How to Keep Your Foot Healthy?
  • People at some point in life experience foot or
    ankle pain. It is important to keep your feet
    strong. Many of the exercises could help
    alleviate this soreness and improve overall
    health and flexibility.
  • Regularly exercising and stretching your feet and
    ankles would provide support to the muscles.
    These exercises would increase range of motion in
    the feet, helping you be active for as long as
    possible.
  • Healthy feet and ankles are vital to your ability
    to walk, run, and maintain your balance.
    Strengthening and stretching them will make a big
    difference in keeping your feet happy and
    healthy.
  • The lower leg is made up of the tibia on the
    inside and the fibula on the outside. The bones
    connect to the talus and the calcaneus or heel.
    Heel is further connected to the five small bones
    and the metatarsals and phalanges of toes.
  • The bones are interconnected with different sized
    ligaments together for stability. Ligaments are
    connected to bones with various muscles from the
    big calf to the small muscles that move your toes.

The two main type of exercises are
  1. Flexibility exercises These help improve
    flexibility and keep your feet limber. These
    would reduce your risk for injury. You could
    build flexibility through slow and gentle daily
    stretches, focusing on one group of muscles at a
    time.
  2. Resistance exercises These require your muscles
    to work against some type of resistance, such as
    weights or exercise bands. These help strengthen
    muscles to provide better support and protection
    for the foot. Exercise bands resemble compression
    bandages but are segregated on the basis of
    colors corresponding to the amount of resistance
    they provide.

Exercise for Healthy foot
  • If you have pain in feet and ankles, any
    injuries, or medical conditions such as arthritis
    or diabetes, it is important to visit a
    podiatrist or physical therapist before starting
    any exercises. Depending on your condition the
    podiatrist would suggest exercises or therapies.
    Some of the exercise to help alleviate the pain
    and keep foot healthy include
  • Bear Squat to Downward Dog Dynamic Stretch 
  • It is a great activity to help facilitate ankle
    dorsiflexion and great toe extension. This is an
    important exercise for runners. This exercise is
    beneficial as it not only stretches out the
    arches of your feet, but also helps lengthen the
    muscles and tendons in your calves. These muscles
    and tendons are helpful in moving the foot. They
    also play a role in how your foot hits the
    ground.
