I came to this doing a search for "midfoot collapse." My foot started hurting a lot when I went for my daily 1 hour walk on the bike path. I went to a podiatrist who ordered some custom orthotic shoe inserts. That has helped. He suggested surgery, but I have found that massage/manipulation/movement of various sorts will fix everything. Your video gave me some great ideas for self help. I liked how you used the bone model to show which bones you were going to move. It's pretty hard finding anyone that will do this kind of foot manipulation carefully. I do it during church in stocking feet sitting in the back row.
d b, thanks for the comment. I am curious why/how you came to this page? I am happy to see that exercise science folks are finding this valuable. I hope this comes in handy during PT school as well!
Google search for tarsal foot massage. Don't know if that's a term that's used but we were studying tarsal bones and the professor mentioned that type of massage. I found it interesting and figured it could be used as a term to learn more about the bones in the foot.
Great video! I’m student in PTA program, last semester. I’m making research on joint mobilization on the foot. Does this type of joint mobilization will help to fix flat foot? Thank you 😊
Ridiculi, this is to loosen up a tight midfoot. This may or may not help your arthritis. It depends if your foot is loose or stiff. A PT could possibly help!
The cuboid and navicular it's as a tooth wheel, it's mechanism of actión it's sincronizated by the anatomy..!! never you try to movilizy from sides, always the press with the fingers it's in the bottom of plantar foot. To try rotate the navicular to medial, and rotate de cuboid to lateral...(in prone position)..!!!! Please don't show images with hold fingers y lateral of the foot, because with this techinc, le injury it's going up and the disfunction it's going in the worst way to the patient...!!! Oh myyyy goood... It's Horrible...!!!
ANGEL CHAVAR, sorry the language barrier makes it hard for me to respond. But, the navicular is a ball and socket joint and rotated medial and lateral naturally. Also, the cuboid rotates too, just look at the lateral arch when someone pronates and supinates. If you have substantiated concerns, please post research article or clearer biomechanical argument.
@@enoforewopeht cogwheel mechanism between the navicular and cuboid, navicular always rotates to lateral, and cuboid rotates medial, booth are sincronized. IT's not necessary to research any aticle, it's somethig Know to all. If you rest your fingers on the laterals of the cuboid or scaphoid from the sole of the foot, it will induce both bones to rotate towards the central part of the foot, that is, cuobides towards the medial and scaphoid towards the lateral. Therefore, the support of the patient from the sole of the foot with the patient in the prone position becomes more at the bottom of the foot. I just wanted to say this. If the patient were supine, if the support of the fingers in the most lateral part of both bones would be indicated, to cause an ascent of the central arch of the foot..Greetings from Spain

Your god does not have any NOSE MAYBE??
This is great to see. I am an exercise science student headed for physical therapy. Wonderful information!

I found this looking for information about midfoot arthritis. What is this for?
