Short Foot Get Up
SHORT FOOT GET UP
This is a muscle activation exercise to teach you use the intrinsic foot muscles responsible for stabilizing the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) to stabilize the foot during movement. While contracting the intrinsic muscles of the foot it is important to keep the toes relaxed and uninvolved. While keeping the calf relaxed in a seated position, pull up the MLA by doing a SHORT FOOT. Hold this stable contraction while simultaneously standing up from a chair. Maintain the hold as you sit back down. Relax the feet and repeat as required.
