Awesome video Zach! In using a ramp, it looks like the entire lower leg is going to be brought into abduction. Is this desired? What would be the difference if one were to use small plates underneath the big toe and inner heel? Which phase of the cycle are we driving with this?
Great Q. I've experimented with both, and used to do the heel elevation only many years ago (as early as 2022 - ua-cam.com/video/0oD_k8muuK0/v-deo.html). My thought is the heel elevation requires at least some IR capabilities to get the foot toward a more centered position, which is why I personally found it work for some, but not for others. What if I have someone who has little to no IR, which is common in those with significant high arches? I have been experimenting with the slants done in this fashion to drive a small amount of IR within an ER range without any negative effects, especially done in short range. I have also seen IR/SLR restored in this position. In my mind, the progression would be start on slant --> progress to heel elevation --> flat to go from extreme late to middle
Hey Zac! I think this is my problem. I have a high arch and when I walk I collapse inwards - I actually have problems feeling the outside of my feet. Anyway I was wondering - instead (or additionally) of the tennis ball, can I use a massage gun? Gunning my feet always felt really damn good lol. Thanks!
Why not reverse position on the foot ramp? :) From what I can see with my high arch is that I have Taylor's bunions and my smallest pinky is not spreading like the rest of the toes. Because of that I tend to walk and stand more on outer part of foot, because my foot goes naturally in supination. My current hypothesis is that if I take care of the Taylor's bunion, my feet should be more in pronation in neutral state and that will drop the arch of the foot. So returning to the question, why not reverse the position on the ramp and exercise pronation of the foot?
Zac, thanks for you videos. My question is can I mix exercises from Lateral-Pelvic Tilt video with the exercises from External/Internal rotation videos?

How to come to know that High Arch Feet are functioning normal?

As long as it helps your foot relax, I'm down

Would walking laterally on s treadmill (while on a incline), also work?.?

Excellent💯
Zac is it true you can fix Left AIC just by doing front elevated single leg squats holding weight on the opposite arm?
Depends on the person and their respective movement capabilities
@@ZacCupplesPT thanks
Hi why I seem to have kinda high arch and over pronation on the right foot instead of supination?
Your pelvis seems to be oriented to the left. If so your left straight leg raise is also probably better than the right?
You would want to drive a rotation. I am doing a flat foot video in the next few weeks :)
best ever!
Thank you!
