I’ve been wearing five finger shoes for over 10 years plus I go barefoot a lot. Before this my toes were all bunched together from too small and crowded shoes. Now I have clear space between all my toes and no foot pain. I’m 76 so don’t let age stop you. Spread those toes.

@@Fluidisometricsjust found your channel. Got a few questions on feet. 1. How do you treat feet that have had multiple attacks of gout over the years? 2. What kind of shoe is best for foot health. 3. You can’t go barefoot outside where I live but maybe 6 months out of a year. 4. I am new to your channel so I haven’t seen many of your videos so which ones do you recommend to get started on feet health that you are teaching. At 67 yrs old am I starting to late?

I’m a 99 year old dedicated walker and have been teaching about how critical spine alignment is. When it comes to feet alignment, it is just as important as it effects our pelvic alignment, critical to the health of many of our organs. “ alignment” ( posture) is the magical word that keeps our body functioning as it was designed to, from our feet to our cervical spine.

As a massage therapist, I deal with a lot of low back pain in my clients. I go to the feet first and as a general rule, people have inverted feet. They don't realize what that does to the hip rotators. So if you're having low back pain, ask your massage therapist to look at your feet, then check your hip rotators.

[@LC_Lightworker]

[@michellekidd9679]

Thank you both I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis about 20 years ago, I'm now a wheelchair user and haven't really felt my feet in years, they are numb, inflexible and prone to cramp, I knew dietary concerns weren't the only issue so I continued to look for alternatives and then your WonderFull video pops up in my feed. What I can say is even just 24 hours of doing these practices is showing results. I can feel my feet, stretch them and flex them and when I do walk I feel the connection and the flexibility of my feet, I've been a barefoot advocate since birth so really enjoying feeling my feet and a new stability. Thank you both so much, I've signed up to your Awesome channel ❤️‍🔥

Reflexology is so helpful to our health because it pulls the whole body in sync. Our feet need more attention than we give them.

[@MissEM1313]

Yeah I'm a reflexologist and I worked a friend's feet who has😊😊 diabetic neuropathy & was in a bad car wreck. He lost his mobility,he had spine injury with spinal fluid leakage in 2places. He was told he would be wheelchair bond the rest of his life he was 35 @ the time.i began working his feet every other day for the 1st 2 months in the 3rd month I went to 3days a week.towards the end of the 3rd month he called me at 2:36a.m. so happy he said he had tears of joy he had to get up in the middle of the night to pee o I got there I would wrap each foot in a heated towel & start off with a 5min meditation to try &get him to a nice relaxing state.then I would begin. At 1st he didn't know what to think becuz of course he was sore from the pressure points & release of blocked up qi. Sore in the shoulders, sore in the lower back but he realized that after that next days soreness he felt better(gooder)😅. So anybody on the fence about the care of your feet & health of your over-all body.go to your local reflexologist & get your feet happy and the rest will follow.😊💜

[@pamalamartin4059]

Been a Reflexologist for 25 years . A massage therapist for 22. This is great information! .Also want to say I have always been drawn to getting my fingers between my clients toes and holding believing it will release so much in the body. Some clients cant handle the discomfort so I release pretty quickly. I love it for my feet!

[@Stlouisbartending]

Would you describe what you mean? How? If one is doing it themselves?

[@dreamervanroom]

@@Stlouisbartending do you want to go in deeply and stretch little movements to the right and left up and down. There’s no need to press so hard and quick that you can’t stand it. It’s best to be in a place where it’s sore but not hurt. You can use a little oil, but not so much that you can’t press in. You can just stay there and gently sink into but it’s best to go all around the area. You’re working on one level of depth and then do it again but deeper. Maybe the next day, even. What you’re doing is you’re stretching the fascia. You’re freeing things that are stuck together. Too bad we can’t get together in the world. KZbin doesn’t make that happen. Did I say you can hold it in sinking slowly I could tell you to look at your finger, your working finger, from the inside of your body. That helps you see things from the inside of your body. You can slowly grow that ability. All the best .

