Improve the Mobility of your Toes. Activate, Lift, & Strengthen the Arch of Your Foot. Help Improve Gait and Foot Action to Walk & Run Faster and Farther with Happy, Healthy Feet.
How flexible is your Foot? Do your toes bend easily in each direction? Can you stand or kneel and tuck your toes way under to be securely balanced on the balls of your feet? How far do your toes bend the other direction to point, like a ballerina in a toe shoe? Do you run or walk and have stiff ankles and tight muscles in your feet & toes? Do your feet cramp up a lot and leave you hopping around with calf cramps or foot pain? Do you have Hammer Toes that fold and buckle from the middle of the toe joints rather than bending from where the toes meet the foot?Â

Have you ever sprained your ankle? Did it turn into a nagging chronic injury?
I recently came across a synopsis of a study that was published in the June online edition of the AJSM (American Journal of Sports Medicine) that shows a correlation between ankle alignment and ankle sprains.  Ankle sprains are the most common sports-related injury, and many people develop chronic instability and repetitive ankle injuries.

- Do You Ever Experience Foot Pain?
- Do You Ever Feel Like Your Toes Are All Jammed Together?
(especially if you’re a gal that likes to wear pointy-toed shoes!)
- Do You Like To Wear Flip-Flops or Other Strapless Shoes?
- Do You Have Hammer Toes?
When our toe joints get jammed together it affects the whole foot. If the bones of our feet are too close together, the muscles and joints can’t move properly, which means our feet don’t work like they should when we walk and run. It’s all about freedom of movement! And we need good joint space to move well.
Here’s a video to demonstrate the Fantastic Feet exercise of the Week:Â Toe Circles!

Just saw this article posted online – “Foot Pain Will Increase in January!”  It says that there is an increase in Foot Pain, because people are starting to get up off the couch and exercise! Oh the joys of those New Year’s resolutions.  The recommendations are to start slow and get the right shoes to help avoid injury. I agree with this perspective, a good supportive shoe is helpful, but I truly believe taking a few quick minutes to do foot stretching and strengthening exercises is a critical necessity to help avoid foot pain and injury while you’re increasing your activity level. If you’re walking, running, cycling, going to aerobics class or Zumba, taking a couple of minutes before or after your workout to do a few foot specific exercises will keep your feet happy, healthy, and pain free!   My favorite foot care exercises are in the book Fantastic Feet! My favorite toy to help reduce the risk of plantar fasciitis (a common foot pain problem) – Foot Savers!
