How to Self Massage Feet

[@poppies1215]

Thank you for taking the time to teach the care of our feet. I never realized how important these exercises were to master.

[@carollegault287]

My friend is a reflexologist/pediatrist and when he visited my man he always gave me an hour or two foot massages. I learned a lot from his and still love to massage my feet. Feels soooo good. Ahhh.

where can i find a ball like you have ??

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Street hockey ball. Google would tell you. Near me, it said Dick's Sporting Goods and Walmart have that online. - I don't have one, nor a tennis ball either, and I'm really isolated so noone to ask for an old one. But you can probably find a tennis ball. In fact, maybe I'll go to the tennis courts and try to scavenge one. Also I was thinking maybe buy a dog-toy! - I'm making do with this hard "super-ball" I somehow had. (Also had a massage ball Somewhere but I can't find it; probably donated it during a clutter purge.)

Please address how to do foot exercises with sore Achilles tendon problems!!!

[@lynnfardella8581]

I get quite serious toe cramping to where they involuntarily point up without my being able to manipulate them even using my hands. It’s very painful so I really need to try your techniques. I’ll let you know how it goes. You’re a pleasure to listen to. Thank you

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you

[@carollegault287]

Me too and ouch for sure. They start in my feet and work their way up my calves. I know what you're going thru.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Yah, I get cramps too! Drink lots of water; try to build up exercise slowly.. It happens more with age, something to do with nerve signals, I forget.

[@RehanaHussain-z6q]

Cramping is a clear sign of MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCY Include fruits & veggies that are high in Magnesium Also apply Magnesium Oil on the legs & feet Hope it helps I’ve personally benefited from including Magnesium in my diet

[@hannahgautsche5939]

Looking forward to trying this! I’ve been dealing with a pesky sesamoiditis for the last year and a half. Assuming I’ll need to avoid massage over that sesamoid bone? Is there anything else I’d need to avoid? Thank you so much!!

[@nancyleng1399]

Hi Margaret. I have been having lots of knee pain and also I can hear lots of crackling sound from my knees, can I still do your knee bending stretching? Will it help to improve my knee condition?. Or should I avoid this knee stretching exercise? I am 57. Kindly advice. Thank you

[@lynneholden6216]

What happens if you broke your foot on the edge where the smaller bones are and have a plate in your foot and it bothers you when your walking long distances?

[@myworld9746]

My knees really hurt when I try this. Any advice?

[@grmalinda6251]

She speaks of using pillow to open the knees when sitting to stretch the ankles. Perhaps it might help if you use a pillow during the other exercise. Idk

[@bethsnyder9053]

What do you do to increase flexibility after Bunyan foot surgery? It seems to have thrown off my whole foot.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Well, Paul Bunyan may have had bunions too, probably from wearing those big stomper boots while he chopped down trees.

[@roseminatejani263]

Hi Margaret. I would like to try doing the exercise where you sit on our knees. I had a full knee replacement around 7 years ago and since then I have avoided sitting on the floor like this. Is this exercise safe to do with a TKR? I really want to be able to sit on the floor and have that flexibility but am worried I might damage the knee.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Ask your doctor, no?

[@sharonmitchel1377]

Thank you! I tried to move to barefoot shoes last year. I did well for awhile then got tight Achilles’ tendons and sore heals. Hoping these exercises will help.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Great job!

[@cockeyedoptimista]

Did you give up on the "barefoot" shoes? I thought they were supposed to make toes less cramped up. Always looked intriguing but I never tried.

[@sharonmitchel1377]

@@cockeyedoptimista i am retired so wear wamsutta flat soled slippers around the house. In the summer I am mostly barefoot. Outdoors when walking or on uneven surfaces like during gardening 8 wear my old hiking boots. I continue to do foot, balance and leg strengthening and stretching exercises. I am much better now.

[@louchenier]

I have foot neuropathy will this help me I can’t walk bare feet I’m 77 years old. Thanks

[@margaretmartinpt]
