Yes, can you also address calves and ankles? Thanks for the great information!
@@richardjones2750 Thanks for the suggestion!
All of a sudden, my right heel hurts and I think it may be plantar fasciitis. Any help for that and the rotator cuff! Thanks!
@@zacgrimaldo I'm in the process of making something for both, thanks for the suggestions!

Oh my goodness I hit my bone inside my toe really hard on the wooden part of my bed and it’s been hurting for a year and I just got a really good pop noise when I used this video and it barely feels like anything is sore in my toe anymore! Thanks so much
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!

A year what the hell
@@mahoganysoul1798 go see a dr
Holy shit bro
I've been having foot pain for about a year. I've had to compression wrap it and ice it a few times. I was hurting again today and decided to give this video a try. I started at the beginning... the very first exercise got me a LOUD POP! And immediate relief.... WOW!! After following the entire video step by step, now my OTHER foot feels stiff in comparison!! Thank you so much.
Wonderful to hear that, and thanks for watching!
At 48 years of age this is the first time I have ever seen these type of excersises. Absolutely brilliant 👏 Thanks so much for sharing it with us!!!
Hope they help, give us an update soon!
@@DrRowe _And they were never seen again.._

I did my ankle, I heard the cracks. Feel wonderful. Thank you.
Great to hear it helped, and thanks so much for watching!
I noticed something I walk, to the mailbox and noticed no pain. I don't know how to thank you i had this pain, for years.
I crack any bone I can. It's so satisfying.

You must have some serious hospital bills

Just be thankful he wasn't showing how to treat a groin injury.
Just did the big toe one and felt instant relief. Haven't been able to bend my toe in months. Thank you for these videos. Just recently discovered you and subscribed. Between traveling and being in bad hotel beds and crawling in attics your videos have been helping me alot.
Great to hear you’re getting relief, and thanks so much for the sub!
I have been hit by an 18 wheeler while walking and it threw me about 15’. Then years later, had a stroke. The muscle weakness made me pretty clumsy for a while. Then, on 2 different occasions I was a passenger in car wrecks. One we ere T-Boned on my door. 6 months later, the day I was being released from PT, we were rear ended. There literally isn’t a part of my body that doesn’t ache or hurt badly. The Only thing that keeps me pretty mobile is self mobilization, adjustments and stretches. Your videos are very clear and the explanations are excellent. Thank you for showing me some improved ways and even a few new ones!
Thanks for watching!
I wanted to learn some new tricks but realized all these techniques are things I have already been doing naturally because it just feels right. Glad to be reminded to pay attention to my feet tonight!
Thank you for taking the time to replay ... very nice of you! Love the way you explain everything with such details ! Thanks again Your new Fan :)
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
You are so amazing!! Thank you for these quick and easy to understand videos. The techniques you provide truly bring relief and I am so grateful! Excited to see the changes after doing these consistently.
Happy to help, and thanks for watching!
Had cracked my toes for decades, but not much recently. Was just floored when I tried the one on the big toe and it popped so easily, thank you :D
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos! I’m a retired teacher from Lakeshore schools, here in Stevensville. The way you explain things, you would also make a great high school or college teacher, especially in math! Thank you for making your videos!! They are excellent!!
Well hello! Thanks for the kind words and I hope the exercises are helping.
i want to thank you soooo much. somehow, your videos made me see how much my toes needed a good cracking, so i went to a chiropractor who helped me find out i had something wrong with my tendon. i was referred to an orthopedic and now receiving treatment for it and my toe is feeling so much better after a long painful YEAR of just trying to shrug off the pain. your videos also help me so much for my at-home exercises. if i haven't found your videos, i probably would have never gotten my much needed treatment. so i thought i need to thank you🙏🏻
Glad you found these videos and the exercises are making a huge difference. Thanks so much for watching too!
I didn’t get much of a pop I’ve had one or two toes popped cracked but wow what a difference it made in the foot. Fantastic tutorial I learnt a lot and great results you’re a genius
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy your videos for their simplicity, meaningful help, and straightforwardness. Thank you and Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thank you for the kind words, and you too!
THIS is the video i have been searching for! great information! THANK YOU!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching too.
This was amazing!!!! I’ve been looking for relief and stretches.... anything that will prevent me from getting injections again. You are brilliant! Thank you!
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks for watching!
My foot was hurting so bad for some reason and I knew I needed to crack it. I didn’t know how to do it, then I found this video. The first method worked for me, and it felt so good
Great to hear the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
Just realizing that most of my back issues are referred from my calves, ankles and feet, and this video pops up miraculously! Dr. Rowe is a psychic!
Hope the exercises help, give us an update soon!
interestingly enough, my chiropractor explained this to me as well! if your feet are problematic, it causes to walk differently and put strain on your back.
Wtf is that a butt on ur pfp 😳

Hello and thanks again for watching!
OMG. I’ve been having so much trouble with this toe. Who knew it was the metatarsal. The first two moves didn’t help so I was not optimistic. But the shearing move did the trick! Thank you so much!
This is what I needed for my ankle it's been just terrible thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching!

