Foot Stretch

Benefits

Releases tension and stiffness in feet and toes, improves circulation to legs and feet, improves posture, detoxifies internal organs and more.

Instructions

  • Step 1: Remove your socks and shoes if possible.
  • Step 2: Sit slightly forward in your chair, feet flat on the floor, legs at a 90 degree angle. Contract your abdominal muscles slightly, lift up through your chest and lengthen your spine.  Drop your shoulders down your back.
  • Step 2: Extend your right leg straight forward and place your heel into the ground.  Lift up your toes and press through the heel of your foot, as if pressing into an imaginary wall.  Spread your toes apart.  Inhale, and as you exhale, release the stretch and relax your foot.
  • Step 3: Repeat 3-5 times, then switch to the other foot.
