Well, tendons are one of the slowest things to heal. And I guarantee if we really zoomed in and looked at all of it, you probably have a little tendinopathy in those tendons, a little damage here and there that could be contributing to that irritation. But the most important thing is understanding that tendons take months to regenerate.

You and I have had a pretty consistent attack with it, but we finally got you on a really good rehab program you're doing yourself where we're loading the heck out of it with these isometrics and we're building the load more and more. And we're loading those isometrics in different positions. So one of the ones we do with you a lot is that front foot hover, but you're actually plantar flexing.

So where you're driving, you're doing as much of a calf raise as you can, in that split squat position. And then we make you hold that while you do that split squat. So it changes the whole angle and the relationship.

For you, the goal was your toe off was one of the problems. So what happens with you is when your foot, your heel lands, you're driving your body forward and your foot's behind you, you would do like a little bit of a rotation out and create like a little bit of a whip through where it wasn't nice and pure rotation rolling through the foot and the toe.

It was complex and putting extra stress at the ankle. That times 10,000 steps a day will really pick at that tendon and make it sore, which is why you wake up the next day hurting. So what we're trying to do is put these tendons at different lengths and then putting a lot of load through them.

And then the complexity we're adding isn't necessarily at that joint, but we're actually adding motion and complexity above with the lunge and also the requirement of you having to stabilize centrally in that mid part of your body while that foot is locked in. So someone with a really mobile foot, you tend to really use that foot for everything. And that's how you spice up those tendons.

And I'm essentially putting that foot in a position where that tendon has to heal and it has to get stronger. But then I'm making the other parts of your body reach that complexity and meet the demand.

that dorsiflexion or bring your toes up, the pogo, when it's a sudden like acute force like that, you probably also just create a little bit of a joint irritation. It's analogous to jamming your finger.

If you move those two joint structures together really hard quickly and your body can't absorb that force, that'll get a lot more sore than if it's just kind of a slow repetitive stress like the rucking. The pathway is, and you've noticed the relief, like when we do the manual therapy and things like that, that's a nice short term, like, oh, it feels a little better, a little less pain. Great.

But the bigger picture and the ask of your body is teaching it, how can it respond to this and how do I build that force in those tendons to where not only does that tendons start to regenerate and heal, but then it's also ready to react to all the things you do. So knowing for you specifically that you love to use those feet, And the more barefoot you are, like you're more likely to do that.
