Technique Breakdown: In this tutorial, the patient is placed in the supine position. The doctor contacts the proximal phalanx of the first digit (hallux). The setup involves distracting the joint (long axis traction) and bringing the toe into a medial position to open the joint space before delivering a precise Medial-to-Lateral thrust.

Clinical Application: Mobilizing the 1st MTP joint is critical for the "toe-off" phase of gait. Restrictions in this joint can lead to compensatory pain in the ankle, knee, and hip. This adjustment helps restore range of motion and proprioception.
