Foot exercises can significantly improve foot health and alleviate pain, according to experts. Initiating a routine of foot and ankle exercises helps increase muscle strength and stability, potentially reducing injury risks. Irene Davis emphasizes the importance of engaging the foot's intrinsic muscles for overall stability, similar to core workouts for the rest of the body. Dr. Adam Tenforde supports this by noting that regular exercise can prevent pain. A series of exercises, including 'foot doming,' can enhance foot function and support day-to-day activities. Consultation with healthcare professionals for underlying conditions is advised.
People have these amazing muscles in their feet. They actually have the ability to increase the strength and capacity of their feet, which can help with the pain.
Regularly exercising your feet and ankles has been shown to reduce the risk of injury, prevent and alleviate pain, and improve overall foot health.
Strengthening your foot core provides stability so the larger muscles that move the foot and ankle can do their job and protect against pain and injury.
Consult with your healthcare provider if you have questions, experience pain or have preexisting foot conditions like bunions, plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis.
