Healthy Foot Class: New Session Beginning February 25th!
Event Date: February 25th, March 4, 11, 18 Posted on: February 15th, 2009A class of exercise and self-care for the foot and ankle. This class will benefit almost anyone with a foot/ankle problem, but does not include corn and nail care, nor is it a class to learn diabetic foot care. It is ideal for runners, dancers, athletes, hikers, walkers or those with foot pain (eg. arch pain, heel pain, metatarsal pain, tendonitis) or fallen arches. Activities include:
- Strengthening: particularly of those hard-to-strengthen digital intrinsics and first ray muscles
- Stretching: the correct way to stretch the calf and toe extensor tendons
- Balance: proprioception drills, excellent for preventing sprains and falls
- Foot as the foundation for posture and movement
- Gait re-education
- Arch strengthening: for the metatarsal and long arches
- Self massage and “toe gymnastics” stretching
- Invigorating exercises and restorative positions to improve lower leg circulation
Thursdays 6:30pm
A new healthy foot class begins each month except August and December.
Class fee: $150/series of 4classes
Class duration: 1 hr
