Heal Foot Pain in Minutes – Try These 5 Effective Exercises
Heel Exercises
The calf muscles and ligaments at the heel are incredibly important for the health of your feet.
Stand on a step with your heels on a step. Then raise your heels up and down. Repeat 10 times, twice a week.
Sole Stretch
This exercise can improve the range of motion in your feet and can also alleviate pain in your soles. The simplest way to do this exercise is to sit in a chair and place one of your feet on your knee.
Grab your toes and gently pull them back and forth. This motion stretches the tendon and muscle tissue that connects the heel to the toes.
Try to hold this position for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times per foot.
Tennis Ball Foot Exercise
A tennis ball is an excellent tool for massaging your feet.
Roll the ball under your foot while applying some pressure. Do it for about a minute before switching feet. It’s a great way to get the blood circulating!
Toes Stretch
You probably don’t often think about your toe muscles, but they need to be activated and receive some love. These muscles have an important function, as strong toe muscles improve balance and increase flexibility in the feet.
Place a strong elastic band around your toes and try to spread them apart. The rubber band should provide some resistance, so make sure you have a good rubber band. Spread your toes for five seconds and repeat 10 times per foot.
Toes Curls
You can do this challenging exercise sitting or standing.
Start by placing a small towel on the ground in front of you. Try to grasp the towel with your toes and then try to pull the towel towards you.
You can also try picking up dice, marbles, and the like with your toes. Repeat 4-5 times for each foot.
Bonus Tips:
- Wear the right shoes. Shoes that have enough room for your toes, fit well, and keep your foot stable are preferred.
- Treat yourself to a foot bath. A foot bath with Epsom salt is ideal for tired feet and also increases magnesium intake.
- Try yoga. Yoga is an excellent way to help strengthen muscles and bring balance to your legs and feet.
- Go barefoot. Walking barefoot stimulates blood circulation, which in turn provides better oxygenation. Your feet contain many nerve endings and making contact with the ground can reduce stress and speed up recovery.
- Consult a specialist. See a doctor if you suffer from unbearable, constant foot pain.