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I seen a reflexology massage therapist about a month ago

[@neliademelo6176]

You know how you lace your fingers together sometimes in prayer? 🙏 ... your fingers hold on to the opposite hand. Well... doing this to the toes with your fingers is what they meant. Yes. It IS painful. And sometimes you can only get the first finger knuckle in. But with a bit of massaging and time (it took me 3 days) you'll be able to thread your fingers completely through. (This is awesome for bunions) it straightens out your toes. And you can bend your feet backwards forwards. Twisting side to side... releasing lots of tension in the feet. Your feet will feel heavenly....

When we as kids sprained our ankle somewhere during the day, nothing was done until going to bed. My mother used a method she learned from her mother and put on a big piece of cotton wadding drenched in water. Over that she put a piece of plastic to avoid leaking (as much as possible) and drying out, and over that came a thick kind of bandage held together with a safety pin. She called it a water bandage. It worked miracles. While we were sleeping the bandage got up to body temperature and most of the time the ankle was healed or practically healed the next morning. The skin was all creased cause of the water and the cloth but that went away after half an hour and we were running around again. I'm always amazed no one seems to know about this. If I tell people they don't even consider doing this. No, they rather go to hospital and get a stiff bandage or worse, a cask.

I've been on a healing journey since 2016, starting with natural vision improvement, becoming egoscue certified, core balance training, chiropractic, self mfr for 2+ hours a day, getting massages.....and each step unlocks the need for something deeper. I have been using five finger shoes almost exclusively for 8 years, just got some Xeros last year. None of it has been enough and I was able to figure out that no matter what I do for muscle health, my fascia just pulls me back like a full body corset, so I have been in chronic pain for almost 18 years. I HATE when people say pain is age related. Its not. Its time related, cause I've been in pain since I was 20 that just kept getting worse and worse.

@pennylacombe4763 @lesliebarrett4390, Are there any Community organizations nearby that have volunteers for walking with you? An auxillary women's group, like Red Hat Society or church? Perhaps a young women's group or school project? Look online for them, or local news or pamphlets in the mail may advertise them. We found a helper for my Mom when she got Alzheimers, so we could go food shopoing & take my Dad to the barber or doctor while she walked and had lunch with Mom. Ask if they can they spend an hour walking with you 3 times a week? It's great & so good for your health that you will be doing inside exercise. I'm just thinking it would be so much better if you could get outside, mentally, physically & emotionally... Maybe visit a local park & engage with someone walking by with a pet or sitting on a bench. I think you can accomplish a lot, even sitting in a chair, rotating & flexing your feet, raising, stretching and lowering your legs, until you can bicycle both legs. Use your walker or maybe a table or wall for support, raise up on your toes, maybe do one at a time until you build strength & balance. Then tip up on your heels & lower several times. Watch Motivation Doc & other doctors for seated exercises, may even be streamed on your tv! Look up Tai Chi on KZbin or tv as easy exercises for balance, mobility and strength. Lifting water bottles or canned foods helps your upper body as well as circulation.💪🏻 Wishing you all the best in Life! Namaste 🙏🏻 🤲🏻 🕊

Okay, I am all in!!! I am so grateful for my feet but my feet have also been my nemesis for most of my life. I was in ballet, gymnastics and then bartended for 20+ years. I've had bunions on both feet and painful for the past 25+ years. My ankle kept giving way on me and had many sprains, which led me to having ankle ligament repair surgery, where the surgeon also performed an osteotomy on the same foot at the same time. Not good. Surgeon left the country for 5 weeks and was given poor aftercare. Needless to say, after 4 different casts and foot orthotics, my foot still wasn't healing correctly. I had PT for 7 months and went to a Brain & Body facility for 8 months after that ended. I am going to find your videos and exercises and follow you everywhere!

After he worked on my foot I could BREATHE! He also asked if I had a baby- yes - I had 30 years ago! My babies stem cells were also blocked from assisting me stay well 😳😳😳! The baby stem cells have an effect and some stay in the mother after birth. Because the birth was traumatic my body had held the shock from that AND my accident!

