STRETCHING AND STRENGTHENING EXERCISES
As part of your treatment program your podiatrist will often suggest a series of stretching or strengthening exercises to assist with healing. Similar stretches and exercises can be used as preventative measures for athletes where strong muscles are essential for performance.
Strengthening the foot muscles is key to enabling your body to find control, stability and limit preventable injuries. Ensure your muscles are primed to improve by keeping them in good condition, with massage and stretching. As a basic measure, your warm-up regime should always incorporate lower leg and foot flexibility sets. Your podiatrist will recommend the best stretches to perform for the job.
