Toega

toega-feet

These 8 Toega (yoga for your toes) exercises are designed for their potential to restore human foot function. We recommend that you perform these exercises regularly – at work, in the gym or even whilst cooking! If you have any medical conditions or pre-existing foot pain we recommend you consult with your physician. Please see Disclaimer*

Functional Footwear

1. Exercise

Big toe mobilisation Extension

Improves the flexibility & mobility of the big toe. Starting with the foot flat on the floor, roll the foot forward and tuck the lesser toes under the foot. Draw the heel backward towards the floor to increase the stretch. To improve the strength of the big toe, root the big toe into the floor by the pushing it into the ground. When the lesser toes are tucked under keep the heel, ankle and knee aligned in the same vertical plane. Make sure the knee and / or heel are lot leaning to the left or right. To complete the exercise roll the foot back into the starting position.

2. Exercise

Big toe mobilisation flexion

Improves the flexibility & mobility of the big toe. Starting with the foot flat on the floor, roll the foot forward over the big toe. Tuck the big toe under by bending at the joint. It may take some practice to gain the full range of movement, you can use your hands to assist if necessary. When the toe is tucked under keep the heel, ankle and knee aligned over the toes. Make sure the knee and / or heel are not leaning to the left or right. Try to get the 4 lesser toes touch the floor, this may not be possible straight away but should improve over time. To complete the exercise roll the foot back into the starting position.

3. Exercise

Big toe extension

Strengthens the foot whilst also improving the neuromuscular connection between the brain and the big toe. Whilst standing, lift only the big toe off the ground. Root the lesser toes into the floor by pushing them into the ground. Place the big toe back on the floor and repeat. It is important to keep the ball of the foot in contact with the ground at all times. This exercise may be quite challenging at the start, but as your proprioception improves it will become easier.

Toega with Foot Wedges

Developed by Lee Saxby:

The functional anatomy of the foot can be considered a twisted plate of bones and ligaments (’lamina pedis’). A foot that is too ‘twisted’ or not ‘twisted’ enough is a dysfunctional foot with reduced shock absorbing, stabilising and propulsive functions. The Foot Wedges have been specially designed to ‘twist’ or ‘untwist’ the foot-plate as required by manipulating the effects of gravity on the joints of the foot during the different phases of walking gait.
