Case study of the day. Knee pain and difficulty balancing. This lady came today for help with knee pain. In the assessment it was quite obvious to see that standing one leg was very shaky and going onto her toes was extremely unsteady. In her history were multiple toe fractures on both feet. So my thought process began by wondering if increased sensory stimulation to the toes through a naboso_barefoot_technology mat would bring about change. Well instantly her stability improved and even bending her knees felt better. I knew we had now found a way to make positive change to her problem. The rest of the session focused on teaching her how to load and feel her toes working to support her Centre of mass. This resulted in feelings of bigger leg muscles firing and stabilizing her mass. Physics principle- bigger base of support = greater stability. In the photos you can see her avoiding load through her L 4/5 toes. The Nab...
