Three Tools For Healthy Feet

By

Are your feet ready for spring training? As we transition from winter to spring footwear the muscles and tendons in our feet and ankles are work differently. You train the rest of your body, why not pay specific attention to your feet? If you suffer from bunions, hammer toes, or plantar fasciitis this is especially important. Treat your feet to a little TLC and you will be pain free this summer.

Here are the top three tools I use to keep my feet healthy and happy:

  1. Golf ball: Spend five minutes twice a week rolling our your feet and you will notice a difference immediately.
  2. Correct Toes: Wear these toe separators for thirty minutes a day to stretch and strengthen your feet.
  3. Theraband: Lay on your back, wrap a band around your foot and draw your name on the ceiling with your toes.

If you are in need of any of these tools let me know. I sell balls, bands, and Correct Toes and am happy to put together a foot care package and show you how to use all of these goodies.

Anne McCranie owner of Fluid Movement + Massage works with her clients one on one and in small groups using a combination of movement and massage to ease pain, build strength and relax tight muscles.

R.O.S.S. is Anne’s original idea for corrective, injury free, pain free movement.

Warm your muscles and tune your brain into your body by starting with release work. Organize your small stabilizers (transverse abdominals, paraspinals). Strengthening large muscle groups boosts your metabolism, making your body more efficient. Stretching at the end of your session (not at the beginning) allows you to check in with your body yet again, and facilitates smooth, graceful, supple movement.
