Making Sense of the Standing Toe Touch
I bet you use the standing toe touch test (bend forward and touch your toes) all the time... But do you know what you are looking for? Spinal flexion, right, that's obvious right? Well not really. The toe touch test is far more than just a range of movement test, much, much more! Listen to this week's podcast episode to find out why the standing toe touch test is not just a lower back assessment and why you should use this test with every patient you see... Even patients with neck, shoulder and upper limb problems! Enjoy the show! Andy Barker The New Grad Physio Mentor PS.
