ami1436 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 My physio has noted that by walking 'funny' to avoid pain caused by an ankle injury earlier this year, I've also managed to tighten the bottom of my foot a bit. Particularly, my big toe is not as flexible as usual in dorsiflection. We think that as I slowly get more into class again, I'll regain some flexibility through releves, tendus, etc... and I'm doing some gentle massage as well. He's suggested that I ask for some gentle stretches for dorsiflection from my ballet teachers, but as we're still out for Easter break, I thought I'd ask here as well. Any suggestions?

Clara 76 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yep. Massage and 'Yoga-Toes'! This is a link to a product that you could purchase, or you can just use your fingers in the same manner: Yoga Toes Quote Link to comment
ami1436 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks Clara_76! I have these: http://www.dr-l.co.jp/e/Genkikun.html which were given to me. Seems fairly similar. I'll try to use them more often (I should bring them into the office to use under the desk!) Quote Link to comment
Clara 76 Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Yep! Looks similar!!!! You really can just use your fingers though. But probably not under your desk..... Quote Link to comment
ami1436 Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hee...... If I could do that *and* type, I'm sure I'd have crazy flexible metatarsals! Quote Link to comment
