187 Why Your Big Toe is Important (and why it hurts)

Plantar fasciitis, neuromas, heel spurs, Achilles tendinitis - there are a lot of different ways to have foot pain.

And while addressing issues in those areas specifically is important, one joint you probably aren't addressing is your big toe.

Flexibility in your big toe is non-negotiable for walking. But the human body is super efficient and will work around it if it's lacking, leaving you with stiff and grouchy feet.

So if you struggle with pain in your feet, knees, ankles, or hips - today's episode is for you!

You'll learn:

The basics of foot anatomy
Common causes of big toe pain
How strength and mobility in your big toe can affect your gait
