Demonstration: EdgeWork for the Foot and Ankle, progression to standing
This is part 2 of the series where I demonstrate the concept of EdgeWork as applied to the foot and ankle. Once again produced by Will Stewart of 3D Optimal Performance.
Thanks Byron. In the prevention talks I give at work sites I do a little demonstration where I have everyone curl their toes for 2 minutes or so. Then we stand up and feel the difference in balance between the foot we moved vs. the one we didn't.
i m a french physio i know the concept of edge of pain during neural mobilisation when dorsiflexion is performed you can have a pain s ege in compression front of the ankle or a edge in tension at the back of the ankle 1 when you manage your treatment, what do you treat first the edgge in compression or the egge in tension ? what is your professionnal experience about this ?
personnaly i treat first edge in compression until abolition of it and after i treat edge in tension secundly which is more traditionnal ? thanks a lot sebastien.fritsch@gmail.com
Hi Sebastian. I'm concerned with the first sign of the edge, whatever or wherever it may be. It could be a compression sensation on the front, it could be tension on the back, it could be as subtle as a change in breathing pattern. I'm less concerned with the location or quality of the sensation as much as I am with the patient's ability to identify it and engage it.

Great stuff Cory. I love the progression from sitting to standing. Great ideas for Yoga and the elderly for foot awareness even if there is no pain.
Bravo!

Great question.
