Thank you I'm going to try this method for relieving a burning stiffness in my upper right foot. I'm 58 years of age. I was afraid it might be some type of toxin or arthritic pain where it 🔥 burn sensation, stiffness as it comes and goes quite often as I will keep moving. I'm not sure it's only 2 months that started this burning pain and stiffness developed. Thanks for sharing this 💓🇨🇦

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

If you haven't already, will you please make a video about the chiropractic towel adjustment? Where the chiropractor wraps a towel around your neck and pulls upwards/horizontally from the table. I find thay it helps me so much but so many people say it's dangerous. Sorry for leaving this twice. Don't know where you're likely to see it.

[@sivapillay8206]

There are so many relief of pain videos from Dr Rowe that allows me to implement thus slowing me to continue with the daily activities

How about a video about the topical uses for DMSO - using it for pain.

[@charalkire3807]

After two sleepless nights of shooting pain on the top of my foot, unlike anything I have every experienced, I tried almost everything (icing, heating, resting, IB profen etc). The problem had come on at night and went away during the day, but the second night it came back again after 2 hours sleep and I was not finding any relief using ice etc. I was desperate having gotten again very little sleep by the morning. I got on line and found this video. I immediately went through all the exercises Dr. Rowe suggested and it was magical!!! The pain was mostly gone after the first two routines and by the end I was walking around pain free. Proof it worked was last night I got a full nights rest with no pain and today I am pain free. I can look at my foot and see it has returned to looking "normal". Thank you so much!!! What a difference you have made!!!

Thank you for your comment, very encouraging

[@HouseGuide]

Please people, get x-rays to begin with. You may have Arthritis or the beginning of arthritis and may have to get a bone fusion operation. The longer you wait, the more damage you will make until the bone fusion operation won't even be possible and then you will be stuck in a wheel chair the rest of your lives. These exercises will not fix this problem and sometimes it is just the power of suggestion that makes you think it helped when a day or two later it comes back.

[@UltraBoxingNG15]

I never leave comments, I couldn't walk for two days. I tried this and my foot feels 80 percent better. Thankyou so much

[@azzurro1341]

I want to thank you for your advice! I was suffering tendonitis for weeks, after watching your video and practicing what you say, I was free from pain in just one week.

[@dianearnold5381]

65 yo and backpacking the Florida Trail - which is FLAT ground. I’ve done a lot of backpacking in the past, but this easy trail has got me halted and in a motel due to foot pain. This series of exercises has immediately made my foot feel better/ pain is gone. Many thanks. I was considering heading home, ( I live in Montana) but I think I’ll add this to my hiking routine and give it another try. 😊❤

[@LindaLinda-de4lq]

I had an injury to the top of my foot one year ago. Since then, my foot has been making clicking sounds when I walk. I followed your instructions and AMAZINGLY the clicking has stopped. Your exercises for sciatica relief also works immediately. I have shared that video with at least 50 people. It works. Now whenever I have an issue, I turn to you for relief.

[@DrRowe]

Thanks for watching and sharing!

Somehow, I happened to find your video, and I just wanted to tell you how much it helped me! I have had pain in the top of my left foot for 2 YEARS. I couldn't get in to see the doctor due to Covid, and I didn't know what was happening, but this nagging pain was really bothering me. In 1-2 days, it was gone! Can't thank you enough, Dr. Rowe!

[@DrRowe]

That's fantastic! Glad to hear you're getting a lot of relief, and thanks for watching.

[@carlparker6228]

thanks for your advice, i had this problem for the last four weeks and once i came across your video, i have beeen following your instructions, i have been seeing some releif from this pain, so far.

[@betsy773]

This helped!!! I dont have tennis balls but the rest of the exercises relieved about 50% of the pain..THANK YOU❤

[@angelaon1967]

God bless you! I had this terrible pain for 2 weeks and I feel MUCH better after first day of exercise! I could not walk properly and my hip was also hurting from limping. Dr. just told me that it takes time to heal a tendinitis, to take paracetamol and to wait for 4-6 weeks.

