infections that affect our feet, thus we may be coerced to be “inactive”. Acute problems like, Heel Spurs, Warts, Corns and Calluses, Athlete’s Foot are some of the major problems, which can cause trouble to us.
Selecting right type of shoes can help to prevent cracks in the feet. Some of the exercises that can help to improve the functioning of feet are:
While seated, (1) rise onto the balls of your feet (2) Go up on to your toes (3) Curl your toes under/ Hold each position for 5 seconds. Repeat three times every day. Good for people with hammertoes, toe cramp and arch pain.
