Standing Toe Flexor Stretch
Facing a wall with the hands on it, set the toes of one foot up against the wall, heel down, and lean in; the sole and the underside of the toes stretch.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a wall, hands on it at chest height, the toes of one foot up against the wall, heel on the floor, the other foot close behind.
Steps
- Press the toes flat against the wall.
- Lean the hips gently toward the wall until the sole stretches.
- Hold and breathe, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Heel lifting off the floor: slide the foot back a little. Toes curling off the wall: keep them spread and flat against it. Stepping the back leg far away: that moves the stretch into the calf; keep the feet close.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
