My question is what your philosophy is regarding slightly textured insoles and if this may affect hip and abdominal function and cross posture syndrome?  Our Response: Thanks for the kudos.

Extensor Hallucis Brevis Case Treatment
EHB CASE treatment: For this particular case we used simple stuff. In more complex cases we will add Western Acupuncture methods as well. But in this case we used the simplest of methods ……. a blend of MAT, AMIT, followed by graded iso’s every 15degrees over and over again in multiple vectors integrating larger and further reaching muscle groups.
