Toe Walking - Toes Pointed Out
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
HOW: Start in a standing position. Rotate your legs outward. Push into the ground while your legs are rotated out lifting your body up and your knees straight(only rotate them as far as you feel comfortable with) and walk for the amount prescribed. Focus on small, quick steps.
FEEL: You should feel the muscles on the outside part of your shins and lower calf working with this variation.
COMPENSATION: Keep your toes pointed out as you walk forward, don’t lose the toe position. Keep your heels off of the ground as you walk.
