“Elder martial brother, the most common words I hear in other teachers’ classes are” raise the arch of the foot “, which means that raising the arch of the foot is a good thing.
Can you tell me why to raise the arch of the foot and the benefits of raising the arch of the foot.” Xiaozhi began to laugh again.
“Let’s first talk about the role of the foot arch.
The arch shape of the foot arch is the same as that of the arch bridge.
The arch bridge can bear the pedestrians, vehicles and horses passing above.
The foot arch can bear greater pressure and alleviate the impact on the body when walking, running and jumping, so as to avoid injury.” “There are three arches: the horizontal arch and the inner and outer longitudinal arch.
The lifting of the arch in our usual practice refers to the inner longitudinal arch, because if the inner arch collapses, the horizontal arch will disappear, but the horizontal arch collapses and the longitudinal arch can still be intact.” “As you all know, yoga can freeze age.
Freeze age is certainly not a beauty of ice and snow, but should represent a young state, a vitality, lively and lively, ha ha, are you right?” photon looked at Xiaozhi playfully.
“Mm-hmm, if I’m idle all day like a vegetable, I don’t want such freeze age,” Xiaozhi thought.
“Raising the arch of the foot is the secret of freezing age.
Just now we mentioned that the function of the arch of the foot is to alleviate the impact of the body.
If it is a flat foot, he will only cause greater damage if he jumps around again.
Are you right?” Xiaozhi nodded and motioned for photon to continue.
“There is not a sentence to describe aging, which is called: all flesh droops, only high blood fat.
The lifting of the inner arch will make the lower leg strong and powerful, and the footwall foundation is stable, so the upper body can be more stable and will not shake.” “no wonder the teacher asked us to separate our toes greatly, so we wanted to increase the bearing area under the foot to better stabilize the body?” “It’s not to increase the load-bearing area.
In that case, the flat foot area is larger.
The toe is opened to activate the abductor hallucis muscle.
The abductor hallucis muscle is activated and tightened, so that the inner arch can be lifted.” “Oh, no wonder, I see that many students press down the big ball bone, and the big toe is raised too high.
It’s to activate the inner arch to lift up!” Xiaozhi showed a sudden realization.
“No, it’s right to press down the big ball bone, but the big toe must also press down.
You see the muscle direction of the abductor hallucis muscle, you know why to press down the big toe, because if the big toe tilts up, it will only stretch the abductor hallucis muscle.
Only pressing down can further tighten the abductor hallucis muscle.
If it is tightened, the arch of the foot can be raised.” “I see, I see.
To sum up, pressing the big toe down is the foundation of the whole yoga posture and the secret of freezing age.