Using your fingers, or the handle of a wooden spoon, place fingers or wooden handle between your toes and apply pressure into the webbing. Put enough pressure so you start to feel the pain, but not so much that you can't breathe comfortably. Hold for 3 minutes. Do this between all toes. If you want, come see what people are saying about this in our facebook group: facebook.com/groups/1888044614779525/

[@conniedavis6281]

I was diagnosed with PD 13 months ago. Ataxic gait and pain are my worst symptoms. I also have rigidity, tremor and non motor symptoms. The pain spirals up from my feet. I did finger pressure between toes for the first time last night and this AM and I am amazed how much better my feet feel. I look forward to starting with breath work today. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

I entered this world after breaking my pinky toe 5 months ago. After pampering it by sitting too much I developed hip flexor issues and then suddenly double plantar fasciitis with severe neuropathy! Very scary. Finally after 3 months of stretching hips daily and using a splint, inserts, ice, and castor oil, the neuropathy is gone but the arches and heels are still angry and this video is so welcome.

[@Fluidisometrics]

Hi Cyndi! I'm glad you found us! The feet are so important and the issues you mentioned can definitely be scary. Luckily Block Therapy is very effective at addressing them.

I started using correct toes spacers because nothing was creating lasting relief for the intense pain in my right Achilles. Within two days of wearing the correct toes, the knot and the pain in my Achilles were going away. I highly recommend all my clients use them.

I thought she did explain. She said take your finger and press down between each toe for 3 minutes each. I did it while watching the podcast using my phone timer. She said you must press firmly so I was using my other hand to help keep pressure on my finger.

I wish I met you both when I was 20. I am 71 and not one physician understand when I ask for help with my feet. I have rt foot supination where the podiatrist said "look your foot does not stay up if not connected to the ankle and leg"The mold feel right over while the left was level I did not know how to correct it. I have Scoliosis and now L4L5 stenosis. My toes have not been movable in yrs. It's been frustrating as inside I knew what needed attention. I have the "Five Toe Vibram" shoes ( I love them but not all models are equal. I have some original styles and 1 newer one. I try and then return or exchange the reviews are fairly accurate) I wear them as much as possible I have never worn pointy shoes. All my shoes are zero drop. That has been a saving grace. Round toes since I was 16. I have only worn high clogs back in the day but never high heels. Thank you so much for speaking up about the feet. The most important part of our body and so neglected. I keep telling my feet I love them!

[@annahayes1007]

My feet were so nice when I was young. Nice arch, nice toes. Now, over time, wearing both sensible shoes and high heels, which always killed feet---my feet have collapsed. No arch. And I'ma super-pronator. My feet roll in to the center. I wear anti-pronation shoes, with custom made arch supports. I love that you tell your feet you love them. I'm going to do this.

[@Brancaalice]

I start have attention to my feet when I was very young, around 6, I remember my mother be mad with me when I keep long time caring for my feet before go to school. It was obsession I didnt know where came from, I just told my mother, that i need carry for them cause they carry me to school. I really didnt know what a child this age focus in feet, like it talked to her. My mother thought I was nut.

I love the integration of daily foot massage. I've added getting energy moving through tapping or slapping the meridians. You are spot on about the thought of years of information or lack there of creating reluctantancy on what's truly should come naturally. It's like people are afraid to touch their weakness to create flow. "No, no, no don't touch it, it hurts!" Thanks again! Peace & Lo💖e!

I’m a foot zone practitioner (in Central Utah) and I can attest to this video & their words. My clients’ backs release when I do their foot zone; their tenor fascia and IT bands are improved (“looser”); and their circulation and lymph of the whole body is fully engaged and moving after their full one-hour foot zone (similar to reflexology). Thank you for this video! I will definitely be sharing with my clients!

Wonderful! It's amazing what the toe work can do.

[@laylas7429]

An old-fashioned remedy for ear infections in babies or small children, was to put 100% cotton socks, wet with cool water, (but not dripping wet ), on their feet… then quickly put dry 100% wool socks over the cotton ones, and put them to bed… This is how it works. The cold, wet, cotton socks stimulate circulation to flood from from the head down into the feet, and the wool socks, keep the feet warm all night, and so with all of the circulation going down into the feet, the head and neck drain and the ear infection heals… I know it sounds far-fetched, but I raised five kids doing this for them, and it worked every single time I did it! And quickly! so for the people out there who like doing things more naturally, I highly recommend trying this. And I’ve never tried it on adults, but I don’t see why it would’nt work just as well.

[@Fluidisometrics]

Interesting! I've also heard that onion on the ear helps as well. Love the old remedies!
