Toe Stretch Exercise
Essential Exercise
Stretching is very important and prevents you from causing injury to your flexible muscles, tendons, and ligaments - including those in your feet.
Many podiatrists believe that putting feet through a simple exercise regimen designed to build up foot strength and flexibility can save some folks a world of hurt.
How to perform The Toe Stretch Exercise:
- Raise your heel until only the ball of your foot is touching the floor. Hold for five seconds; release. Do the same with only your toes touching, then with your toes curled under so only the nails are touching.
- Repeat all positions ten times, alternating feet.
- Work up to three sets, three times a week.
