Massage on the sole

Sitting on the floor with knees bent and feet close to the abdomen (the lotus position). Keep your back straight, but without forcing.

Take a stand and make a gentle massage, making circles with fingers and traveling across the floor. Stresses the most painful areas. Spend a couple of minutes on each foot. Massages in soles help ease tensions.

Separate fingers

Sitting on the floor (you can put a blanket underneath), extend your legs. Move ankles in circles about 10 times. Then slowly straighten your arms toward your feet and spread the fingers intertwining with hands. To perform this exercise, we will notice a slight back strain.

Exercises on tiptoe

We put on tiptoe, first with one foot, keeping back straight and look straight ahead. We maintain the position for two minutes. Then change feet. With this exercise help activate the body’s circulation.
