Here's a toe yoga video I have saved. https://youtu.be/jlttjF0OSx0 I haven't actually done this one yet but I do some of the same things. I do two rounds per foot, 10 reps each (per round): lift big toe only, lift all but big toe, lift only center three toes, then lift all toes & place down one at a time (I have only started at the little toe, not the big one) and then spread the toes for 5 sec hold then squeeze like a fist for a 5 sec hold. I'm trying to do it in the morning and at night.
(Hopefully that link works. I copied it from one of my other check ins and that doesn't always seem to work right.) Yeah I think that first podiatrist who wanted to do surgery said I would be 3-4 weeks non weight bearing. No thank you! I think it's still a couple weeks till my orthotics should be done. I cannot wait to get new shoes! Especially walking ones but my running ones should be replaced too. The first week of Aug was great for workouts. This past week not so much. Tue was just toe yoga and PT stretches, Wed just toe yoga, Thu just a run (no warmup stuff or stretch after...very naughty!) and toe yoga, Fri just toe yoga. And Cyric's walks every day. Next week I will do better!
