Exercises for the Feet
The best exercise for the feet is to walk bare feet
on the grass in your garden , if possible.
- Foot Stretch: Sit on the floor with your
legs in front of you. Loop the towel around your feet.
Keeping the heels on the floor, pull with both hands.
Use the towel to draw the mid foot and toes towards
your body. Hold for few seconds, relax, repeat 5 times.
- Ankle Stretch: Sit with your legs straight
out in front of you. Point your foot down and then
bring it towards you as far as is comfortable. Hold,
relax and repeat 10 times.
- Toe agility: Sit on a chair with a towel
on the floor under your toes and stretched out away
from your foot. Keeping your foot flat, use your toes
to drag, the towel back towards your foot, so that
the towel bunches up. Repeat until fatigued.
- Foot turn in: Starting in a sitting position
turn your whole food and ankle inwards towards your
midline. You will feel a gentle stretch on the outside
of your calf and ankle. Hold, relax and repeat.
- Foot turn out: Starting in a sitting position
with your legs straight out in front of you. Turn
your whole foot and ankle outwards, away from your
midline, so that you feel a gentle stretch on the
inside of your calf and ankle. Hold, relax and repeat
