Could you make one focus on the arch, i get crazy cramps, i mean i guess its simply, points toes out, then crunch and repeat but i feel better if you show or recommend, then there will be better detail and on propper form etc thx

[@PirateCaptainArthur]

Thank you, Melissa. I did your other plantar fasciitis video for a couple weeks when I first noticed the injury, and it helped take off a bit of the pain. I've been doing the last exercise from this video just throughout the last few days, and my pain has already decreased significantly, enough that I'm starting to increase the length of my walks with my dog again - something I was devastated to cut down when the pain first started to interfere with my daily life. So truly, thank you so much for these videos.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

This is so awesome!!! Way to go! Keep up the fabulous work & thank you so much for sharing and letting us know that you are getting back to your long walks! Love it 💜💜💜

[@blinkvirtualpink]

[@DrMelissaOleson]

You are a great teacher

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Thank you - Reading this made me grin from ear to ear.

[@TwistedGrits]

LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos! Super helpful! (New subscriber from Insta)

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Hi & welcome! So happy you are hear & enjoying the videos. Let me know if there is a specific topic you would like to see more of always looking for suggestions 💫

[@TwistedGrits]

@@DrMelissaOleson Thank you! I'll be better able to mention something once I finish binge watching everything you have up :) But off the cuff.. would love anything to do with strengthening the knees and the alighment of hip/knee/foot... (Old age isn't as fun as I had anticipated.lol) so I'm looking forward to working on that area

[@molopolo9362]

Merci beaucoup vos vidéos sont très intéressant, j'aimerais voir des exercices concernant les problèmes des jambes et pieds lourds à cause de la mauvaise circulation causée par les petites varices. Et merci d'avance.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

You are welcome! I can add circulation video for heavy legs to my filming list! Thank you for the suggestion! Keep up the good work.

[@karenhoward303]

Hi Dr. Melissa! You are such a good teacher! However, when you reference a video? Ït never shows

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Thank you glad you are enjoying the videos! We have lots of other foot pain relief videos on the channel like this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHTNZX6MfMlra9Esi=h21RPU9ZrlTL_9YO

[@TestTheBig4]

awesome

[@DrMelissaOleson]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@stephaniecuralli553]

Thank you! My big toes don’t move independently, nor do the other 4 toes. I have pelvic pain(vulvodynia/ pfd) so wonder if it is connected! All my toes come up at once with the toe portion of the video 🥹

[@DrMelissaOleson]

There are so many connections between the feet and pelvic floor! We have a YT video on feet and pelvic floor connection that you might enjoy. The toe exercises get easier with practice you got this!💗🌸

[@nicholasrichardson2330]

First of your videos I’ve seen…, in fact first yoga I’ve been exposed to. Will let you know how it helps. At this point…, I can’t make my big toe and 4 other toes work independently. (Clearly more practice required!) Thank you.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Welcome to the channel so happy you are hear! Yes it can take some practice to get the toes moving, but it does get easier. We have several other videos on plantar fasciitis you might enjoy too 💗 Keep up the good work!

[@nicholasrichardson2330]

@@DrMelissaOleson Thank you. I’ll watch them, also. As well as the ones related to address my stiff neck. (Before you know it, I’ll need to watch most of them!!) Thank you, again.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

@@nicholasrichardson2330 You're welcome! Enjoy!! ⭐⭐

[@tracynewlovesharlow3022]

I love these exercises and feel that they are helping. Unfortunately, I have bunions and am unable to isolate my big toes from my other 4 toes. In this exercise, all of my toes respond to the message of flexing them upward. They do not disconnect with one another.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

So awesome you are finding these helpful! It can take some practice and you can even use your hands to hold the other toes down until they get going. Just movement in general spreading the toes is great so keep up the good work💕

[@gemmasmith9678]

I have bunions it’s taken me a while and lots of practice but I can now move them seperately keep at it

[@akalveer2010]

I have been told I have bursitis tendinitis causing pinching in lower back, alongside this i have flat feet and been suffering with foot pain and tight IT band. Recently got tendinitis on mu left shoulder, same side as my leg and hip pain. Do you have yoga workout that can help to stretch all these areas in one session?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Everything is connected. There are a number of the videos inside the 30 Day challenge we have that address all of these areas and especially the myofascial release one. Here is the link to that playlist for the challenge kzbin.info/aero/PLxi1kU2xV9TOSW2_SmUX3eLzhx8u9jdqv

[@monicathrasher3561]

Hey I started your two PF videos and after 4 weeks I’m about 40% better… I had tried everything and have had PF for 8 months. I was a correctional/addiction nurse and had to stop cause I couldn’t be on my feet. I took a private duty nursing job that allowed me to sit. Because I couldn’t stand or walk for this long I started getting back and hip pain too…. SO TIGHT. I just recently added shock wave therapy, not impressed… expensive and no improvement. My Achilles, hamstrings, quads… girl it’s all tight. Any other video suggestions. I stretch about 3-4 hours a week. I still can’t walk more than a mile, use to walk 4 miles a day before PF. Want my life back.

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Sounds like you are doing all of the things, keep up the good work. Our feet and pelvic floor has a connection with the nerves that work both areas and the movements that happen at our feet affect our pelvis and vice versa. Here is a workshop I did on the topic with exercises and tips to help with both msunn.samcart.com/products/feet-pelvic-floor This is a good video for myofascial release techniques for the lower body. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b56tZKt7fJ6rqJo

Hi any other object you suggest of you sent find a tennis ball ?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Other options instead of a tennis ball is golf ball, marble, you can even use your hands.

[@user-fv8gf5pf4e]

I can't move my toes independently, so I can't lift my big toes on their own or 4 toes together or each individually. Any tips?

[@DrMelissaOleson]

Consistency is key. You can also use you hands in the beginning to help hold down while lifting the other toes. We also have lots of other foot videos. Keep up the good work!

[@gemmasmith9678]

I couldn’t do it either I practiced daily and now I can
