Tailored stretching: Ankle, foot and toe exercises (for arthritis and joint pain)

In this gentle twenty-minute follow-along stretching video, physiotherapist Jay Milomo is joined by James who lives with arthritis. Together they demonstrate commonly recommended ankle, foot and toe exercises for people living with arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions, including seated calf stretch, ankle rotation, alphabet writing, toe spread, basic balance and standing heel raise. This session will be beneficial in improving strength and mobility in your ankles, feet and toes. Designed to be incorporated into your daily routine, these exercises can be done anywhere and at any time of the day that suits you. Most of the exercises will be sat down and some will be done standing up so make sure you have plenty of space around you as well as something to lean against such as a bed, a wall or a sofa.

Time: 20 min

Items to bring along: a chair for the seated exercises, a towel and a resistance band (optional).
