot, where it should be. So I hope someone finds this helpful!
I have been having pain right in the spot you described ever since i was a little kid! I called it "My Bee Sting" because when i'd accidentally bend my foot a particular way while walking it felt like stepping barefoot on a bee and getting the stinger stuck in your foot- i didnt know how to describe the pain any other way. I'm now 36 and its bothered me on and off since childhood, but in the past 5-10 years the pains have gotten more frequent- eith periods of flare-ups. My big toe flexion has lost a lot of its strength. It trembles easily and gives out when trying to push the tip of my big toe into the ground. The distal joint of my big toe also now hyper-extends almost as much as it flexes. I've also been noticing that my big toe will rise upward on its own like its preparing for lift-off, or as if a helium balloon is tied to it! Happens whether im sitting, lying down or standing. I have to consciously remind myself to push my big toe back down toward the ground. I think this lifting is occuring at both the proximal and distal joints of the big toe, but the distal joint actually feels really rickety and crunches a lot with passive flexion and extension.
Anyway my question is, are there any chronic disorders/diseases/conditions or structural abnormalities that would cause this to start in a kid so young- 4 or 5 years old and continue for several decades?
I did this massage to my foot and had some relief. Going to look for a qualified professional and get the job finished!
Came across your video and found it very informative. Thanks ! My husband has been doing alot of yard work outside.His One foot has a very high arch so is the exercise done the same way on both.?
Great job in showing how to relieve arch pain. I recently had ankle fusion surgery and TAR due to an injury 12 years ago and my arch on the operated foot became flat and noticeably much flatter than the other foot with now having pain in arch and heel. I’ll try your massages. Thanks for the demonstration!!
You are purely amazing. Thank you. I never felt pain but once I started massaging this particular area it hurts me so bad I had to stop now when i press it it is sore 😢
Omg I did this on myself and that guitar string you mentioned, I can see it! And feel it and it huuurrrtttsss so good once I get to digging 😂
Thank sir, now i got my solution of my feet problem ❤
It started few days back,though i don't run but walk in treadmill .I was wondering y it pains in the foot. this video helps.will try.thanks.🙏🏻😊
Thank you so much, ive been suffering from planter fasaciitis for over 3 months, i get acupuncture once a week which seems to help as well as i do lots of stretching. I will try thus massage on myself ,❤Maybe I should see a massage therapist?, im think I know what you would advise, 😊,
Been an LMT for 6 years, also an LPTA. Great info! Working with a patient s/p ankle fusion and they’ve had a lot of pain along FHL along with significant weakness. Been difficult to work on strengthening due to the pain. Will try this and some active release techniques and hope it works! Thanks!
How did it go?
Suis fan !!! 🤩🤩🤩
Thank you for posting this! I just started walking around in Oofos slides and my FCL tendon hurt a little before but after a few days is quite painful (like you mentioned with people wearing orthotics). I have high arches. I got the slides to hopefully help with my achilles tendonitis. So should I not do orthotics or arch support slides?
Another Golden nugget of REAL WORLD effective therapy. Sure glad I found your video site! I appreciate your sharing the physiology of our often neglected, often over-used tendons, ligaments, muscles, cartilage. I've used several of these on myself with favorable results.
THANK YOU.
Your welcome
Game changer
Hello doctor, I would like to ask. I have this vibrating-like feeling under my right foot on its left side (inner arch part), upon palpating the area, I can feel that it pulsates upon vibration, one time I walked it hurt like having something pinched inside (I don't know if it's cramps or something is really pinched)- it was painful that I had to stop walking. I've been having this for 2 days now. I tried massaging the area, it does help to be relieved for a while then the vibrations goes back. I mostly feel the vibrations when lying down or sitting. Stomping my feet makes it painful as well like that prickling feeling. No numbness nor burning sensation.
I searched it up online, and said I may have pallesthesia and it can be a cause of compressed nerve or blocked artery. What could this really be? Want to do home remedies for it, what can I do?
Hi Doug- I am a regular runner, and recently been experiencing a pain(off and on at times) along this tendon right behind the forefoot. Did a ton of research and kept getting steered to plantar fasciitis….but my heel is fine. Using KT tape for support…..helps a little…but still some pain. On the order of pain scale….pretty much a 2-3 on scale of 1-10..but it is there; I pay a lot attention to pain because it could indicate an oncoming injury, etc. I can walk - and I notice it - but it does not affect my gait. Thanks for video and stretch/massage information - hope it helps.
you are exactly describing the problem I have in my foot too. For me I also noticed that it is particulaly painful when I pivot (ie. weight on the front & twisting position, like in yoga sometimes)... Hopefully this will help
Oh my gosh, I did to my foot what you did and I almost screamed, I have arch pain 24/7 and that strip is so painful. I can't stand to touch it again. What's bad is that it's both of my arches.
You’re going to need to go get physical therapy massages like this then.
I only get it occasionally and it seems bad then. I couldn’t imagine feeling that 24/7 so bad you can’t touch it. I can message that spot on the foot for several minutes then stay off it for an hour or two and then I’m back to pain free walking.
