The valgus orthotic posting

Sometimes we employ a valgus post to assist people in getting the head of the first Ray down to the ground when they have adequate range of motion but don’t appear to use it. We would caution that you would not want to use this with somebody with a rigid forefoot Varus or forefoot supinatus as this would cause excessive forefoot pronation.

Note how the post runs from just behind the tail of the fifth metatarsal up to the distal aspect of the phalanx on the fifth and tapers from lateral to medial under the head of the first.

Consider using a valgus post if you were not able to adequately train somebody to get the head of the first down as a temporary measure and physical cue.
