1. Hi Guys,
I was wondering if you could direct me to a podcast/video or
elaborate on how a fast stretch can relax a hypertonic muscle in a
practical setting. Can manual stretching techniques like MET be use
by altering the technique with a short fast stretch or are you just
referring to high velocity low amplitude manipulation? We are often
taught to find the barrier apply contraction and then 'gently' go
to the next barrier. Is this still a good way of activating the
GTO's?Also do you have any further discussion I can check out on
GTO's?
Thanks for your time, Adrian
2. Hello, GAIT Guys!
3. Hello Drs. Waerlop and Allen. I need some clarification on gait
biomechanics. Will using a more "minimalist" running shoe or a shoe
with less RF to FF delta help peroneous longus to gain mechanical
advantage? If someone has a forefoot varus would recommending a
lower ramp shoe be appropriate to help "retrain" the tripod at
stance phase?

4. Another blog question...ivo said in podcast #15 that most people
have a forefoot abnormality (during section talking about flares).
Any idea Why? Is it skewed toward one way or the other?
After looking at quite a few feet since becoming shoe fit
certified, I've noticed quite a lot of variation. If I was pressed
if say I've seem <10% FF valgus and maybe half of the rest each
neutral and varus. Is that in the ballpark of what you guys
see?
How about rear foot? I feel like I see a lot of rear foot varus but
maybe my frame of reference is not accurate? If I was pressed, I'd
say 70% varus, 29% neutral, 1% valgus. Does that seem off?
Thanks, Eric J
