Foot health directly affects our overall mobility and quality of life. Regular foot exercises strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and help prevent foot disorders. Here are some simple foot exercises you can practice every day:

1. Ankle movement: Move your ankle in the direction of the arrows and hold for 3 seconds.
2. Stretch with a towel: Pull your ankle to yourself with a towel or belt and wait 10 seconds.
3. Finger stretching: Using your hands, bend your toes towards the top of your foot and hold for 10 seconds.
4. Wall flexing: Leaning against the wall with your hands and keeping your knee straight, press your heel to the floor, feel the tension for 10 seconds.
5. Ball rolling: Sitting down, roll a soda bottle or a small ball under your feet.
6. Towel collection: Gather a towel that you put underneath with your toes.
7. Rise on tiptoe: Rise up on your toes and come back down to your sole and rise up on your heels.
8. Strengthening with resistance tape: Strengthen your foot in all four directions using a resistance rubber.

You can protect your foot health by practicing these exercises twice a day, 10 repetitions each. For more exercises and details, you can visit Dr. Derya Can’s website or YouTube channel.
