Flatfoot exercises

My good friend at one time suffered from an endless series of various sores. Then she had a problem with her knees, then her back got sick, and somehow took her kidneys. She was treated for a long time from everything separately, because who would think that these diseases are somehow connected? One day, she went to an orthopedist who said that all her health problems were related.





It turned out that the girl neglected flatfoot, which provoked problems with the back, knees and even internal organs. The doctor advised her a set of exercises, which the editors "Site" shares with you.

How to treat flat feet Let's say straight, flatfoot It's not treatable. It is best if you find it in childhood, then it is easier to get rid of the disease. But do not be upset, there are many treatments that provide clear progress. The main element of therapy is exercise.

And we offer not just a set of exercises, but yoga. People who practice yoga believe that it can cure hundreds of diseases, and this is not true. Yoga also helps with flat feet.





Let’s talk a little bit about the sore itself to understand what it is and where it comes from. Flatfoot is a deformation of the foot, a change in its shape, the omission of the transverse and longitudinal arches. As a result of this deformation, a healthy configuration of the foot is lost. As a result, a person may have a violation of posture, pain in the knees, hips, curvature of the toes and scoliosis.

The causes of flat feet are a great many: from a birth defect to injuries in adulthood. The most common option is static flatfoot, which occurs due to the weakening of the muscle corset. This can occur due to constant walking on a flat surface and the absence of load on the muscles of the foot, uncomfortable shoes or excess weight.

If there is a flat foot, you need to work with it. Regular practice of asanas and constant classes in this complex for 2-3 months lead to a noticeable improvement in the condition. So let's get to the exercises.

  1. The first asana
    Immediately clarify, all asanas are performed in a standing position. So the feet are parallel to each other. Take the heels off the floor slightly, directing the feet towards each other and lifting the outer arch of the foot. Fingers don't move. You need to feel the tension in your feet. Repeat the exercise 10-15 times.



  2. Second asana
    Again, the feet are parallel, lean more on the outer edge of the foot. Fingers are tense and bent. Now move your body weight from your little finger to your thumb and back, as if rolling over. Repeat 5-7 times.



  3. Third asana
    Bring the socks together, the heels - to the sides at an angle of about 90 degrees. Inhale, rise on your toes, exhale down on your heels. You can slightly complicate the exercise: inhale - you tear off your heels from the floor, bend your knees and squat, straighten your legs with exhalation, fall on your heels. Do 4-5 repetitions. Compensatory exercise: Put your socks on a small elevation, leave your heels on the floor and stand for 10-15 seconds so that your feet relax.





  4. Fourth asana
    Put your feet on the width of your shoulders. Raise your right leg, now pull your thumb up, the rest down. In the maximum possible position, fix the leg for 5 seconds, lower the leg. Do the same exercise with your left leg. Do 5-7 repetitions for each leg.



  5. Fifth asana
    Place your feet on one line: one leg in front, the other behind. Take a breath and go up on your socks, get down on the floor. You can add hand movements up and down. Repeat 15 to 20 times. Then perform the compensatory exercise as in the third asana.



  6. Sixth asana
    The feet are parallel, as much as possible raise your fingers up, stretching them. Then put your little fingers and thumbs on the floor and press to the floor. Then put your other fingers down. The legs should be as tight as possible. Repeat it 10 times. At first, asana may seem difficult, but after training you will succeed. 349963



  7. Ball exercise
    A separate point I would like to note that a good addition to the complex will be exercises with a ball. It does not need to be a massage ball, any, only a small size, will suit. Exercises with it are simple: roll it on the floor, massage the entire surface of the foot.
