My plum line shows that
thought my body is inline my
weight if shifted slightly over to
the right side. An explanation
for this could be the
Contrapposto form I stand in
when relaxed. A form where a
person stands with most of their
weight on one foot so that the
shoulders and hips tilt toward
that side. (Sitting into one hip)
Also being right side dominated
for other sports has trained by
body to use the right side more.

6. ROLLING OUT IN FEET
After going to the doctors years ago, a problem was highlighted with the bones in
my big toes restricting joint movement. At the time he had only seen the problem
once never gave it a name, by researching I found that it is called Hallux Limitus.
This is the early stage. The later stage is Hallux Rigidus , where the joint is rigid
and very little, if any motion is available.
Reference :
http://whymyfoothurts.com/conditions/halluxlimitus.html
Hallux Rigidus/Limitus involves the 1st metatarso-phalangeal
joint. This joint is located at the base of the big toe. The big
toe joint typically can go through a 55-65 degree range of
motion. With Hallux Limitus this motion can be reduced to 25
or 30 degrees.
Both research and x-rays show that my case of Hallux Limitus
was formed when born, with my first metatarsal being
excessively longer than the others causing a jamming. In
other cases it can be caused through wear around the joint or
injury. Hallux Limitus cause a person to shift the weight to the
side of the foot and could also result in arthertitis in the joint.

7. Without knowing until seeing the doctor my body has trained itself to
roll the feet out over the other toes to compensate for being unable
to in the big toe. Especially in ballet and other sports that involve
rises or working in demi pointe.
As the Hallux Limitus is a result of my bone structure the only way to
fix it is with surgery to shorten the bone. My doctor was about to
perform this surgery on one other patient for the first time, however I
decided for me it wasn’t worth it as at the time I couldn’t afford 5-8
weeks minimum off dancing, he didn’t know if it would 100% work
and I’ve not had any pain or major problems because of it. To stop
the rolling out I will need to work on lowering my rises and demi
pointe focusing on keeping my weight over my big toes for the
minimal about of movement they can do in stead of pushing over so
I don’t end up effecting my ankles, legs and hips.

8. Odd results
In 2 of the photos my plum line shows
that my weight is shifted too far forward
over my toes.
This could be a result of previous training
in ballet or jazz where my dance teacher
has told me to bring my weight forward. It
has come to my attention that I do this
quite often when just about to perform
either in class or on stage to focus and
prepare myself, and then now when
preparing for a photo. I don’t believe I
shift my weight in normal everyday
situations, but now that I know I will try to
prevent it.