I hope you get relief soon!
Same here in both feet. I've been a truck driver for nearly 15 years and temporarily been working in a retail job as a overnight lumber stocker and being on that concrete floor is killing me. Been there almost a year and the job requires a lot of walking in steel toe boots and a lot of getting on and off equipment. It hurts so bad I have trouble sleeping during the day. It's like having stepped on a really big nail in both feet and walking around without pulling them out. The pain is absolutely unbearable and if I bump them in my sleep, it sends me through the roof and I'm on the floor nearly in tears from the pain. It sucks horribly.
@@charlesstevenson5141if you can bear it, I understand that there are podiatric massage treatments to help that kind of condition usually done by physical therapists
Look any video named like: “MMA fighter fixes flat foot” or something to that degree. Kinesiology seems to have answers for arch-of-foot pain
Same!for two years now.. have you found the right trestment?
I have pain here & also get cracks pop when I stretch it.. wat shld I do to reduce cracks pop???
I have so much tightness in the muscle; and a lump on my arch that hurts when applied pressure.feels so tight when I move my big toe
Mine does pop like crazy
Very helpful, thank you.
I was wondering how often can this be done in a day? Do you massage until the pain goes away, like days, weeks, etc. Need relief and it is very difficult to find a professional massage therapist who has the knowledge you have. Please let me know. Thank you.
as much as you can take every day. most people are sore the first few weeks.
Mines always soooo tight and happens frequently what’s the cause of it I spent 10 years working in a underground mine now a mechanic and my feet are giving me hell
I have this pain sometimes when I am walking, but it is most intense when I am lying down, mostly when I am trying to sleep. As someone else posted, it feels like an intense bee sting in the area.
If its worse when youre trying to sleep I would suggest checking to see if there are any nerve issues.
Cute🤗
Does tool like roller help with this treatment?
Not really. Thumb pressure is better at stretching the tendons.
@@hollandmassagereflexology2000 Good to know that. Thank you 🙏🏽
Every time i try to stretch out my toes or rub my feet the damn thing clenches up and wont let go
I've been having problems with my big toes clicking, popping, and getting locked up and every time I try stretching the toe joint, I get a cramp along the hallicus longus. What would be the solution to my problem?
I have the exact problem in the left foot. I think we need deek tissue massages to loosen the tightness. I can feel the tightness all along the inside of my foot, and of recently I have realised the foot is cracking and not always the big toe.
Why do i have a bumpy rocky feeling when i use my knuckle to rub again the tendon?
Inflammation. I keep rubbing until they are gone.
I have this pain in both feet. Can this condition be caused by playing the drums?
Probably, do you point your toes down when you press the pedal or do you keep your feet extended like he extends the patient's toes to see the tendon? If you stay in one position too long then it just gets repetitively used causing it to tighten up.
I get pain in my right foot like this from using the pedal on the piano
Dude I play and I’m in painnnnn
I've had this pain for 3 years and haven't walked with a nor all stride in that amount of time. I would scream and kick if I were to press on my tendon like that. Been to 2 specialists and have zero relief. Now my knees are terrible from not being able to flex my foot when I walk. Not sure what to do.
Start doing self massage on your feet daily, very slow, little by little, s as much as you can take
Hey!same here!have you found the solution?
Should this tendon feel bumpy like a spinal cord almost?
No. It should be smooth. Keep working it over weeks to make it smooth. The small bumps you feel will fade away.
That doesn't look like it would help arch pain at all. My husband gives the best foot massages, and I find that when he does a pinching motion all the way down my arch, it feels wonderful. Know one can beat my husband or has even come close to massaging my feet as God as he does.
Your husbands a knob
This person has a flat foot...
Yeah? What about it? Tell me, I'm really interested... Cause I need to know if that's bad or not.
@@beautyofficialtm04 it’s very complicated. Flat foot isn’t inherently bad, as most sub-saharan african athletes have flat foot, but they are still very athletic. It’s not the flat foot causing the issue, it’s the pronation of the foot, and it’s much easier for a person with flat feet (aka low arched feet) to develop pronation than a person with normal height foot arches. Vice versa, people with high arched feet (cavus foot, very common in white people) tend to develop supination of the foot. It has to do with posture a lot too.
@@beautyofficialtm04 because a person with low arches tend to put pressure on the entire foot while standing, as it may be more comfortable, this posture can cause tendon and bone change position inside the foot, after some time, the pronation would occur. Pronation is generally what causes arch pain, especially during a long walk/run, because the ligaments and tendons cannot support the muscle and put the muscle in place. But for most athletes (who are generally not overweight and have very good posture), even though they have the flat feet, they don’t have the bad posture and habits to cause their feet pronated.
Pls help
Sometimes when I curl my toes in or for example sit on my knees (.e.g. feet behind me facing down,
I feel my inner arch pulling then tearing if i stay that way n let it, feels similar to a pulled muscle in your calf (pain 😵💫)but instead happening in your arches
What is this 🫠in general im not in any pain it’s this potential pull and rip happening if I’m
I’m in a Certain Position 🐣