Been dealing with random pain for about a year under my foot. I think one day I cramped a bit and it was never the same its above the underside of my heal and wow this worked wonders! Metatarsal points were a lifesaver

Thank you so much sir ! , Your are like angel to me , I subscribed ♥️
Thanks so much for the sub, we appreciate it!
Been hurting in the top of my foot on my left foot, fourth toe for a while. I had to do a different technique to actually find the right bone and how it needed to go, being a bit thicker, and with a shorter foot, but I felt it finally just go back into place with enough pressure. It feels so much better already.
Glad you’re getting relief, and thanks for watching!
It worked just in few seconds...thank you so much 😭❤
Wonderful to hear you’re getting quick relief!
I did it to my mom. She said ir felt good and she fell asleep in the couch. I watched it on the tv as I am doing it to her. Thanks for this!
Great to hear the exercises are helping, and thanks for watching!
I have been having these problems for about 2 Years and this helped a lot. Thank you.
Glad to hear you're getting relief, and thanks so much for watching!
You are a GOD my friend :) I haven't felt this loose for decades. And yes I did get those satisfying pops especially with the ankle roll exercise
Glad the exercises are helping, and thanks so much for watching!
Wow! So simple! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I've never gotten this ankle to pop ... I'm 39 .. took two minutes and it worked . Thank you
Fantastisk. I had a bad big toe for 50 year. I gave it a click it was great. Thanks👍
GREAT to hear the exercises helped, and thanks so much for watching!
@@DrRowe Thanks.... could it be possible my big toe led was grown togethers year after accident ?
These look good. I have a super stiff “underfoot” metatarsal from a mid-80s bunionectomy w/no physical therapy, as they didn’t offer it back then. The area by and above my right foot arch has limited range of motion-pointing and flexing are stunted. Liking that big toe “knuckle” crack, too. The ideal thing is having it all done to me. But I’ll give these a try on my own!
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
Thanks. Great tips!
Thanks so much for watching!
Wow! So interesting. Thank you for the video
Thanks so much for watching!
Over powered vdo sir Really I finding This vdo This is really awesome and help full
Glad the video is helpful, and thanks for watching!
I’ve been suffering from a foot that always cracks a few times a day when it gets tired. I did this a minute ago while watching your video and ... honestly, my foot feels great. I will rest and sleep, and see how it feels tomorrow. Hope it provides a fix and not just a momentarily relief. My foot did crack btw jaja! The reason my foot cracks is because I sprained my ankle two times when I was young and I also broke my shin when I was little. Since then I’ve felt this kinda swollen painless , often cracking.
Hope these exercises help for a long time to come, give us an update in the near future too!
That's joint instability from damaged ligaments. Check out dextrose-based prolotherapy, it tightens and regenerates ligament tissue. Had it done to my neck.
First of all, thank you for your great explained and very helpful videos. Through which I have already got rid of many complaints. Maybe you can help me here too, my wife has had recurring severe pain in the tibialis anterior muscle for several months. She has been to countless doctors, unfortunately no one could or would help her. We also don't know why this pain has suddenly appeared. I massage her leg every day for 20-30 minutes because that is the only thing that brings short term relief. Maybe you know such a problem and have a tip what we can try so that we can reduce the pain. Thank you so much already.
Okay Doctor. I'm definitely stalking your videos now. Your videos are amazing. 👏
Glad you found the channel, and thanks for watching!
Never really looked at my feet, they don't even look like they're part of my body but damn they're beautiful wtf
😂
Bruh
Weird
Oh is that a foot fetish or smthn? Wait that's not even a question
@@crustywaffles1110 it’s ok to love your feet shh
My hands are too small/weak! And my feet/ankles are too tight :( I can usually get a nice crack in my foot if I roll on a lacrosse ball. It's my nightly routine! Thanks for these tips; I love learning more about anatomy
I do hope the exercises help, and thanks so much for watching!
What i like is the foot part, compress.. I think i can put it into a massage technique, It helps me out while I'm watching this video right now. Thank you!
Omg thank you! This really helped
Glad the exercises helped, and thanks for watching!
I was using the roller on my ankles and my neck released. Yay!
A twofer 🙂 Thanks for watching!
I've always thought you'd pop your big toe by pushing it forward, but I figured out how to pop my big toe on my own by pushing down and it feels amazing everytime
I just found your channel. I am so glad that you should how to work on toes, and feet. And ankle, I was sure my foot was broken. It isn’t. Thank you
Glad you found the channel, and thanks for watching!

