3. Toe Stretching Sequence

The sequence of toe stretches emphasizes on increasing flexibility and lowering forefoot and toe stiffness. Starting with your big toe, first softly grab each toe separately. Holding each position for a few seconds, rotate gently both clockwise and counterclockwise. Then gently straight out each toe, feeling the joint somewhat extend. Wearing constrictive shoes can cause stiffness, hence this helps to keep toe flexibility and avoids this. Holding this posture for ten to fifteen seconds, slowly separate your toes with your fingers. This spreading action helps offset the tight posture many toes encounter in shoes all day. At last, gently weave with your fingers between your toes to increase circulation and ease tension between the toe joints.