[@marciabrdy1891]

These really work until the one when you are on your knees. At 65 when we go down its a bigger deal to get back up.😂. Thank you. These have helped me tremendously!

[@DrRowe]

Glad the exercises are helping!

[@caseywaid7974]

You don’t miss. You helped me with back pain after a gym injury and foot pain after an intense 8 mile run. Thank you!!!

[@clsyldy2u]

Thank you for this. I am so very happy to have even a little relief from the tremendous pain in my foot. It really did help me.

[@honeybeerozy]

I did these stretches for the first time last night and woke up this morning without upper foot tendon pain and stiffness for the first time in weeks. Thank you!!

[@SCD0]

I had a mild sprain on the upper side of my foot, slightly to the left of the center, and there was significant swelling. After watching your video, I did the only 2 to 3 stretching exercises you recommended. The pain has completely gone away, and the swelling has reduced by 90%. I don't have words to thank you enough; 'thanks' feels like a small word

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

After doing these exercises for the first time last Saturday, my feet were so relaxed that I could hardly believe it. It was almost if the feet were just dangling there not even attached to the rest of me anymore LOL This is going to help me get my mobility back so thank you so much. I got this top of foot pain after increasing 3x a week walks up to 2 hours. I've taking enough rest now and I"m so happy to get back into things again.

[@DrRowe]

Glad the exercises are helping you, and keep at it!

[@arlenesterner6311]

That is awesome. Most likely my top of foot pain is from increasing my running schedule by adding speedwaljing in between each running day. I do no less then 5 miles a day of walking and generally up to 10 miles a day on running days.

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

@@arlenesterner6311 Yes big increases like that can do a number on you. That was the case wtih me as well. And some other pelvis issues that I hadn't fully recovered from at that time which also meant some pinched nerves. I basically stressed out my system to the max lol Every now and then I still feel a sharp pain in the top of the foot but with a few deep breaths and consciously relaxing my body it's gone. I hope you feel better soon!

[@arlenesterner6311]

Hello Dr Rowe, I have been following you for a long time. Your exercises helped me so much. Right now, I am having so much calf pain but initially, the pain was on the top of my foot. It happened when I wore bellies after many years and walked a lot while wearing them. Now my calf pain is not going. I don't want to be on painkillers. The pain is not severe but there is heaviness along with moderate pain

Wow! It worked!!! I felt the stress points you mentioned and massaged it more. Why does this happen? The pain spots you kept pointing out. I had the same.

Thanks so much for this! Definitely helped relieve a lot of the pain. I did them last night then again today, and was wondering… is it okay to do these once every day, or is more or less frequency than that recommended? & if any of the stretches etc are causing any pain, should I stop?

If you read this, Do ALL of the exercises this guy mentions. I had an extensor tendonitis on my left midfoot and it was inflamed on a nerve making my foot extremely uncomfortable. Not painful though. I just couldn't sleep because it made me want to keep moving my foot and toes around to get rid of the pressure. This was the first video I saw and I'm glad I did. The exercises relieved all of the pressure immediately.

Dr kindly talk to me on what next to do thanks

[@monica11760]

Your video popped up in my feed tonight as I was looking at other videos. I didn't realize top of the foot pain was an issue for people, other than those with small fiber neuropathy. When you have SFN, the top of the feet pain (flare) can come and go out of nowhere making it so painful to walk. Your toe rocker exercise is very similar to an exercise I do, only standing up. Face a countertop or dresser and hold on with both hands. Slowly raise your heels up so you are standing on your tippy toes like a kid (not on the toes, like a ballerina) and slowly go back down. If you have SFN, the first 3-4 times you do this will be excruciating, but after that it helps unlock that extreme pain on the top of the feet.

Great video Dr. But on the top left side of my foot just out of no where started giving me pain as I walk when flexing. When I wear wedged shoes I get some relief. I was told my foot doesn't want to flex anymore. What can I do to get relief?? Because any stretching exercises only cause more pain.
