Modified yoga foot stretches to prevent pain

After many hours of standing and working; the feet feel pressed, sore and tight. Even after long hours; many do not take much care of their feet and often neglect them. The feet are actually very important for balance, agility, stability and grip. The feet are very instrumental in discharging emotions. The toes are also important for balance. Modified yoga stretches improve flexibility in the toes, soles, and strengthen the arch and balls of the feet and alleviate heel problems such as heel spurs.

General foot stretching relieves foot pain and cramps caused by hard, tight shoes or boots. Do all the exercises described with bare feet. The toes are meant to be mobile. If your toes are locked and you can’t separate them, we have to change that. Our first stretch to start at the toes. Spread your toes, as wide as you can for a few seconds, and release them. Another great stretch for the toe and foot is to try to grab a sock with your toes. Lift the sock up with your toes only. Push it down into the ground and propel it forward with your toes. Release it and pull it towards you by squeezing your toes.

Imagine that you can play the piano with your feet and try to move your toes one at a time. From the big toe to the little toe. Do this for both sides. Put your foot straight, squeeze your toes together, and then point your foot down. Release and bring your foot back up. To repeat. If you have a cramp, release it immediately and massage your foot.

If you are sitting with your foot on your leg, this is an easier way to massage your feet. Massaging the foot is also a great release and manipulates the toes during the foot massage, including the big toe if it feels locked. In the massage, to work the arch, take the toes and curl them towards the top of the foot. That exposes the ligaments in your arch, which you can massage with your other hand. Many people find that very painful. But if you constantly stretch and massage your feet, you won’t feel as much pain.

If you stand up, bring your left foot forward and your right foot slightly behind you. You want your back leg to be super bent for the pose. At first you are only working on the back foot. Place the top of the foot and toes on the floor, this stretches the top of the foot, and then lower the ball of foot and toes (the foot is still slightly behind the left foot), this stretches the bottom of the foot Alternate, tops and toes down, ball of foot down. Add this to it. When the top of your foot is down, you will straighten your leg and body toward the ceiling. This will definitely stretch your foot. Now switch feet so that the right is now in front. Bring the left behind you and work to the left. Left top and toes down, and ball and toes down.

If you are standing, squat down so that you can put your hands on the floor in front of your feet or slightly to the sides. In this squat, your knees will be in front of you. Roll forward to the balls of your feet and the palms of your hands. Then slowly begin to lower your knees in front of you, as if you were going to kneel, but do not place them on the floor. Bring your knees close to the floor, and as you come out, roll back onto your heels. You’re going to sink your glutes to stretch your calves, Achilles tendon, and heels. Roll forward and almost drop your knees, then roll back onto your heels. It will not only stretch the length of your feet, but also strengthen your legs. If the squat is too much for you, don’t get too low. You can do it with your hips much higher, get as low as you can. Adding foot care to your routine will release stress and make you feel much happier and freer.
