@SuperEarther Ahhh, the toes. Yes, strengthen them can be helpful. You can also pull back the toes with your fingers and press the toes to resist. The towel exercises will strengthen the toes as well. I wish you luck on building your fitness!

@mindfulmovementllc also been told that whilst lying down and then bending the knees then holding the toes with your hands then stretching the legs out is very good. My ostiopath said my toes were very week so i think flexing them up and down would be good. thanks alot for the help. I can start building on my fitness.

@SuperEarther The stuff you're doing sounds good. Be aware that you aren't mainly using the toes. You want the entire foot to be working. You can think of the ball of the foot and heel to initiate movements. As well, make sure to think about the calf and shin muscle. It is easy to jam into the ankle or avoid your weaknesses and tightnesses. Try to focus on stretching the calf and pulling up from the shin when flexing up and pulling from the calf and stretcing from the shin when flexing down.

Always make sure you can still see your toes with any exercises. That your knees don't go over your toes. This has helped me totally with my knee problems.

@mindfulmovementllc have seen a ostiopath and two physiotherapists, the ostiopath was good but his clinic moved away. I practice reiki using the steve murray dvds. I also have the reiki master symbol for dai kyo mo. I have started doing ankle strengthening excerises whilst sitting down and flexing up and down the ankle joint. Also lifting my legs into a elevated position is ok.

i will try the towel exercises as i really need to increase the strength and im sure my problem will improve
