Cricket elbow injuries are common but intelligent rehab is not!

Make sure your rehab integrates both focused isolation exercises with bigger, more global compound movements integrating multiple joints!

Big Toe, Big Impact 🦶🏽➡️🏏

Activating the big toe is crucial for proper lower limb mechanics — especially during high-impact movements like a fast bowler’s landing phase.

In this case, the bowler was experiencing knee pain during landing. A movement screen revealed they weren’t loading through the big toe — a key anchor in the kinetic chain.
The resistance band in this Y-Balance drill keeps the big toe engaged: if it lifts, the band snaps away. Instant feedback. ✅

By reinforcing big toe activation, we teach the body to distribute force more effectively, reducing the load on the knee and improving overall efficiency and control.

Don’t underestimate your big toe — it’s small but mighty 💥
