Whether you are regularly
active or not, have you given much thought to targeting your toes? We often
focus on the major muscle groups but your toes need attention too.
The muscles around your
toes help with balance in particular, and they need to be exercised regularly
to stay strong and free of injury.
The first exercises to try
require only a thick rubber band. With your feet stretched out in front of you,
wrap the band around your big toes and spread your feet apart so there is no
slack in the band. Now pull your toes away from each other, hold and return them
to the original position. Repeat this several times. Next put the rubber band
around all the toes on one foot. Spread your toes apart as far as you can, hold
for five seconds and then relax. Do several repetitions and repeat with your
other foot.
Next, with bare feet, sit
in a chair with your feet flat on the floor in front of you. Press the toes of
one foot down into the floor. Try to keep your heel down and your toes
straight. You may feel the arch of your foot lift up slightly. Hold for a few
seconds and then relax. Repeat ten times and then switch to the other foot.
These are just easy exercises that you can do in a few minutes at home, while
watching TV. They are simple but effective in helping you avoid injuries such
as shin splints and plantar fasciitis.

foot pain at all, please don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Jeff Bowman at Houston