I broke my toe over the summer, I’m going to try this and see if it helps. Will update later
Hope the exercises help, and please give us an update soon.
Thank You Dr Rowe. I have had pain just above my middle toe since 2015 that goes to baby toe, down the other toes into the outside and top of foot after the chiropractor cracked my toes downward. I did the movement you recommended and nothing happened, it must have loosened it up. Did some walking on carpet kind of spinning my foot, feeling it in that area and "POP". You can't know what a relief it is, has been horrible. I just hope it stays, this was only 10 minutes ago but it feels pretty normal already. Many, many thanks to You!
Glad you're getting relief, and thanks for watching!
Awesome tutorial!
Thanks for watching!
Ive done it since i was 11, its easy and just satisfying
Holy crap, I tried the first one on my right foot and it feels so much easier to move then my left foot

Thank you so much for this video. I had my metatarsal “locked” for over a year, so much that every morning mi left foot was all numb and it hurt all day long.
Thank you so much i hear a multiple cracks now i cant walk
Lmaoo

no no no it worked omg i was crying before this thank you so much
Glad to hear that, and thanks so much for watching!
Wow thank you I fallow your Direction in my foot pain is gone
GREAT to hear that! Thanks so much for watching.
I used to have an annoying thing where every time i put pressure on my foot and then moved it a little bit I got an uncomfortable pop. This fixed almost all of those problems.
That's great to hear! Thanks so much for watching.
I have tight achilles and have been toe-walking my whole life so my foot has become wider set and more flexible at the toes while being very tight at my heels, do you have any recommendations for cracking them or relieving pressure?
I hope you hear back, I need this advice too!
Holy crap. My foot was hurting super bad near the center top of it for some reason when I walked or applied pressure to it. So I did the first stretch ONLY ONCE and not TEN and it’s gone!!!!!! Thank you!
Glad you’re getting relief!
Amazing man
Thanks for watching!
Is that first one in the ankle connected to shin splints? I have had a loud ankle pop tightness for years that helped, Thanks!

I used to be a gymnast and have had pain in my ankles, feet and back for years. I'm scared to do this and make it worse 😂😭
Thanks just did dance class then took a nap and I was hurting so badddd
Hope the exercises help for a long time to come, and thanks so much for watching!
Thank you!!
Thanks for watching!
Is it possible through these exercises that I can get my feet, specifically my toes to the point where they don’t make cracking noises any longer?
Okay so if I move my right ankle it pops, no matter if I had just popped it or not. Except it never feels like it has been popped, it feels like stretching a rubber band and flicking it from one side of something to the other. The same thing happens with the lower "knuckle" of the toe next to my big toe, and also with my right wrist..... Any idea what that could be?
Great video
Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Dr. Rowe...would the last movement shown in the video also work to release the cuboid bone? I've had a problematic cuboid for eons and have wanted a reliable self mobilization technique. Thanks so much for your videos. (From a native St. Joseph resident and SJHS Class of '76 Graduate...Go Bears.)
Hello St. Joseph! It's possible, have you noticed any difference since doing the exercise?
I've always cracked my toes and ankles but never my feet I didn't even know you could
my left foot has been cracking when i walked since I was in dance class 8+ years ago.. less than 30 seconds after the first stretch it stopped. IM AMAZED. I THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL
Glad you found the video, and I hope the exercises help for a long time to come!
Wish you were in Florida. Great exercises
Thanks so much for watching!
Oh thanks you, my toe really hurt when walking, for so long

Ha, thanks so much for watching!
InTerEsTiNg
It really helped
With the last method, I already do that, by bending the bottom of the foot into a C shape, but to take it a step further, I gently rock both sides kinda like hope a rope goes around a pulley. It works really well at releaving foot pain behind the ball of the foot
